Chez Luçay
Chez Lucay
A popular Creole restaurant in Cilaos, famous for its local lentils, smoked meats, and vanilla chicken served in hearty portions.
Located near the craft center on Rue Père Boiteau in the town center of Cilaos, this popular spot was awarded the Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice in 2026. The signature dish is smoked meat paired with Cilaos lentils, while the vanilla chicken also receives high praise, both of which can be paired with local wine. Note that choosing local Cilaos lentils incurs an extra charge, and vegetarian mains are limited. Due to its popularity, booking a table in advance is highly recommended. Closed on Mondays; some sources indicate no dinner service on Wednesdays.
