Le Zagaya — Restaurant in Pointe-à-Pitre

Le Zagaya, located in Saint-François, is a high-quality restaurant offering unique and imaginative dishes, beautifully presented. The menu and drinks are identical to those at its sister restaurant, Koté Sud, featuring fresh, in-house preparations with an emphasis on seafood. The friendly and attentive staff contribute to an excellent dining experience. The wine list is impressive, complementing the culinary offerings.

During our visit, we started with the “Eggs Parfait,” an intriguing appetizer featuring an egg with ricotta cheese and fresh mint topping. While the dish was well-executed, personal preferences—such as a dislike for cold, runny eggs or mint—may affect enjoyment.

Le Zagaya’s consistent quality across its locations makes it a reliable choice for those seeking fresh, creative cuisine in Guadeloupe. However, if you’ve recently dined at Koté Sud, you might find the experience quite similar. Nonetheless, the exceptional service and delightful dishes make Le Zagaya a restaurant...

In such a case, you offer at least a coffee for free, you don’t laugh about the fact that the client had to order a French frize portion not to starve after paying Parisian prices for some fancy wanna be food. Much better the restaurant which is located next to this fancy-trashy restaurant. I totally recommend Rhu-marin.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a stunning atmosphere—it’s a real treat for the eyes! We tried a variety of dishes during our visit. The tagliatelle langoustine was flavorful, though there were a few shells in the dish, so just a heads-up to be cautious.

We also ordered the planchette Saint Françoise and accras de morue, which were both delicious. The rest of the items on the platter had a smoky flavor, so they tasted quite similar to one another. The langoustine roll was a highlight—a generous portion paired with perfectly crispy, flavorful fries.

Overall, the presentation and ambiance were fantastic. A little extra seasoning on some dishes would make the experience even better, but it’s definitely...
