Lanbousir

La Digue


The flavour-filled smoke wafting from this ramshackle eatery should be enough to lure you onto one of its off-kilter picnic tables for a filling lunch after (or before) working your tan at nearby Anse Source d'Argent. Run by a gang of affable ladies, it serves up seafood salads, a variety of lip-smacking curries and grilled fish, prawns and octopus.

It's within L'Union Estate & Copra Factory.
