How is Réunion cuisine tasted?

Reunionese cuisine, like any cuisine in the world, has its own codes. In the culinary tradition of Reunion, the aperitif or appetizers hold an important place. You can enjoy samosas, corks and chilli candies to whet your appetite.

The dishes - usually based on fish, pork, or poultry - are served with rice, grains, brèdes, or pickles. Everything gives pride of place to spices such as ginger, curry, saffron, or turmeric.

A small ritual is that the rice is placed at the bottom of the plate, that the grains are added on top and last, the main course (often a curry or a rougail) often accompanied by a spicy sauce (tomato rougail ... ).

The sweets, in the form of fried foods or floury cakes, will delight you at tea time.
