THE BAY

World cuisine restaurant €€
4/5
1 review

This is Black River's only seaside restaurant: slightly overhanging the beach, under thatched kiosks, a few tables languish on decks bordered by a bar and swimming pool. Cool by day, soft and subdued by night. The menu exalts well-cooked products from Mauritius and beyond: tapas to share, fresh salads, Creole dishes, grills, sweet treats... Don't forget to book in advance, as the place is renowned and very busy on Fridays and Saturdays, when musicians make the dishes sing.

MAMY CHÉRIE

World cuisine restaurant €€

Held by the Italian Raffaella and her companion Roland from Rodrigues, this delicious table is an opportunity to taste fresh local products cooked in the transalpine style. No menu, it is the mamma who regales according to the inspiration and the products of the day. You can have lunch or dinner in the garden, under the varangue, in a nice atmosphere half-creole and half-champel.

The house also houses two pretty rooms decorated with antique objects, furniture made by Roland, bouquets of flowers picked in the garden... Great care given to details and warm welcome.

VANILLA CAFÉ

World cuisine restaurant

In the heart of nature, this is the most bucolic restaurant in the area: a group of small chalets opening onto a large square of greenery, where a few tables and chairs under umbrellas welcome morning snacks, lunches with friends, and snacks just off the beach. The menu echoes this simplicity, offering a choice of mixed salads, vegetarian dishes, Mauritian fare and sweet treats. On-site: lounge-library, boutiques in chic cabanas ( healthy products, groceries...), spa and guesthouse (9 rooms).

LA TABLE DU CHÂTEAU

Open - from 11h00 to 23h00

Contemporary and warm, extended by tree-shaded terraces, this is THE restaurant of the Château de Labourdonnais, one of the best in the North, whose dishes are as tasty as the setting is beautiful. We love the cuisine of Italian chef Fabio, who skilfully revisits old-fashioned recipes and products in a creative, gastro style: lobster deglazed with vanilla and flambéed with rum, 7-hour lamb with arouille purée, ravioli stuffed with tomato chutney... At lunchtime, a menu of typical Mauritian dishes cooked over a wood fire.

HAPPY RAJAH

World cuisine restaurant
4.7/5
6 reviews

It's THE benchmark for Indian restaurants in Mauritius, attracting people from all walks of life, from budget travelers to luxury hotel guests. You can enjoy top-quality dishes at low prices: an attractive equation. Indian teams specializing in 17th-century Mughal and South Indian cuisine are at work in the kitchen. High-quality dishes made partly in the traditional tandoor oven, and plates to share to taste everything. A warm setting despite the adjoining shopping area.

CHEZ TANTE ATHALIE

World cuisine restaurant

This typical 100% Creole table is set in a hangar: a few wooden tables and benches, a grandmother's pantry, black and white photos and, parked in the garden, some beautiful vintage cars... the tone is set! This is an authentic culinary experience, in memory of the estate's aunt, whose cooking notebooks have been found. The formula: a menu that changes daily, offering 3 dishes of local cuisine (+ a small à la carte menu) served with great kindness by Marie-Line, Robert and their team. We love it!

There is a definite dose of alchemy at this beautiful table, one of the best on the island, which pays homage to Mauritian products while sublimating them: organic fruits and vegetables from the estate, game (unforgettable braised pork and truffle sauce), venison charcuterie, etc., not to mention cocktails and desserts based on the house rums. Warm, the room opens on a courtyard with tables under gazebos. To top it all off, the prices are very reasonable considering the generosity and the quality of the dishes. Nice wine list too.

As we approach, the "wow" effect is immediate: here we are in one of the most beautiful restaurants in Mauritius. Housed in a colonial-style mansion, Château Mon Désir overlooks an impressive concentration of banyan trees and the superb renovated ruins of Balaclava. Down below, a river flows by... A la carte, it's all very tempting. On the 1st Saturday of the month, you can take a timeless break for an English-style tea ceremony, and on Sundays, you can enjoy a brunch - don't miss the "oeuf cocotte à l'huile de truffes" or the "soufflé au Grand-Marnier".

The setting is one of the most beautiful in Mauritius: a 19th century residence renovated in its original plantation style - period parquet flooring, antique furniture, fine woodwork. In the shade of an old masterly tree, the castle opens onto a French garden and distills exceptional gustatory moments. Refined and inspiring, the menu offers delicacies of Mauritian cuisine, revisited with art. Let yourself be intoxicated by the atmosphere of the terrace, the elegance of the service, the beauty of the plates, the delicacy of the dishes. A great place.

LE CAFÉ DES ARTS

The main reason for coming is the setting, even if the food is just as good: an old stone sugar mill, completely restored (Victoria 1840), where the paintings of painter Maniglier, Matisse's latest pupil, are on display. A delicious harmony, the plates are as pictorial and colorful as the paintings, and delight the taste buds as much as the pupils: foie gras pan-fried with Armagnac, grilled lobster with vanilla and basil flavors, braised palmetto, sea bream carpaccio, etc. Vegetarian and gluten-free menus available on request. Exclusive and atypical.

