Chez Marston
This institution serves some of the best food on the island. The wide-ranging menu features salads, sandwiches, prawns, fish or crab curries, pizzas and burgers, among others. The ambience is so chilled, you could kick your feet up on the chair and pull out a novel and no one would bat an eyelid. Or you could discuss the hardships of island life with Marston, the blue-eyed owner, who is a local character.

L'Union Estate
At one time, the main industry on La Digue was coconut farming, centred on L'Union Estate coconut plantation south of La Passe. These days L'Union Estate is run as an informal 'theme park', with demonstrations of extracting oil from copra (dried coconut flesh). Also in the grounds are the Old Plantation House, a colonial-era graveyard, a boatyard and the obligatory pen of giant tortoises.

Lanbousir
This sand-floored eatery run by three affable ladies is an ideal spot for a filling lunch after (or before) working your tan at nearby Anse Source d'Argent. Start things off with smoked fish salad, move on to a meltingly tender job fillet, then finish off with a rich banana pancake. Wash it all down with a lemon juice or a chilled coconut. A tourist's life is hard, isn't it?

Loutier Coco
Feel the sand in your toes at this oasis of a place on Grand Anse beach, but be prepared to share the experience with a raft of day-trippers here to enjoy the lavish buffet at lunchtime. The spread on offer includes grilled fish, traditional Creole curries and salads, fruit and coffee.

Veuve Reserve Information Centre
La Digue is the last refuge of the black paradise flycatcher, which locals call the veuve (widow). This small forest reserve has been set aside to protect its natural habitat, but you're just as likely to see the birds elsewhere on the island. Entry to the reserve is free.

Le Pécheur
Candles, French wines and a table on a palm-ruffled beach are all you need for a romantic night out with your significant other at this attractive restaurant at La Digue Island Lodge. Diners are serenaded by a local guitarist three times a week.

Snack Bellevue
It's a hell of a hike or ride to get to this eagle's eyrie, but you'll be amply rewarded with cardiac-arresting views from the terrace. It serves up the usual suspects at very reasonable prices (not a mean feat, given the location).

Nid d'Aigle
Ready to huff and puff? Tackle Nid d'Aigle, the highest point on La Digue (333m). It commands such spectacular views of La Digue and neighbouring islands that you'll think you're watching a movie.

Zerof
Only your mum could fix a more comforting meal than you'll find at this cosy spot in a garden setting. The menu is a bargain, and the smoked fish salad truly palate-pleasing.
