Chez Leger

Reviewed By sharkdiversl6 - Maidenhead, United Kingdom

Service is a touch slow, but the food is well worth the wait. The place is known for its kebab evenings, specially the "lambis" ones. They also have grilled meat and fish, but I haven't tried these - I always go for the kebabs :)

Le Belem

Reviewed By dmittleman - Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

This restaurant at the over-rated Le Cap Est is perhaps the biggest disappointment on the island. The restaurant is understaffed. There are not enough menus. After the first 3 tables are seated, you have to wait at least 1/2 hour to be seated. Then you wait again for a menu (another 1/2 hour). The appetizer takes approximately 45 minutes, then the entree another 45 minutes. This is not leisurely dining. This is just disgraceful. The staff just seem overwhelmed and really don't care. This is not a one time experience. I was held captive at the hotel for 4 meals. It never got any better. For the prices that are charged, it should be a gourmet dining experience with stellar service. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT.

La Ferme des Orchidees au Francois

Reviewed By MRM1655 - Cooperstown, New York

We enjoyed two excellent dinners at Le Ferme des Orchidees. The menu offers fresh, primarily local fare and changes regularly. The appetizers and main dishes we tried were all excellent. We enjoyed local fish and beef. Desserts were very good, too, particularly molten chocolate cake....MoreThank you ?

Cote Est

Reviewed By Sara O - New York City, New York

To be honest, getting there was more 'interesting' than the lunch. The winding drive up and up is not for the faint of heart and downright scary at times. It was found by a combination of google maps, perseverance and passing drivers. The owner is charming with no English and the elevated location offers good views especially to the east. Lunch is served from a deck so everyone has a view.

La Riviera

Reviewed By arcole - Arras, France

Si vous visitez "l'Habitation Clément", près de Le François, n'hésitez pas à retenir une table, sur la terrasse, face mer, au restaurant "La Riviéra". L'accueil est agréable et la vue superbe.
Il faut prendre le menu "langouste" (env. 36 €), dans lequel vous dégusterez une 1/2 langouste, une brochette de grosses crevettes et une brochette d'un excellent poisson de pays.

Le Cap sud Est

Reviewed By NYCTravelPal - NYC

We arrived for dinner after having corresponding with a general manager who apparently left the hotel two days before we arrived. The restaurant was super accommodating in ensuring that our pre-planned (vegetarian) menu would be available to us. The restaurant was super nice and the food delicious. We had an incredible meal. The hotel and restaurant are located at the end of a deserted road which is pretty dark at night so you might consider going during lunch.

Plein Soleil

Reviewed By tysonroxy - Miami

The decor is really chic here at Plein Soleil. The artwork is fantastic. We rented a bungalow suite with a little private pool, the room was very large and the bathroom was big too. To get to Plein Soleil you have to come down a 20 minute drive through banana fields on a dirt road filled with holes, and no signs. When the taxi was bringing us it was at night and it really was strange to travel to a hotel on a road like that. It was much worse than any country roads or dirt roads in the Caribbean or anywhere else that I've ever seen. There were actually hubcaps in the road from having popped off of someone's car on the rough drive. The hotel is very remote and once you get there you feel totally trapped unless you rent a car. A taxi anywhere will cost you 60 to 100 euro. The wifi in the hotel doesn't really work unless you're in the lobby and even then its spotty. The air-conditioning doesn't really work either. So it can be really uncomfortable warm. The staff is really nice and the food is terrific although there isn't really a menu for dinner its just a choice of fish or beef. That said, the food was super tasty french food (creamy sauces).

Le Campeche

Reviewed By dmittleman - Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

This restaurant at Le Cap Est has a lovely setting. The food is acceptable although the portions are small and it is very pricey. The service, however, is terrible. It takes forever to proper simple food. The staff does not seem to care. Avoid this restaurant.

Fruity Boules

Reviewed By David A - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

We just happened on this place while wondering around the island. Everything was exactly as expected. Typical slower service as is in most of the island with traditional offerings. Nothing special here, but I wasn't looking for anything special either.
