Le Bistrot de Pépé Gentil

Réunion


This much-lauded venture with a vintage feel serves a range of culinary delights that deliciously represent French bistro cooking. The ris de veau (veal sweetbreads) and filet de voilier (sailfish fillet) are two specialities to look for, though the menu changes regularly according to markets and seasons.

Its location on a nondescript square is nothing to write home about; the real clinchers are the food and the civilised atmosphere.
