Les 2 Pitons de la Fournaise
( 0262 47 23 16; RN2; mains €12-19; lunch)
Opposite Notre Dame des Laves church, this no-
frills eatery specialises in Creole classics. The setting being bland, your best bet is to take
away (mains €5) - you'll find plenty of atmospheric spots along the coast driving south of
Piton Ste-Rose.

Anse des Cascades
Restaurant des Cascades
( 0262 47 20 42; Anse des Cascades; mains €13-27, menus €12-25; lunch Sat-Thu)
A local and tourist
favourite, this beach restaurant in a lovely coconut grove bursts to the seams on week-
ends. It serves fresh fish and Creole dishes as well as sandwiches and a lovely palm-heart
salad. The lunch buffet (€12) served on weekdays is brilliant value. Nab a seat if it's not
too busy, otherwise take your order to go and enjoy it in a quieter spot near the beach.
