Le Colombo

Le Colombo is a seafood restaurant on the Saint-François beachfront that serves traditional grilled meat and Creole cooking alongside fresh catches. The place has both covered and open-air seating areas where you can watch the waterfront while eating.

The restaurant was founded in 1974 and is still run today by Rudy, the founder's son, who maintains the cooking techniques and family recipes passed down to him. His father's approach to preparing food continues to shape how the kitchen operates.

The kitchen draws on regional recipes and cooking techniques passed down through the family, creating dishes that taste like home cooking in Guadeloupe. You can see locals eating alongside visitors, all enjoying the same Creole flavors that define how people here eat together.

The restaurant sits right on the water, making it easy to find and reach from town. It works well for dining with family or friends, particularly if you enjoy grilled seafood and want a relaxed beachside setting.

Guests can pick their lobster directly from a tank before it gets grilled over a campêche wood fire. The open flames and this particular wood impart a flavor that you won't find prepared the same way anywhere else.
