L'Assiette du Nord
( 265 7040; Trou aux Biches Rd, Trou aux Biches; mains Rs 150-450; noon-2.30pm & 6-10pm)
A popular
option where you can opt for the terrace or a slightly smarter dining area behind the fish-
tank partition. Seafood features strongly, served in Chinese, Indian and Creole style. Try
fish cooked in banana leaf with madras sauce or perhaps prawns in garlic butter.

Cabanne du Peche
( 711 2729; Royal Rd, Trou aux Biches; mains from Rs 400; noon-9pm)
You just don't get experien-
ces like this if you never leave your resort. This seaside kiosk is run by an all-female crew
who serve fabulous local specialties, among them prawns or fish in red Creole sauce and
fish curry with eggplant. Servings are large and the ramshackle tables right next to the
beach could just be our favourites along this stretch of coast.

( 265 6337; off Royal Rd, Mont Choisy; set menus Rs 1500-4000, mains Rs 1000-3000; noon-2pm & 7-9pm
Mon-Sat)
Wonderfully light decor and a great terrace overlooking the fishing boats in the sea
below set the scene for a truly superior eating experience. Dishes such as lobster in ginger
and sake sauce should give you an idea of what to expect, but the fine set menus are all
worth considering.
