Restaurants cuisine du monde Port Mathurin

This is the most stylish restaurant in Port Mathurin. At the helm are Frenchmen Romain and Isabelle, he a sommelier, she a decorator, both of them in love with this little piece of island. In a nice chic bistro atmosphere, they offer French cuisine that speaks Rodriguan (or the other way around) accompanied by beautiful bottles. The products are chosen in short circuit and the menu plays on the two soils via a selection of worked dishes (Trio of carpaccio, braised country ham...) or more classic (Farmhouse chicken-fries). Artisanal store on the spot.

A place of sharing, exchange and conviviality, this café, just like the receptive of the same name, is meant to be an open space and a dynamic meeting point between Rodriguans and travelers passing through. An oasis in the heart of the city, it occupies the former parish priest of Port Mathurin (lounge area) and extends to a shaded terrace and a landscaped garden. The spirit of recovery inspires the decoration and the furniture. Everything is homemade, you can stop by for a fresh juice, a delicious sweet or savory crepe, a dish of the day... and also to book an excursion.

We sit down directly at the fisherman's, who has a store and serves freshly grilled fish, and especially a Tino Rossi salad of which we will not reveal the secret... but... quickly, go ahead! Known throughout the island and adored by travelers for his incredible kindness, our man also takes whoever wants on his pretty pirogue: to Cocos Island and Catherine Islet, for 8 people maximum and with a picnic. Much more than a dinner or an excursion, it is above all the occasion of an extraordinary human meeting!

In a popular atmosphere, a wide range of dishes from Rodriguan, Mauritian, Chinese and European cuisines are prepared and served: fish, seafood, shellfish, lobster, etc., in all sauces and ways. The establishment has a good reputation among the locals even if the room is not really crazy. Very local atmosphere on game nights (flat screen TV) and musical entertainment (band) once a month. Also a bar with a nice cocktail menu.

Recently opened, this new restaurant is located at the northern entrance of Port Mathurin, a bit removed from the bustle of François Leguat street. Refreshed by a small breath of air, it consists of a large shaded terrace on stilts overlooking the river where the very first inhabitants settled. On the slate, the dishes of the day are chosen according to the fishing and the arrival of the producers. Fish, seafood, chicken and duck are cooked in the Rodrigues style, according to traditional recipes. A winning equation: the restaurant is always full!
