L'Instant Plaisirs
About
In Réunion, L'Instant Plaisirs is a restaurant set within the mountain town of Cilaos, at 28 Rue du Pere Boiteau. The kitchen serves diners on most days, opening Monday through Thursday from 12:00 to 20:00, with Tuesday off, and welcoming guests Friday to Sunday from 12:00 to 20:30. Its 4.5 out of 5 average, drawn from 533 reviews, reflects a steady following among locals and travellers exploring the island's interior. Cilaos sits among the nearby places that frame this part of Réunion, alongside Saint-Denis, Saint-Pierre and Le Tampon.
First-time visitors can expect a relaxed midday-to-evening rhythm, with the Tuesday closure worth noting before planning a trip. The restaurant's reputation rests on that strong review record, which places it among the better-regarded addresses in the Cilaos area. Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, Saint-Paul, Sainte-Marie and Saint-Leu are also within the island's network of towns. Réunion's airport lies in the north, and a coastal road runs much of the way round, making the interior reachable from the main arrival point.
Rainfall varies sharply across Réunion, with the windward east coast far wetter than the sheltered west, so conditions in Cilaos can differ noticeably from the coast. Humpback whales visit the island's waters between June and September, alongside dolphins and sea turtles, giving visitors a seasonal reason to spend time near the shore.
