The best restaurants La Passe

On the pleasant shady road inland, the pleasant straw hut-restaurant of the Château Saint-Cloud can be the object of a thirsty or hungry stopover, at any time of the day. From octopus with coconut milk to vegetable brochettes and spaghetti bolognaise, and from sandwiches to ice cream, there is something to satisfy every appetite. Three nights a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday), the chef prepares a Creole buffet, at an affordable price, and a Coconut Kiss or a Banana Daiquiri can extend the evening at the bar.

Le Nautique, the restaurant of the eponymous hotel, is first of all a dream spot facing the Indian Ocean where you can eat almost with your feet in the water. On the menu, light and fast at lunch time, mainly composed of good burgers, fish & chips, tacos with Creole sauce and octopus curry in particular. As the sun sets, it's time for the more sophisticated dinner menu. With a few options for carnivores, but above all seafood products sublimated by the chef that only add to the pleasure of the taste buds.

Under the shady roadside shades, salads, sandwiches, burgers, pasta and pizzas can be served at any time of the day... From whole grilled fish in crab curry and octopus in coconut milk, to lemongrass soup, you can enjoy local specialties. The speciality of the day is announced on the slate, but what works well in the evening is the seafood platter. You can also stop for a cheap drink or take a take-away (between 50 and 80 SR per tray).

Located on the waterfront, going up north from the pier, this Moonlight Beach Villa is a good option to get under the table and discover some Creole and international specialities for lunch and dinner. But we go there mainly for the view, which plunges into the ocean.

Opened in August 2017, this is the most popular new address in La Digue. This hut facing the ocean and the island of Praslin offers Creole and international cuisine but, above all, an enchanting setting. Here, you can enjoy first-class seafood, fish soups to fall and some good meat dishes, with your feet in the sand and a gentle breeze at nightfall.
