(Translated by Google) Restaurant that doesn't look like much in the middle of the Hyper U shopping mall. All the cuisine is homemade, on site and fresh. We ate well there, the service was good and the atmosphere was okay.
(Original)
Restaurant qui ne paie pas de mine au millieu de la galerie marchande du Hyper U. Tout la cuisine est faite maison, sur place et frais. Nous y avons bien mangé, le service était bon et l'ambiance correct.
(Translated by Google) This restaurant has been tempting me for a while, it's nice, but I didn't particularly like the dishes. My friend liked it, so it's a question of taste!
(Original)
Ce restaurant me tentait depuis un moment, c'est sympa, mais je n'ai pas particulièrement accroché aux plats. Mon ami a bien aimé, donc c'est une question de goût !
(Translated by Google) An excellent, very friendly address and melting and tasty cuisine. I ate superbly well
(Original)
Une excellente adresse fort sympathique et une cuisine fondante et goûteuse. J'ai superbement bien mangé
(Translated by Google) Great place for lunch, I'm never disappointed, the dishes are very good, local products are also highlighted, it's faultless from starter to dessert (even the bread is excellent).
The quality of the products and the warm welcome make us completely forget the fact of being in a shopping mall (positive point, the place is quiet and air-conditioned).
We arrived at midday and were served quickly. The restaurant also offers homemade products for sale to take away.
I can only recommend this high quality restaurant on Cayenne.
(Original)
Super adresse pour déjeuner, je ne suis jamais déçue, les plats sont très bons, les produits locaux sont également mis en avant , c'est un sans faute de l'entrée jusqu'au dessert ( même le pain est excellent).
La qualité des produits et l'acceuil chaleureux nous fait carrément oublier le fait d'être dans une galerie commerciale ( point positif, le lieu est calme et climatisé).
Nous sommes arrivés à midi et nous avons été servis rapidement. Le restaurant propose également à la vente des produits faits maison à emporter.
Je ne peux que recommander ce restaurant de grande qualité sur Cayenne.
(Translated by Google) We went to eat for the first time based on the reviews we read on Google. We were disappointed with our dishes. My husband had the salad of the day which had no taste and as for me I had the duck breast which was much overcooked served with vegetable puree which was too salty. We found it to be really expensive for what it is.
(Original)
Nous sommes allés manger pour une première fois par rapport aux avis lu sur Google. Nous avons été déçu par nos plats. Mon mari a pris la salade du jour qui n’avait aucun goût et quant à moi j’avais pris le magret de canard qui était beaucoup trop cuite servi avec de la purée de légumes trop salé. Nous avons trouvé que c’était vraiment cher pour ce que c’est.
(Translated by Google) It was SUPER GOOD. I recommend the 7am lamb and the Liège mousse. Very nice welcome!
(Original)
C'était SUPER BON. Je conseille l'agneau de 7h et la mousse liégeoise. Accueil très sympa!
(Translated by Google) A great discovery in Guyana!! Impeccable service, delicious and hearty meal! Congratulations to the chef, we will come back with pleasure

Brasserie Guyanaise
Brewery
Food & Drink
(Translated by Google) We visited the brewery quite by chance and if you're in doubt, go ahead, you won't be disappointed. We welcome you out of the sun to tell you the history of the brewery, then visit the facilities and finally the tasting! And the tasting was quite a surprise for us (for the owner of the place, keep adding little squares of chocolate to the tasting, it's a killer). And you will inevitably end up stopping by the store to bring back a little something. In short, personally I loved it and I strongly recommend this visit. A beautiful project born in Guyana not so long ago, congratulations to the owner and his team.
