Plenty of smiles from the owners, recipes plucked straight out of grandma's cookbook, a serene setting in the Hauts and partial sea views from the terrace – if you're after an authentic Creole experience, this place is hard to beat. Here you can eat local specialities that are hard to find elsewhere, such as chicken with palm hearts and papaya cake.
Note that it's not a walk-in restaurant – it's a private home that's open by reservation only. It's signposted from the main road.
