Welcome to La Maniocrie De Germaine

“ I had a cassava for the first time and it was delicious. I didn't knew it can be so fulfilling. It's one of the best and most authentic local culinary experiences you can get. ”

“ This was a real hidden gem, especially for those of us who are gluten-free. Manioc, or cassava can be used to make a gluten-free flour for a number of food items. We tried their accras, (normally made with wheat flour) and their sausage crepe and fish crepe. Everything was delicious. The accras were outstanding. The service was friendly and personal and it felt very comfortable to be there. Would love to come back. ”

“ Germaine's Cassava Mill: A Journey to the Heart of Amerindian Craftsmanship If you want to discover an authentic and delicious aspect of Guadeloupean culture, Germaine's Cassava Mill is a must-see. Here, they perpetuate the traditional processing of cassava, a legacy of the island's first inhabitants (the Arawaks and the Caribs). It's a rare human and culinary experience. Highlights: The Live Demonstration: The highlight is witnessing the transformation process: from grating the cassava root to pressing it in the "couleuvre" (a traditional basket) to extract the toxic juice. Watching the cassava flour take shape on the large hot plate is captivating. The Famous "Cassav Crepes": You can't leave without trying their warm cassava crepes. They are filled according to your preferences: coconut, guava jam, banana, or even a savory version (cod, ham). The texture is unique, both firm and melt-in-your-mouth. The authenticity of the place: This isn't a sterile museum. It's a family farm where you can feel the passion and respect for tradition. The welcome is often warm and the explanations are clear. Products: You can buy fresh cassava flour, moussache (cassava starch), or artisanal biscuits on site, perfect for taking home an original souvenir. Things to know: The wait: Since the cassava cakes are prepared fresh right in front of you, there may be a short queue, especially on weekends or when groups are coming. But the aroma makes the wait bearable! The heat: Near the hotplate (the large griddle), it gets very hot. Bring plenty of water. Access: The cassava processing plant is located in the hills above Capesterre. The road is beautiful but winding. My tips for your visit: The "Coco" Cassava Cake: This is a favorite among visitors. The combination of warm cassava and sweetened grated coconut is a pure delight. Observe the technique: Take the time to watch how they spread the flour to form the flatbread without any binders (no eggs or milk). It's an impressive technical skill. The timing: Ideal for an afternoon snack after a hike to the Carbet Falls, which are located in the same area. Storage: If you're buying some for later, be aware that cassava bread keeps well but tends to harden. A quick toast in the toaster or a pan will restore its softness. In short: It's an authentic experience. You come for the delicious treat, but you leave with a history lesson about the resilience and ingenuity of our ancestors. A must-try for any foodie traveling in Guadeloupe. ”

“ A little out of the way, but the staff were incredibly attentive, the dishes were original and delicious for a quick meal – excellent. The punches and accras were also a treat. If you're in the area, a stop is a must ”

“ Fish burger, sweet and savory cassava bread, homemade juices, and cakes—we tasted, sampled, and enjoyed everything! My favorites: chocolate ginger cassava bread, bougainvillea juice, coconut cake, and chicken cassava bread. The welcome is warm and friendly; a must-try! ”
