Consisting of a wooden shack and sand-floored tent overlooking the water between Ste-Anne and Pointe Marin beach, this place serves the perfect seaside lunch. The food is typical of Martinique: acras (deep-fried balls of dough filled with fish or shrimp), tuna tartare, catch of the day and conch are all on the menu, as is a superb basil mojito.
