10. Le Topinambour
Reviewed By Thiry D
C'est en arpentant les rues du centre comme à l'accoutumée que mon regard s'est porté sur cette nouvelle enseigne au nom original. Après avoir trouvé quelques avis positifs sur les réseaux sociaux, je décide d'embarquer un ami dans cette découverte pour la pause du midi.Le resto se trouve dans une très ancienne bâtisse aménagée tant bien que mal pour recevoir le public. Mais faut pas regarder de trop près l'aménagement sommaire de la cuisine ouverte faite de bric et broc et ne pas être incommodé par l'affreuse odeur des égouts qui envahit la salle durant le repas. Les propositions du jour sont inscrites sur une grande Ardoise (salades composées, tartare, plat du jour ) des prix tournant dans la dizaine d'euros, ce qui est très raisonnable pour le centre.Après avoir pris nos boissons nous prenons :â Un poulet citronnelle et gratin de banane jaune à 10e pour mon ami. Il trouve l'ensemble bon.âUn Bo bun aux crevettes pour moi ( plat vietnamien ) avec vermicelle de riz, crudités et nems aux légumes... servi avec une sauce soja...Rien de transcendant mais c'est correct et copieux. Nous poursuivons avec deux desserts pâtissiers â Un pavé fraise couverture chocolat blanc, c est fin c'est bon.â Une charlotte chocolat et poire, moins appréciable car trop juste en crème.Une addition très correct de 45 euros pour deux boissons, deux plats, deux desserts.âªâªâªUne adresse qui aurait pu être intéressante si le lieu était en meilleur état et sans les remontées d'égouts qui file la nausée...dommage !
9. Gwa-Gwa Resto
Snack restaurant for the whole family. Caribbean cuisine, barbecue area, hamburgers. On site or to take away.

Gwa-Gwa Resto is a family snack restaurant. Ideally located around La Maynard corner in Chateaubeuf area. Not far from the hospital. Itâs a barbecue joint where regulars create a friendly atmosphere in the large open room. At the counter you get copious local dishes, fresh vegetables, fries. A good spot.

We had lunch and the taste was good, but not quality ingredients. You share a table in a crowded market, which may not be to your liking, but we still enjoyed it. Menu is in French, but they do have English speaking servers.

Truly Beautiful. A cool, light wood and china filled oasis in a tropical land. And the food was delicious. But a weekday lunch at Le Josephine is apparently a three hour party where almost everyone knows the hostess.I went upstairs and was seated swiftly. For the next 20 or so minutes the restaurant filled as other people entered and some of them were served drinks. Then after some unseen signal a few diners got up and started to serve themselves from the buffet and so I joined them.Laid out on the table was shrimp in spiced sauce, meat pudding sausage, plantains, carrot salad, sliced cucumbers, white fish salad, diced scotch bonnets (!), diced yam, a white grits-y thing with sliced potatoes on top, grilled okra, mild chicken soup, and slices of wonderful, crusty french bread. I didn't try the grits-y thing or the okra but everything else was staggeringly delicious. The sauce on the shrimp was heavily spiced but with just a little heat. The sausages were unlike anything I've ever eaten, loose inside with intense flavor and no heat at all. The white fish salad was spectacular and the carrot salad was tasty, cool, and refreshing.I enjoyed myself fully and after about an hour had gone by since I entered I asked for the check. And then asked again. The third time I asked I was made to understand that more courses were coming - the entrees and deserts were yet to be served. But they were kind to me, came up with a price for what apparently was just the appetizer course, and let me go my way.If you have speak french fluently and have three hours in which to relax and enjoy lunch I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. Even if you only know pidgin French, as long as you are willing to devote the time I would absolutely recommend dining here. You won't be part of the party, but you'll get to enjoy one of the best creole meals you've ever eaten.

Some people have always been very envious of the traditional - very long - French lunch break. Luckily for them is is disappearing fast. Luckily for everybody else, some places like Le Laurier still celebrate it.If you want to know what lunch was like before neo-capitalism brought the "sandwich at your computer screen" also to overseas France, cross the Boulevard du General de Gaulle - the "official" boundary of the Fort de France historic centre - and after 50 metres turn right into a very quiet side street. What you get is a relatively small restaurant in a traditional bistrot decor of small tables and mirrors (complete with some unobtrusive small screens running muted news channels).At lunch time - and actually the place is not open in the evening or on weekends - all tables are packed with office-workers, but the very welcoming staff always makes an effort to find some space for a new customer.What you eat is a traditional three-course lunch, of course preceded by an aperitif and accompanied by wine and evidently followed by coffee. The originality of Le Laurier is that it serves this traditional European French format with a Caribbean twist: the food is creole. Relatively simple dishes prepared from fresh produce (the things tourists always look for, but never find in their resort restaurants).All this for a moderate price (there are different menu options) and the satisfaction of spending an hour and a half with people who, if the new economy had already triumphed completely, would now be in their office wolfing down some generic fast-food (without a punch as an aperitif).

Martinique is expensive, restaurants, even unassuming beach huts, are very expensive. Local cuisine is mostly found in not so great touristy restaurants, where you can meet all the other people freshly off the plane or the cruiseship. And then there are some places like Chez Geneviève (central market hall of Fort-de-France, first floor, right hand side).A review of Chez Geneviève could really be very short: rum punch, starter, main course, wine, dessert, 14.50 euro, what else would one need to know? But let us be slightly less materialistic: first of all there is the atmosphere, the restaurant is on the first floor of the Fort-de-France main market where while eating one can observe people doing their daily shopping, fruit and vegetables - or all sorts of flavoured rum (and there are even some souvenir stalls).The service at Chez Geneviève is friendly and most of the time fast. However, this is not a high-end eatery, so if you are after linen tablecloths, this is the wrong place. On the other hand if you are on holiday, you might like the discount coupons on your paper place mat.While it is possible to have a main course for only 9 euro, it is really the set menu which should be recommended: punch or planters punch (or juice if you really insist), a starter, "accras" most of the time, and a main course from the board: fish, cooked or fried, octopus, chicken, accompanied by rice, red beans and various "legumes pays" (yams, bananas and such). Drinks with the main course, either wine or beer, are included and to conclude there is a choice between coffee or dessert.The menu does not vary much, but the staples are always enjoyable. I would particularly recommend the "macadam" (cod in sauce with rice) â and if this is too bland for your taste, you can always spice it up with some "piment confit".In short, there are four or five at first sight rather similar restaurants in the Fort-de-France central market, but Chez Geneviève is ahead in terms of food, service and location.

Hidden up the stairs of the unattractive shopping mall La Veranda. Fair prices, good service. Original even surprising decor, fresh and colorful, a red bus as a bar, funny lights and swings ... Cuisine is also atypical. We shared Jamaican pâté and jerk chicken, conch gratin, crayfishes, Haitian griot de porc and black rice (djon djon), fried sweet potatoes. Delicious.
