Top choice in Cap Malheureux


Everyone adores this friendly joint tucked behind Cape Malheureux township near the sugar cane farms. The writing's on the wall (literally): contented customers have left myriad messages of love and affection on every flat surface in the restaurant. The tables, however, are graffiti-free – they're reserved for the excellent seafood specialities.

Side note: the letters in the restaurant's name are the first initials of the owner (sadly now deceased) and his four sons. Ironically, the owner didn't speak a lick of Spanish. Delivery available.
