Chez Tante Athalie

Top choice in The North


The best-known table d'hôte in the area, open-sided Chez Tante Athalie offers fresh, simple, wonderful Creole tastes overlooking a garden filled with vintage cars. There's an oasis-like feel to the place. From the entrance to the botanical gardens, follow the signs around 500m to the T-junction, turn left and then watch for a signposted driveway 2km further on your left.

It opened in November 2003, and that it has survived this long owes everything to quality.
