The best restaurants Mapou

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.

Bucolic, in a lounge-vegetal spirit, this magnificent terrace, rustling with life and joy, is drowned in ferns and green plants. We're in the Quartier des Serres, Mauritius's finest living and shopping area, surrounded by orchards and gardens. The menu draws on local fruit and vegetables and produce from the Domaine: mixed salads, quiches, paninis, small Mauritian or vegetarian dishes, crêpes... At any time of day, you can drop in for a juice, a lunch or a treat... Also the Salle à Manger for a cool lunch (air-conditioned).

In the same decorative, plant-based spirit as the adjoining La Terrasse restaurant, these 3 kiosks are the fast, cheap version of the Quartier des Serres. Fancy a fresh juice, a smoothie, a local street food snack or a sweet treat? This is the place to be when you don't have the time or inclination to grab a bite to eat, before or after your visit to the Château. You can order takeaway or sit at one of the high tables. Next door: La Corbeille grocery store and boutiques.
