La planque
About

This restaurant serves diners in the island's western coastal commune, where the surrounding landscape rises steeply from the shore. It is a restaurant, and that is the role it fills on this stretch of the island.
Visitors know La planque for its kitchen and the steady service that has built its local following. First-time diners should expect a straightforward restaurant setting rather than anything grander, with the focus on the meal itself. A rating of 4.9 out of 5, gathered from 48 reviews, places it among the higher-scoring restaurants in the area. Saint-Paul lies within reach along the coastal road, so a detour is easy to arrange.
La Possession sits on the western side of Réunion, where the weather stays drier than the windward coast. The island has no railway, so getting around means driving or taking buses on the coastal roads. Cari, a curry of meat, fish or vegetables served with rice and rougail, is the staple dish to seek out while travelling here. Cyclone season runs from November to April, so visitors often plan trips outside that window.
