Chez Marston Restaurant — Restaurant in La Digue

The food was alright (3/5 stars) but the service is abysmal. We were the only people in the restaurant and we asked for how long it'll take to make the pizza and a lentil soup, but the waiters response was pretty rude (he started talking about how he can only give an estimate and it could be 30 minutes, more, or less and he can't know for sure and that we have to wait). It's crazy there's a 30 minute wait since we were the ONLY people in the restaurant. I can't imagine how long the wait would be if the restaurant was full!

The lentil soup was ok... it was served a bit bland so we needed to add a lot of salt and pepper and it was fine after that. The pizza was.... interesting. I've never had pizza like this - the crust tested "floury" but it also didn't seem fresh (I think they used a premade crust and re-floured the bottom before throwing it in the oven). The crust seemed very undercooked and the sauce seemed to be ketchup.

Overall the food is ok, and considering this is a remote island and fresh ingredients are not readily available I can't complain too much about the food... but the service was atrocious.

After 30 minutes we got a new waitress (an African lady) and she was much better...

Average restaurant with some quality of food, a typical tourist spot on the main "road" where always someone will pass by which is our case as well... We ordered two fish soups and after that I ordered whole fish on creole traditional way and my wife ordered pizza with some shrimp and garlic, because we saw pizza oven behind (I told her don't take a risk) 😅. My fish was tasty I cannot say but pizza was something else which may remind me on the pizza, dough was like a kreker and on the top I'm not joking half kg of cheese (one slice is enough you will be full). On the end we came out from the restaurant with full stomach but come on this is a joke! There are so many better places don't waste your time and...

We have seen the bad commends and decided to go independent of the rating for a short lunch.

Because of some comments we decided for a chicken curry, a chicken salad and a mixed salad.

The service was ok. Nothing to complain nothing to remember. The food was very positive surprise. The salads well arranged, super fresh and good taste also the one with the chicken. The curry was really nice how you would expect in such a region. Well balanced spices and tender chicken. Some potato’s completed the nice curry sauce experience. Definitely worth to try.

The Ambiente is ok. But not exciting. But for a lunch break I could definitely recommend the place. But maybe don’t order burgers or other non...
