Le Café-hier
About
On Réunion, Le Café-hier sits in the hills of Saint-Leu, at 12 Sent. Roullin, Saint-Leu 97416, Reunión. Diners who have eaten here have given it a 4 out of 5 average across 12 reviews, a small but steady vote of confidence.
First-time visitors can expect a restaurant that keeps things simple and consistent, with the kind of cooking that earns repeat custom rather than hype. Saint-Leu sits on the sheltered west coast, with Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Saint-Pierre both within easy driving distance along the coastal road. Saint-Paul, Sainte-Marie and Le Tampon are also reachable, making the venue a straightforward stop on a loop around the island's western and southern towns.
Humpback whales pass through Réunion's waters between June and September, and dolphins and sea turtles are seen around the island too.
Rainfall on Réunion varies sharply: the windward east coast is far wetter than the sheltered west, so days in Saint-Leu are often drier than the island's interior. The island's population descends from African, Indian, European and Chinese settlers, and each December the abolition of slavery is marked here. Piton de la Fournaise erupts often and ranks among the world's most active volcanoes, a reminder of the island's volcanic origins.
