Events, festivals, artistic installations, screenings… Quartier des Spectacles is known as the cultural heart of the city and is always hosting full of activities throughout the year. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the streets have been turned into a playground where many families were able to have fun and explore different worlds of culture while respecting social distancing. This is a place where one can easily get lost for a full day, in case of course, they have plenty of food options to enjoy, preferably under the sun.

Diner
Kamúy
After cultural exploration, culinary exploration. For dinner, we suggest Kamúy, Paul Toussaint’s new pan-Caribbean restaurant. Kamúy, which means sun in Taino, combines the flavors, spices and colorful creations of Caribbean food with gourmet French cuisine. It is a community concept, created by the people, for the people, celebrating all the goodness the islands have to offer. It’s the perfect place to end your day in a festive atmosphere.

Dessert
Chocolats Favoris
No need to be hungry to make one last stop at Chocolats Favoris. Take advantage of their summer menu to end the evening with a frozen dessert in hand. Do not miss: the ice cream kooky cookie, the homemade sorbets and the 12 flavors of real chocolate in which you can dip your ice cream cone. The biggest challenge: to pin down one item from their long list of guilty pleasures.
