Chez Dolmare

Pointe-à-Pitre


You'll find the best seafood in town here, and it's no wonder – this unpretentious place is located at the small fishing harbor of Lauricisque, northwest of Pointe-à-Pitre's center. The menu is limited to a couple of daily specials, but they’re well prepared and relatively good value for expensive Guadeloupe. Service can be both indifferent and slow, however, so plan accordingly.
