Au Coin des Bons Amis

Grande-Terre


Right on Anse Laborde beach, this place raises the bar for beach-shack cuisine. You'll be surprised that such good eats can come from such an unprepossessing place. Excellent grilled freshwater prawns and tasty catch-of-the-day grilled fish are some of the specialties on offer. It's just a pity it closes so early.
