La Mer Cassée

Réunion


This laid-back eatery is set in a small Creole house along the main road (not so peaceful), but there's outdoor seating across the road – a few plastic tables under the shade of vacoa trees – and great ocean views. You won't find more than three or four Creole dishes on the chalkboard, but everything is fresh and home made.
