Gourmet products local specialties and wines L'Ermitage Les Bains

Certainly the best ice cream maker on the island! The hardest part for the gourmets will be to make a choice among the 24 delicious flavours on offer; guaranteed without preservatives, colourings or artificial flavours. A know-how learned in Paris, at the Lenôtre school. Milkshakes, pancakes, waffles, cones, hot chocolate sauce or spreads, everything is homemade and on the spot. To sit down to eat, a nicely decorated air-conditioned room and a terrace outside. As for those who would like to make the pleasure last all the way home, there are take-out bins available.

Renowned Reunionese artisan baker Laurent Encatassamy, who won the award for the best French Tradition baguette in 2018, has set up his second bakery in the heart of the Engen petrol station in La Saline-les-Bains. Special breads, pastries, pastries (individual and to share), snacking, salad bar, carrys, samoussas, chilli sweets, macatias... you'll find delicious savoury and sweet preparations to treat yourself at any time of the day! We love the Snickers pie and the turmeric bread.

Rhum Métiss, it is above all the story of Cédric and his artisanal rums produced locally without colourings or preservatives, with fresh seasonal fruits. On the strength of his first successes and many awards in competitions, he innovates, creates new ranges, opens one and then three shops, to offer more than 200 references of punches and arranged rums, including the most awarded in the world! The flavours and colours of Reunion Island, sugar cane, victoria pineapple or bourbon vanilla are all there. Voted best craftsman of the year in 2020.
