Open for nearly 2 decade, Le Capitaine is one of the most renowned fish and seafood restaurant in Grand Baie. My friends have been going there for the past couple of years due to the commendable authentic dishes served in style, by the water edge. The restaurant is very cozy and offers a magnificent setting overlooking the Kapu-Kai lagoon. We are always amazed by the stunning location of the restaurant and the beautiful scenery its offers – the sunset and the view on the Isla-Mauricia is simply perfect!! We arrived early (06:30 PM) and unexpectedly the restaurant was halfly full. I will suggest you booked a table in advance if you ever plan to eat there. For the dress code, smart casual attire is preferred since it is an elegant dining... Read more»
There’s no shortage of good restaurants in Chamarel, but despite all the other great restaurants, whenever Mr “C” and I go to this area we end up eating lunch at the same restaurant- Le Chamarel. Overall, Le Chamarel is still one of the best in my book after weighing all the factors, especially quality of food and service and affordability. As this weekend Mr C and I spent the weekend at Lakaz Chamarel http://mauritiusattractions.com/lakaz-chamarel-hotel-13.html , so before checking in we went to Le Chamarel for lunch. The temptation was too great to resist Don’t be put off by the never ending winding road to the top as it is well worth it, the view of the restaurant is stunning. At Le Chamarel restaurant you find a beautiful... Read more»
Mauritius is an ideal place to enjoy Al Fresco dining (eating outside). The temperature is ideal throughout the year. On any non rainy day, there is nothing like enjoying a great meal sitting in a beautiful garden. This is exactly why when our internet crashed in our office and we learnt that the fixing will take quite a while, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather outside and headed for long lunch break with clear intentions to enjoy a good meal somewhere nice allowing us to enjoy some good fresh of air. We chose the Le Fangourin restaurant; when looking back on our decision, it was definitely a good one. Set amidst the garden of Beau Plan, Le Fangourin presents an exceptional setting: beautiful vegetation, open space a pool... Read more»
Mr. “C” and I stayed at the Le Touessrok Resort for the weekend, and we thought it is a great opportunity to dine at the Safran restaurant of which we heard so much about. The Safran restaurant unfolds around an open kitchen, with Tandoori ovens producing gentle aromas of the Indian cuisine. The restaurant design consist of open sides framed by chic wooden shutters which provide great sea views from the restaurant deck and at the same time welcome the refreshing sea breeze. Together with beautiful glasses, gold leaf plates, and with a contemporary design made with much attention to details, the Safran provides a designer-led ambiance. When we sat at our table, we had a great view of the sea on one side and of the Le Touessrok’s... Read more»
Yesterday we went to Paparazzi for dinner. Paparazzi was established in 1998, and has managed to keep a true traditional Italian atmosphere since its opening and up until today. The Restaurant is a little hidden, it is indeed right in the centre of the Sunset Boulevard in the very center of Grand Baie, but it is situated on the second floor of the sunset boulevard complex. Paparazzi features an open ‘balcony’ ambience. The décor is luxuriant white. The tables hold wine glasses, sparkling cutlery and vases filled with fresh flowers. The color palate really suits the atmosphere of a classic fine dinning Italian restaurant. We were puzzled to see a very small menu of only appetizers and pizzas, but then the waiter showed us the menu... Read more»
Mr “C” came home and announced “lets go for early dinner”, where should we go I asked? “Let’s try a new restaurant”, he said with much confidence. I of course, was happy to agree as I very much enjoy trying and discovering new restaurants. As I love seafood and Mr “C” prefers meat, it is always a dilemma which type of restaurant to choose. So when our friends told us we MUST TRY the new C Delights restaurant in Quatre Bornes, which is a Seafood & Steak restaurant, we immediately decided to go for it!!! We arrived to C Delights at 17:00, as this was the only time they had available table for us (we called in advance to make reservations). The restaurant was fully booked from 18:00 till 22:30! It is a definite sign that... Read more»
Mr. “C” and I absolutely love good steaks; unfortunately there aren’t too many good steakhouses in Mauritius. Recently we were told by a friend that Charka Steak House is the best “original” steak house in Mauritius, serving top quality meats imported from South Africa. This is why, as part of our search for a great steak we decided to visit the Charka Steak House and to try it for ourselves. The Charka steak house is located in the Le Preskil Beach Resort, Pointe Jérome – Mahébourg. Upon arriving to the restaurant, we were seated immediately at the very romantic table assigned for us with beach view. The waiter was kind enough to move the chair for me and place the napkin on my lap, which was very nice. Even though this... Read more»
