For one of the most authentic, flavorful, and memorable meals on the island, make your way to Bras-Panon and find your seat at Ferme Auberge De Eva Annibal.

This family-run spot is more than just a restaurant — it’s a social experience. Meals are served at long tables, often shared with other travelers and locals, surrounded by dozens of homemade bottles of rhum arrangé and ponche. Don’t be surprised if you leave with new friends (and maybe a few stories you can’t quite share).

The food is as generous as the hospitality. Standout dishes include:

• Gratin de chouchou (a local squash baked with cheese and spice),

• Cari d’espadon (swordfish curry),

• and the house specialty: vanilla duck, slow-cooked to rich perfection.

Desserts are no afterthought here — expect a long list of island treats like coconut flan, passionfruit parfait with vanilla sauce, and seasonal fruit coulis.

👉 Pro Tip: Call ahead — reservations are usually required, and seating is limited. Go hungry, and pace yourself through the ponche!
👉 Hidden Gem: You can also book one of the rooms they have. Like that you can properly enjoy the ponche!
