Colours and flavours of La Reunion come together at PALM Hotel & Spa, for the pleasure of your taste buds. With each changing season, Executive Chef Claude POTHIN draws inspiration from local produce and influences from near and far to create honest, flavourful cuisine that blends tradition with modernity.

Le Makassar

Originally from the south of the island, Executive Chef Claude Pothin is a true ambassador for Réunion’s local produce and culinary heritage. Shaped by the island’s cultural diversity, this rich culinary heritage offers the Makassar team a broad and complex palette of aromas, inviting you to discover or rediscover flavours from Réunion and beyond.

From Rouge-Grand-Queue caught off our shores and our island’s own caviar to toothfish from the French Southern Territories, discover exceptional ingredients that celebrate our culinary heritage, served à la carte or as part of a set menu.

Le kah

Perched atop the Piton Grande Anse overlooking the stunning Grande Anse beach, The KAH Beach & Restaurant will take you on a culinary journey trough the Indian Ocean and the island’s verdant farms. Gather with loved ones to enjoy each other’s company around craft cocktails and generous plates celebrating the exceptional terroir surrounding you. Pick the dishes tantalizing your tastebuds, choose one or a few sides following your appetite, and let our culinary team surprise you with a cuisine that encourages sharing and the discovery of new flavors.

Kokoa Bar

Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of Kokoa. Be captivated by the spectacular sight of waves breaking on Grande Anse beach as you enjoy a delicious treat or a sunset cocktail on the panoramic terrace of this welcoming gathering place. Savour fresh poolside dishes as you bask in the island’s glorious sunshine. As night falls, let the conversation flow over refined cocktails subtly inspired by local flavours.

At any time of day, KOKOA offers a peaceful setting to take in the raw beauty of your surroundings. During the austral winter, it becomes an exceptional vantage point for watching majestic whales pass through the bay.

The Makassar Lounge

To further extend your experience at Palm Hotel & Spa, we invite you to discover the Makassar Lounge. A reading space that regularly offers wine tastings and wine-pairing dinners. In a cosy atmosphere where leather armchairs are nestled beside a wooden bar and the Wine cellar of the Makassar, take a time off from the worries of the world or gather with your friends around a great vintage.

The breakfast

Every morning, our kitchen team prepares an entirely homemade buffet using fresh, high-quality local ingredients.
The sweet selection includes seasonal fruit, pastries, crêpes, pancakes, yoghurts, freshly squeezed fruit juices and hot drinks.
A savoury selection completes the experience, with eggs or omelettes cooked to order, fine charcuterie, cheeses, artisan breads and international specialities.
At Palm Hotel & Spa, the awakening of the senses begins with breakfast.

Subject to availability. Advance booking required. The breakfast buffet is reserved exclusively for hotel guests at weekends and during school holidays.

The Chef

At the helm of the kitchens at PALM Hotel & Spa, Executive Chef Claude POTHIN is passionate about local produce. Each day, he takes great pleasure bringing up to date “forgotten” fruits and vegetables. Some tasty products with unique flavours and, sometimes, surprising benefits.

A glance lasting on some details, a precise work plating each dish, a constant research for the balance of flavours; each of his creation is an ode to regional products. The spirit full of ideas, playing with sweet-salty mixtures, Claude POTHIN is on the lookout for emotions.
