    Le Safoutier

    Head to Le Safoutier for dinner. This upscale restaurant in the Hilton Hotel serves European and local dishes.

    Panoramique bar

    Finish the night with a drink at Panoramique bar. It is a nice bar on top of the Hilton hotel where you can listen to music. Happy hour runs every afternoon, but the evening vibe is great after dinner.

Local tip

The park at saint anastasie is described as having a dirty stream and general area, so keep your expectations managed for the view. The food and drink venues are in the Hilton Hotel complex, so you can walk between them easily.

Check before you go

  • Le Safoutier and Panoramique bar are located in the Hilton Hotel. Check if you need reservations or if there is a dress code for the upscale dining.
  • Panoramique bar has a happy hour every afternoon, but confirm evening opening times as they are not explicitly listed.