A beach club with bohemian chic charm, this fabulous Buddha-Bar, located on the beach of the luxury Sugar Beach hotel, conveys the DNA of the brand: hospitality, well-being, gastronomy, mixology and music. In a setting with a wide range of atmospheres, the master mixologists prepare fabulous cocktails to be enjoyed with contemporary fusion cuisine. The principle of tasting is based on sharing, echoing the festive and cool art of living conveyed by Buddha-Bar, to the rhythms of the famous signature compilations sublimated by DJs from here and elsewhere.

Named after the first juice extracted from sugar cane, this restaurant-tea room is open all day long and occupies a Creole-style house on the site of the Sugar Adventure Museum. The huge covered terrace enjoys a fresh and green setting, partly open to Mount Pieter Both. The Mauritian-inspired menu features regional gourmet cuisine and delicious desserts made from natural brown sugars - with a preference for the soft heart of dark chocolate and molasses, white chocolate and coconut truffle. Yummy!

From Cancale to Trou-aux-Biches, talented Mauritian chef Pramod Gobin cultivates the legacy of spice buccaneer Olivier Roellinger, former 3-star Michelin chef and mentor of this island institution rightly considered one of the finest restaurants on the island. The result is creative dishes with bold, bold and beautiful flavors - simply a magician's cuisine. The setting is in perfect harmony with the dishes: an elegant Creole house with its varangue overlooking the water, where Odile has always officiated with warmth and delicacy. A magical setting!

A chic bistro-style table with rough wooden furniture, a wine and tapas counter, a pretty terrace overlooking a square with a gurgling fountain. Charming and cheerful atmosphere like a table of girlfriends at lunchtime, romantic and cosy in the evening. Beautiful plates and choice of dishes on the slate according to the products of the moment and the inspiration of the French Chef Sophie who likes to draw from her travels the flavours she wishes to work on. Also a permanent menu of salads, pastas, pizzas, vegetarian dishes, desserts and some well sourced wines.

Open - from 09h00 to 16h00

Perched on its hill, the Chamarel restaurant offers one of the most beautiful gustatory settings in Mauritius, a treat for the taste buds and the pupils. From each of the decks open on the nature, the view plunges on all the southern littoral. You can savor it literally as well as figuratively because the place, in addition to its site, offers an attractive menu of local Mauritian dishes, to be discovered via the Creole Table, a menu of authentic cuisine in 3 steps. If you are on a tight schedule, drop by in the morning for a local breakfast or during the day for a drink.

In a hushed Asian-contemporary setting, this is THE gastronomic restaurant of the most chic hotel in Port Louis: a sanctuary of Asian fusion cuisine that draws its inspiration and its roots from the best recipes of Japan, China, Thailand and Vietnam. Steamed or pan-fried dim sum, soups, seafood, Peking duck, curries, vegan dishes, sweet and sour mixes...: everything is fine, tasty, exotic, refined, like the toothfish marinated in miso and sake and its early vegetables sautéed with sesame seeds. Beauty of the dishes.

Planted on the hill by the road leading to Pointe Coton and Saint-François, Basanio, named after its former chef who worked for twenty years in the luxury hotel business, is a gustatory, friendly and charming stopover; a place as warm as its sunny yellow front and the generosity of its dishes. On the slate, only fresh dishes: shrimp fritters, beef stew, crab soup... We opt for a kono-kono salad, sublime in its freshness and flavors, then for a tit carry of ourite and the house dessert: a succulent caramelized and flambéed pineapple ! Terrace.

It has long been one of the best Italian restaurants in the North of France. Renovated in 2023, the setting is contemporary and chic, while remaining friendly, and opens onto two terraces. The strong point remains the quality of the products: fresh pasta and ravioli by an Italian chef, meat from Australia, fish directly from the lagoon (since the company has its own deep-sea fishing boat), truffle dishes...

Before or after: Belle Vita, the new bar that makes evenings sparkle (dance floor on weekends and some evenings). A fine selection of cocktails.

LA COSA NOSTRA

Italian restaurant and pizzeria

It's impossible to miss the bright yellow and red of this Italian restaurant on the main road, facing the salt flats. A few tables almost on the sidewalk, a handful of others in the dining room, and the rest in the open air in a pretty interior patio. It is the Frenchman Eric who runs the place, and we don't skimp on quality: organic arugula, cold cuts imported from the Botte region, raw cheeses... Pasta and ravioli are fresh and homemade, the salads are generous and the artisanal pizzas are cooked in a state-of-the-art wood-fired oven. Yummy!

Facing the beach of Saint-François, spot a pretty hut and its terrace covered with latanier leaves, where, go and know why, one immediately wants to sit down. Don't let this impulse stop you, because there, under the straw hut, in a simple setting and a friendly atmosphere, you can enjoy delicious grilled fish fresh from the lagoon every day! To taste directly the products of its own fishing, leave in the morning with Toy, while the children will make a little diving with mask and tuba under the protective eye of the adorable Solange
