Ancre Terre Et Mer

If I hadn't been so hungry after hiking in the mountains, I wouldn't have eaten it. The so-called "fresh" fish was tough, and the risotto had no flavor at all. It was edible, but definitely not worth the money. Just bad food disguised with "creative" plating.

Disappointing experience… Upon our arrival on the first night in La Réunion, we were recommended Ancre, Terre er Mer restaurant renowned to be very good one in St Pierre. After a correct welcoming and an amuse-gueule to start, things started to deteriorate with the starters. We ordered 3 different dishes to share: tasteless, bland where you had to add lemon, chili, salt or pepper to get some taste. The worst were the prawns prepared the Creole way; they simply gave the pure impression they had been heated again and served. As for what was labeled as “ greek salad”, it was anything but a greek salad usually served with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and feta cheese. We got instead some yoghurt with diced cucumbers in it. It would be more judicious to mame Tzatziki instead. One of the specialties of the restaurant is the risotto. We all agreed the restaurant would not fail here. I ordered mi-cuit tuna with risotto; the fish was Ok. The risotto was simply terrible, looking and tasting much more like a solid mass of sticky concrete. A real disappointment for a restaurant dedicating a special menu just for risotto. For the experience we had, the check was also high and beyond the expectations of the dinner served. No problm fir paying high prices if one gets a nice experience in return Disappointing…

One of the best meals we had on the island. Very friendly and strived staff. We tested both appetizers and both starters and took the wonderful seafruit-risotto and beef tatare. All was delicious and very well prepared. The glas of champagne was fresh and the winelist nice

Good but not great - had the seafood risotto, which did not have much seafood in it. And the moelleux au chocolat was not as hot or molten as it should have been - however the ice cream and entire dish was very tasty. So overall, close but not quite there for the price charged.

More like 2.5 stars.. It's just OK. Lamb was dry (and you need a torch to see it was as it's that dark). Main issue is rushed service. Staff tried to take our starters from us twice before we had finished. Main arrived 30 seconds after the starters had gone. This could point to the bad food as it was already cooked ( or it came from a microwave). We won't go again.

Best meal ever. Highly recommend

Amazing seafood, best tataki I've eaten in La Réunion. :)

Great original food