(Original)
Nous avons visité la brasserie un peu par hasard et si jamais vous hésitez et bien allez-y, vous ne serez pas déçu. On vous accueille à l'abri du soleil pour vous raconter l'histoire de la brasserie, ensuite visite des installations et enfin la dégustation! Et la dégustation a été pour nous une sacrée surprise (pour le propriétaire des lieux, continuez à mettre des petits carrés de chocolat à la dégustation c'est une tuerie). Et vous terminerez forcément par passer par la boutique pour ramener un petit quelque chose. Bref personnellement j'ai adoré et je conseil fortement cette visite. Un beau projet né en Guyane il n'y a pas si longtemps, bravo au propriétaire et à son équipe.

(Translated by Google) Good time of discovery and sharing. The beers at the top. The delicious plancha, with the good taste of local Guyanese products.
To do again.
And we did it again. Superb atmosphere, thank you to the whole young team.
A shop where you can treat yourself and your friends and family...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
(Original)
Bon moment de découverte et de partage . Les bières au top . La plancha délicieuse , au bon goût des produits du terroir guyanais.
A refaire.
Et on l'a refait. Superbe ambiance, merci à toute l'équipe de jeune gueule.
Une boutique où se faire plaisirs et faire plaisirs a ses amis, sa famille ...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very nice educational tour of this microbrewery founded in 2011 here in French Guiana. First of all, the surroundings are lovely where lies an outdoor bar area where you can sit, relax drink beer obviously and also eat delicious charcuterie. The tour begins with a 45 minute presentation given by the CEO and founder himself about the history of the microbrewery. Very down to earth and interesting story and photos were present with humor and enthusiasm. Then the factory tour begins where you go through every step in the making of craft beer. The tour lasts a little over an hour and is presented by a professional tour guide who has plenty of interesting facts to share. Finally, the best part, you taste a sample of 4 of their best beers with additional facts and descriptions. These beers are actually very good and have distinctive local flavors. There is a beautiful souvenir shop not to miss. This makes for a very pleasant educational activity not to miss if you are in the area. The cost is 8€ per person.
(Translated by Google) The visit to the brewery is very interesting, again the charcuterie boards are very generous. A great time had, thank you👍😊
(Original)
La visite de la brasserie est très intéressante, nouveau les planches charcuteries très généreuses. Un très bon moment passé merci👍😊
(Translated by Google) A top visit to a craft brewery in Guyana! One of the only ones where the quality of the beers is much better than those of the big industry! Thank you to the two people who welcomed us despite our slight delay! Treat yourself ;)
(Original)
Une visite au top d'une brasserie artisanale en Guyane ! L'une des seules où la qualité des bières est bien meilleures que celles de la grande industrie ! Merci aux deux personnes nous ayant accueillit malgré notre léger retard ! Faites vous plaisir ;)
(Translated by Google) Very nice visit carried out in a friendly and informative manner. Tasting of very good quality products. Thanks to the whole team
(Original)
Très belle visite effectuée de façon conviviale et instructive. Dégustation de produits de très bonne qualité. Merci à toute l'équipe
(Translated by Google) The tasting was very pleasant, and the visit would have been just as pleasant if our guide had not punctuated his entire story with Christianophobic and anticlerical remarks which are in addition historical errors. Really a shame because this brewery is a real asset for Guyana. The beers are good, original and cover a range of varied tastes!
(Original)
La dégustation était très sympathique, et la visite l'eût été tout autant si notre guide n'avait pas ponctué l'ensemble de son récit de remarques christianophobes et anticléricales qui sont en plus des erreurs historiques. Vraiment dommage car cette brasserie est un vrai atout pour la Guyane. Les bières sont bonnes, originales et couvrent un panel de goûts variés !
(Translated by Google) Excellent visit and discussions led by the Brewer and our guide within the brewery
I strongly advise you to go there and return.
(Original)
Excellente visite et disputes menés par le Brasseur et notre guide au sein de la brasserie
Je vous conseille vivement d’y aller et d’y retourner.

Très beau village ayant gardé son authenticité
Eric G — Google review
(Translated by Google) Small church of Saint-Dominique de Roura which is located on the banks of the Oyak river. The church built in the 17th century by Jesuits is no longer in very good condition: there are cracks, the paint is peeling all over the building, the interior is in poor condition despite a plaque on which is registered “maintained by French Heritage”. I am afraid that the church is like the village of Roura, which falls into disuse day after day due to the non-maintenance of the buildings.
