Why Travelers Love A l'Heure
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
They serve sandwiches, paninis, and burgers but if you want a main meal they do that too. Just be prepared to hang out for about 45 min before the food comes out. FOOD IS WORTH THE WAIT. we had the specials of the day: veal, raw tuna, shrimp, calamari, moon fish, grilled tuna, cole slaw, papaya salad and fried rice. Delicious !!! The fish was super fresh, had zero fishy taste. Everything was scrumptious!!! Great vibe. Loved the staff. Wow!!!! Simply amazing food. We had the fish special (grilled fish in lemon sauce) and also the mi-cuit “half-cooked” fish (tuna). Both the main meals and the side dishes were incredibly tasty and plentiful (even the rice was special). The only downside was the wait time. It was busy when we arrived, so we knew to expect a delay. Drinks came fast but food took around an hour. There was a live singer performing which meant the wait didn’t feel long. If you’re in no rush, enjoy the atmosphere and get ready for some superb food - it really is worth any wait. Food was good, a little bit of a wait but good. It does get hot over there and no fans so the flys tend to take over. We got the Australian chicken sandwich and the fish sandwich, with was a tuna steak for the day. Both were decent

This lunch spot was delicious! I got the ham & cheese baguette and my husband got the grilled fish baguette, both were served with fries. I recommend getting the house orange smoothie & house lemonade. They were both refreshing! We got there around 11:45am and ordered immediately. It did take about an hour to get our food—but we were on island time! Don’t be in a rush, enjoy the time.

Highly recommend. I had the chicken panini and it was awesome. The husband and wife that own this are very kind, and they do speak English too if you don’t speak French. The sandwhiches are large but portable to take with you as you walk, but there is also seating available for dine in. There are vegetarian options also.
