Sarah Beach

Réunion


North of town, this restaurant has a great position overlooking the lagoon. With such appealing surroundings, many alfrescoholics would go back to this breezy veranda by the sea for the location alone, but the eclectic fare is tempting, too, especially the pierrades (a hot stone surface on which you cook thin strips of meat or fish), served at dinner.