However, the church fits perfectly into the landscape. It’s worth seeing if you’re in the area.
(Original)
Petite église Saint-Dominique de Roura qui se situe aux abords de la rivière Oyak. L’église construite au 17ème siècle par des Jésuites n’est plus en très bon état : on constate des fissures, la peinture s’écaille sur l’ensemble de l’édifice, l’intérieur est en piteux état malgré une plaque sur laquelle est inscrite « entretenu par patrimoine de France ». J’ai bien peur que l’église soit à l’image du village de Roura, qui tombe jour après jour en désuétude par le non-entretient des bâtiments.
Cependant l’église s’inscrit parfaitement dans le paysage. C’est à voir si vous êtes dans le coin.
(Translated by Google) Magnificent church in a heavenly setting!
(Original)
Magnifique église dans un cadre paradisiaque !
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful monument, a firm shame. For the urbexers from where I took the photo, old business on 3 floors to visit.
(Original)
Très beau monument dommage ferme. Pour les urbexeur de là où j’ai prit la photo, ancien commerce sur 3 étage à visiter.
(Translated by Google) Church closed, shame
(Original)
Église fermée, dommage
(Translated by Google) I only went there once. Charming little church, almost family-friendly. Beautifully decorated interior. The liturgy is enhanced by the men’s choir. The priest is very pleasant and above all very smiling.
(Original)
J'y suis allée qu'une seule fois. Charmante petite église, presque familiale. Intérieur magnifiquement décoré. La liturgie est sublimée par la choral des hommes. Le curé est très agréable et surtout très souriant.
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful building seen from the outside, too bad the interior was closed. Very disappointed, we were reprimanded because we rang the bells, accessible from the outside and without a sign prohibiting their use. Very bitter neighborhood
(Original)
Très beau bâtiment vu de l'extérieur, dommage l'intérieur était fermé. Très déçu, nous nous sommes fait réprimander car nous avons sonné les cloches, accessible de l'extérieur et sans panneau interdisant de les utiliser. Voisinage très aigrie
(Translated by Google) Very pleasant place, on the banks of the river, pretty church in the middle of traditional Creole houses

Lieu très agréable, au bord du fleuve, jolie église au milieu de maisons créoles traditionnelles

Cacao
Mentioned on
Neighborhoods
Cacao is a village located in French Guiana, situated along the Comté river. The majority of its inhabitants are Hmong farmers who sought refuge from Laos and were resettled there in 1977. The village offers a unique blend of Laotian culture within the South American and European Union setting, making it an intriguing destination for visitors. Strolling through the vibrant weekend market filled with tropical fruits and spices, one can experience the distinct charm of this countryside town.

Marcos B — Google review
(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed getting to know the municipality of Oiapoque. It is very interesting as it has an ancient history from the indigenous time, although it is already growing a lot, but this way you can see the prominence that this small place shows and represents many things for several lands since it has disappeared a lot due to the city's measures, especially in the indigenous lands, which are more affected by these evolutions of the city. It is more interesting that you continued with the culture. I found it interesting. One day I will visit there. I really liked it 🥰🥰
(Original)
Gostei muito de conhecer município de Oiapoque ele é bem interessante quanto é uma história antiga do tempo indígena ainda que já tá subindo bastante mas assim dá para ver o destaque que esse pequeno local mostra e representar muitas coisas para várias terras já que tá sumido bastante por conta das providência da cidade principalmente na terra indígena são mais afetada com essas evolução da cidade mais interessante que vocês continuaram com a cultura achei interessante um dia eu vou visitar aí eu gostei muito 🥰🥰
(Translated by Google) Unlike museums in Brazil, the Kuahi Museum is a place cared for by the indigenous people of Oiapoque themselves. It is a fundamental space for preserving and valuing the culture, history, languages and identity of the region's native peoples. Its importance goes beyond the conservation of artifacts and memories; it represents a space of autonomy and indigenous protagonism, where the communities themselves tell their stories and present their material wealth, resisting historical processes of erasure and marginalization. Kuahi is a living place for the transmission of knowledge, beauty and creations.
