Creole restaurants in St Pierre

  1. Flagrant Délice

    The hippest eatery at the time of writing, Flagrant Délice is a gourmand's playpen. Be good to yourself with kangaroo fillet with onion chutney, John Dory fillet, beef with morels and luscious wines. Try to nab a seat at the 'Petit Coin Exotique' (little exotic corner), complete with cushions, by the pool (yes, the pool is an integral part of the décor).

    Le Pétrel de Barau

    Cognoscenti saunter here for upper-crust French-inspired fare with a creative bent, a respectable wine list and smart service. The masterfully renovated Creole house provides the perfect setting in which to sample star-worthy dishes such as beef fillet with truffle vinegar. Room should be kept for desserts.

    Le Flamboyant

    In this staunchly Creole classic, blow your tastebuds (and your arteries) with one of 15 hearty carris. Be brave and try the carri pat' cochon (pig's trotter carri). You might surprise yourself. Sample the whole thing on the terrace in the shade of a stately flamboyant tree.

    Le Carpe Diem

    Another dash of culinary flair in cosy surrounds (parquet floors and teak furniture), the Carpe Diem offers ambitious French-inspired dishes with a twist, from souris d'agneau au thym (a choice piece of lamb flavoured with thyme) to skewered duck with banana.

    La Détente

    No culinary acrobatics in this few-frills haunt overlooking a parking lot, just keep-the-faith Creole staples, including a very affordable carri bichiques (a curry made from tiny sprat-like fish; around €15) in season.

  6. Le Marin Bleu

    This immutable seafood favourite in the Terre Sainte district gets the thumbs up for its choice of fish dishes cooked to crispy perfection. The loosely nautical décor, with a blue-and-white colour scheme, matches the menu.

    L'Utopia

    Good atmosphere and affordable prices were let down by some sketchy service and skimpy daily specials when we visited L'Utopia. Chef's day off perhaps? You be the judge.
