L’Hermitage – 34, bd Leconte de Lisle, 97460 Saint-Gilles
Tél : +262 262 33 31 37.
Here, there’s no need to choose: 14 steaming pots await you, cooked over a wood fire in the purest Creole tradition. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet where the local curries tell the culinary history of Réunion in their own unique way.
A friendly atmosphere, a view of the Indian Ocean, authentic recipes: at La Marmite, we share more than just a meal, we share a piece of the island.
Opening hours
Monday to Saturday for lunch from 12pm to 2pm and for dinner from 7pm to 11pm.
Sundays from 12pm to 2pm.
At the hotel itself, Le Calypso bar invites you to take a refreshing break with cocktails, snacks or aperitifs…
And for a more substantial lunch or dinner, head to two Exsel Hotels restaurants just a few steps away:
Le Grain de Sable at the Exsel Alamanda hotel, or La Marmite Saint-Gilles, facing the Hermitage lagoon.
Two styles, but the same desire to showcase Réunion – both on the plate and in the atmosphere.
BAR LE CALYPSO
Our bar, Le Calypso, is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Enjoy local cocktails, sweet treats, or savoury snacks such as samosas, wings, Creole dishes, and waffles.
