La Payotte, Seafood restaurant in La Désirade, France.
La Payotte stands on Plage à Fifi as a traditional Creole hut painted in bright yellow and blue colors, providing direct sea views through large windows and natural ventilation from ocean breezes.
Established several decades ago by a local family passionate about fishing and gastronomy, this establishment has evolved into a recognized culinary reference point on La Désirade island over the years.
The restaurant serves authentic Creole cuisine that blends African, French, and Indian influences through traditional recipes adapted by local chefs who emphasize fresh local ingredients and time-honored cooking methods.
Operating daily with seasonal schedule variations from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on most days and evening hours on weekends, advance reservations are strongly recommended during peak tourist seasons.
