Old Pier Café

La Digue


Find some shade at a table beneath the large tree or under this cafe's sloping roof, then sink your feet into the seaside sand and your teeth into a light meal. The most atmospheric restaurant within L'Union Estate & Copra Factory serves open sandwiches, salads and seafood straight off the grill.

It's also a great place for a cool drink or sunset cocktail; happy hour runs from 4pm to 6pm (cocktails Rs 100).
