cuisine réunionnaise

If you feel like having some reunionan (made up this word) food, I mean, food from l'Ile de la Réunion, there is a restaurant in Toulouse : Les Mascareignes.

The owners are family with one of my collegue and she is the sister from the singer of Emile and Image, a famous french music band from the 80's. The restaurant have been visited by several famous people. You can see pictures from their evening in the restaurant on one wall. For example, there is one with JJ Goldman. So, if you're lucky, you might have dinner with several celebrities.
Anyway, the food is fairly good and it really reminds us of our wonderful honeymoon on the island. I would recommend you try the Planteur as apetizer, samoussas, vanilla gambas, banana-tatin-pie, and definitely their banana-rhum as a digestif ! This is a must-try !

Feel hungry now ? ;-)
