Bellevue

Top choice in La Digue


It's a hell of a hike or cycle to get to this eagle's eyrie, but you'll be amply rewarded with cardiac-arresting views. At lunchtime, it serves up the usual Creole seafood suspects at very reasonable prices. Dinner is a more romantic affair, and should be booked ahead; the set price includes transfers to La Passe. A good deal.
