Chez Robert et Solange

Top choice in Rodrigues


This place is the essence of Rodrigues: fresh fish cooked in simple surroundings by the sea. It's 100m through the trees from the beach and with expertly cooked food. When you sit down, you'll be offered whatever it has (usually grilled chicken, grilled fish and octopus and papaya salads).

If you're going to splurge on lobster, do it here (around Rs 1500 per kilogram) if it has it.
