Le Beauvallon is well known to everyone in the area, not least for its location beside the mouth of the Rivière des Roches and its seasonal, scrumptious carri bichiques (curry made with a sprat-like delicacy). On the flip side, the vast dining room doesn't contain one whit of soul or character. Also does takeaway (from €6).
