Villa Marthe

Top choice in Réunion


This excellent restaurant serves hearty regional dishes including curries, stews and bol renversé (a bowl of rice with various toppings) at very affordable prices. You’ll need to get here early for lunch, especially if you want a (plastic) table on the shady terrace. Save a cranny for the delicious chocolate cake.
