Le Kontiki

Grande-Terre


The superfluous South Seas theme may leave you cold, but the fantastic location at the western end of Ste-Anne beach and the satisfying menu – encompassing fish and meat grills, salads, omelets, pancakes and sandwiches – make this place worth seeking out. The food's inexpensive and snacky, and there's a long drinks list. The place also stays open longer than others here.
