Baobab Pizzeria
( 4247167; Beau Vallon; mains Rs 95-140; lunch & dinner)
Madame Michel presides over this un-
pretentious, sand-floored eatery right on the beach. After a morning spent in the waves,
re-energise with a piping-hot pizza, a plate of spag or fish and chips.

; Beau Vallon; lunch menu Rs 130-200, buffet dinner Rs 400; lunch & dinner)
Having benefitted from a refurbishment, this longstanding venture is a great place for a
slap-up meal. Its buffet dinner should satisfy all but the hungriest visitors, with about 20
different dishes on offer, including Creole curries, salads and barbecued fish (usually tuna
and, if you're lucky, red snapper). It also has a limited but tasty selection of fish dishes at
lunchtime. The open-sided dining areas let in the marina breezes to keep things cool.
Banana Leaf

( 4261369; Glacis; mains Rs 120-290; lunch & dinner)
The in-house restaurant of the Bliss hotel
has that perfect balance of laid-back and chic, and the setting is ravishing - there are
daybeds, it's candlelit at dinner and the views of the ocean will take your breath away.
The menu is concise and tempting - here's your chance to dine at sunset on fresh fish,
burgers and top-notch salads.

La Fontaine

( 4422288; Beau Vallon; mains Rs 120-400; noon-10pm Mon-Sat)
You're sure to find something to
fill a gap at this unpretentious eatery across the road from the beach (no sea views). The
menu is a mixture of French, Italian and island influences, with seafood at the fore. Try
the smoked fish salad or the crab with ginger.
