The restaurants of Exsel Floralys: La Marmite & L’Oasys
La Marmite: traditional Creole classics simmered like at home

Perfect for families, groups or adventurous foodies, La Marmite is for those who want to taste everything. Are you the type to pick a little of each dish? This buffet is made for you.