(Original)
Diferentemente dos museus do Brasil, o museu Kuahi é um lugar cuidado pelos próprios indígenas do Oiapoque, é um espaço fundamental de preservação e valorização da cultura, história, línguas e identidade dos povos originários da região. Sua importância vai além da conservação de artefatos e memórias; ele representa um espaço de autonomia e protagonismo indígena, onde as próprias comunidades contam suas narrativas, apresentam suas riquezas materiais, resistindo aos processos históricos de apagamento e marginalização. O Kuahi é um local vivo de transmissão de saberes, de belezas e criações.
(Translated by Google) The Kuhaí Museum was founded after a ten-year initiative by representatives of indigenous peoples from the far north of Amapá. Its goal is to help preserve and disseminate culture and, at the same time, provide alternative sources of income for these communities through the planned marketing of artisanal products. The collection has more than 300 pieces, most of which were produced on commission by the museum together with indigenous communities, who also participate in the management of the institution. It is worth mentioning that there is a good frequency of French people coming from Cayenne - French Guyanese. I, Hudson F.S., recommend it.
(Original)
O Museu Kuhaí, foi fundado após uma iniciativa gestada ao longo de dez anos junto a representantes dos povos indígenas do extremo norte do Amapá, tem por objetivo ajudar a preservar e difundir a cultura e ao mesmo tempo possibilitar alternativas de renda a essas comunidades por meio da comercialização planejada da produção artesanal. O acervo possui mais de 300 peças, a maioria das quais produzidas por encomenda do museu junto às comunidades indígenas, que participam também da gestão da instituição.
Cabe ressaltar que há uma frequência boa de franceses vindo de Cayena - Guyanea Francesa.
Eu Hudson F.S. Recomendo.
(Translated by Google) The Kuahi Museum of Indigenous Peoples is an emblem of local culture in the municipality of Oiapoque-Ap, and is a tourist and research site. It presents several material and immaterial collections that serve to demonstrate the cultures and appreciation of the Karipuna, Palikur-Arukwayene, Galibi Marworno and Kal'ina indigenous peoples. It is rich in historical memories of some indigenous leaders who are masters of the villages.
(Original)
O museu kuahi dos povos indígenas traz uma emblema de cultura local no município de Oiapoque-Ap, é um ponto turístico e de pesquisa. Ela apresenta diversas acervos matérias e imateriais que sirvam para demostrar as culturas e valorização dos povos indígenas Karipuna, Palikur-Arukwayene, Galibi Marworno e Kal'ina. É rica de memórias históricas de alguns líderes indígenas mestres das aldeias.
(Translated by Google) Kuahi is a legitimate museum of the indigenous peoples of the region, managed by them. Unfortunately, it has been neglected by the government, which has failed to maintain its physical structure. As a result, the important artifacts of the people are under threat and they are prevented from presenting new exhibitions and from carrying out museum activities and serving the population.
(Original)
O Kuahi é um museu legítimo dos povos indígenas da região, gerido por eles . Infelizmente sofre com o abandono do governo que não fez a manutenção de sua estrutura física. Assim sendo, os importantes artefatos dos povos estão ameaçados e estes estão impedidos de apresentar novas exposições e de fazer as atividades museológicas e de atendimento a população.
(Translated by Google) The most important space for disseminating information about the culture and history of the Indigenous Peoples of Oiapoque. It will soon be reopened!
(Original)
O espaço mais importante de difusão sobre a cultura e história dos Povos Indígenas do Oiapoque. Em breve estará reinaugurado!
(Translated by Google) It is an incredible place, full of memories of the Indigenous Peoples of Oiapoque. It will soon be reopening again to the joy of everyone.
