This eatery is the best place in St-Denis to try authentic Creole food by dipping into one of 15 cracking carris (curries) and civets (stews). There are also Western-style fish and meat dishes on offer if your tummy and palate are timid. The menu is translated into English – a rarity in Réunion. Most dishes cost less than €16.
