The best restaurants Belle Mare Et Palmar

"A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine" said the gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. The Constance Belle Mare Plage gourmet restaurant, with its exceptional cellar of 30,000 bottles from over 2,500 vineyards around the world, sublimates the adage, and offers guests the chance to create a 3-course menu based on the wines chosen (not the other way around). The Autour du vin concept begins with the in-house sommeliers, and continues with a gourmet dinner in the elegant, warm, cellar-like dining room. A moment of grace.

Like its neighbor l'Empereur, this other restaurant on the eastern coastal road, popular with Mauritians and tourists alike, offers the usual panoply of Creole, Indian and Chinese dishes... in short, a bit of everything: soups, fritters, kebabs, tikka, tandoori, curries, vegetarian dishes, etc., as well as a few seafood specialties. The setting is a little neater than next door, with tablecloths and potted plants, folded napkins... but don't expect anything special all the same. Decent dishes, nothing more. Shady terrace.

Situated beside the coastal road, just a few meters from its eternal neighbor and main competitor (Symon's), this popular eatery is the Chinois of the eastern seaside and tourist section: a restaurant with terrace where you can enjoy a range of decent Asian and local dishes, based on shrimps, squid, fish, chicken, etc., not forgetting the fried noodles. No particular attention is paid to the setting, but the children's corner stands out. Affordable prices and takeaway.

On the sublime Saint Géran peninsula, in a wooden structure on stilts above the lagoon, this table enjoys a beautiful setting in osmosis with nature. At the crossroads of several culinary influences, Tapasake, a combination of tapas and sake, is a fusion of pan-Asian flavours in Spanish tapas mode: sushi, tacos, bites made from first choice products revisited by the Chef. The service is as elegant and relaxed as the atmosphere is hip and trendy, energized by the Dj's musical programming.

This dapper Creole-style house with its stone walls and tin roof stands on the outskirts of Centre-de-Flacq, on the grounds of the former sugar estate. Formerly devoted to supplying workers with everyday products and small daily dishes, the Chinese store closed at the same time as the factory and has now been refurbished to become a café-bakery-pastry-grocery store where it's a pleasure to sit down. The short, healthy menu features homemade products and drinks, including iced teas, kefir, sweet and savoury dishes...
