Le Mabouya

Top choice in Martinique


This superb restaurant at Hôtel Corail Résidence is one worth splurging on, with a fantastic and inventive French-Creole menu. Try a signature dish such as lobster ravioli, scallops with risotto or just the life-affirming crème brûlée. Reservations are a good idea.
