La Playa

Top choice in Guadeloupe


Possibly the best place to eat on Marie-Galante, this well-respected restaurant occupies a cute house across the road from Petite Anse beach.᠎ The menu strays a touch from the familiar Creole path: fish tartare, skewered beef, the very exotic lobster in mango sauce, crab in coconut sauce and paella are some of the highlights, as is the impeccable service.
