Bar Restaurant L'o De Source 974

It had been a while since we had not returned, and so we had all the more fun, always a very nice, warm address, where we made a great trip to the Meeting with an explosion of flavors, all with always friendly and welcoming hosts. It won't take long to come back. The whole thing is bathed in super rum, of course.

Despite opening hours on the site announcing an opening from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., we were turned away at 1:30 p.m. on a Friday lunchtime when only one table was occupied no problem, we were greeted with a smile a little further on.

We discovered this service provider in 2019, during the Cournon fair and, fans of Reunionese cuisine, we wanted to test it as a restaurant. Since then, COVID and its restrictions have been there. Also, this restaurant is only open in winter. The other 3 seasons, he migrates to Saint-Remy-sur-Durolle where the services are more like a summer snack. Finally, we finally managed to book. The room is small, friendly and very typical of Reunion Island. The manager, waiter, boss, former French soldier in Madagascar in the end we don 't really know anymore presents us with the dishes and wines on the menu. A bit expensive for the place! Our choices are a plate of starters to share €24 : the word sharing needs to be reviewed, everything comes in pairs except for 1 single Creole pudding which sits in the center of the plate; given the price there could have been 2. Then a sausage rougail for me and a chicken carry for Madame: concerning the rougail, 2 kinds of sausages, 1 smoked logical for a rougail , the other ordinary and much less tasty with seeds and rice as an accompaniment 24€ . For the carry, sorry but the chicken was NOT COOKED 22€ . The price of the wines available is exorbitant, between €30 and €50 for metro wines Côte de Blaye or Pic-Saint-Loup . Cilaos wine is no longer available... In the end, despite the vanilla rum offered, this restaurant, which is very, very far from being a 2*, does not deserve its reputation. Having known Reunion Island very widely, he is not representative of it. We came, we saw and tasted but we are not fully satisfied. The service provided for a total bill of €115 is not justified. Too bad it was a rare restaurant in this specialty in the area.

Atypical restaurant that takes us on a journey with all its flavors, a very nice and welcoming boss and a very kind and generous cook : thank you for this great time and these wonderful arranged rums! See you soon !

Perfect, super well received And we travel on the plate
