Le Balcon
About
Le Balcon in Réunion sits at 122 Avenue du Général de Gaulle in Saint-Gilles-Les-Bains 97434, on the island's sheltered western coast. The venue operates as a restaurant, drawing custom from one of the recognised towns listed among the island's settlements.
Rainfall on Réunion varies sharply, with the windward east coast far wetter than the sheltered west, so Saint-Gilles-Les-Bains sits in the drier coastal band. The restaurant is known for its position in a western seaside town. First-time visitors should expect a setting shaped by that coastal location, with the venue rated 3.8 out of 5 from 87 reviews. Reaching Saint-Gilles-Les-Bains from other towns is by car or bus, since the island has no railway and travel runs on coastal roads.
Cyclone season from November to April is worth noting when planning a visit. Réunion uses the euro, so travellers arriving from elsewhere in the eurozone need no currency exchange.
Saint-Paul and Saint-Leu lie within easy reach of the western coast, giving diners at Le Balcon a wider choice of nearby towns to explore. The island's mountainous interior, where the Piton des Neiges rises above 3,000 metres, sits inland from this coastal strip. A meal here fits naturally into a day spent moving between the western settlements.
