Le Quinquina
About
Le Quinquina in Réunion is a restaurant set along 65 Rte du Maido in Saint-Paul 97423, on the western side of the island. The road climbs from the coastal plain toward the highlands, and Saint-Paul sits among the nearby places that frame this part of Réunion. Le Quinquina has built a following of 275 reviews, with an average score of 4.6 out of 5. That combination of volume and consistency places it among the more established tables in the Saint-Paul area. Saint-Denis, Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, Saint-Pierre, Cilaos, Le Tampon, Sainte-Marie and Saint-Leu all lie within the island's broader geography. Réunion's interior is mountainous, and the Piton des Neiges rises above 3,000 metres, so a meal here can sit between the coast and the high peaks. Rainfall varies sharply across the island, with the windward east coast far wetter than the sheltered west, which keeps Saint-Paul's side generally drier. Humpback whales visit Réunion's waters between June and September, along with dolphins and sea turtles, giving first-time visitors a reason to time a trip around that window. The restaurant's location on the Maido route makes it a natural stop for anyone travelling between the coast and the mountains.
