As early as the 1850s, two buildings marked the entrance to Saint-Denis, serving as key gateways between the island and the world. Among them, the former Customs House, located across from Barachois, is now home to our brasserie.
Once a private residence, then a place of passage and gathering, the building has stood the test of time, remaining a familiar landmark for the people of Saint-Denis. Now a brasserie in the heart of downtown Saint-Denis, it continues to welcome travelers, neighborhood regulars, and curious visitors alike, in a place where the stories of yesterday meet those of today.

The LeonGuide podcast takes you on a tour of our brewery, the iconic building, and the stories that have shaped this downtown landmark.
An aviation pioneer and native of Réunion, Roland Garros embodies boldness and an openness to the world. In 1913, he became the first aviator to cross the Mediterranean Sea nonstop, connecting two shores that seemed worlds apart. This feat still resonates today as an invitation to push beyond the horizon.
Under the watchful eye of the statue of Roland Garros, the brasserie, in turn, serves as a bridge between two worlds: French tradition and Creole tradition.
The decor also pays homage to the aviator: vintage frames, photographs, and nods to aviation history immerse visitors in the world of Roland Garros, like a stopover between memory and travel.
To bear the name of Roland Garros is to carry on the spirit of the pioneers: courage, daring, and openness to the world.
