Le Chamarel – meal with a fantastic view

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»

Hidden Reef  – A wonderful French dining treat !

We have a tradition to go out to dinner to celebrate any happy occasion. This time it was our wedding anniversary. Since we live in Pointe aux Canonniers, we had a full range of restaurants to choose from, all found very short distance from our home. My husband was the one to decide on where to go to and he chose one of his new favorites – Hidden Reef. Hidden Reef quickly became one of his favorite restaurant due to its great atmosphere, beautiful setting and top cuisine consisting of slow-cooked meats, flavorful fresh fish dishes, and sweet plantains. This was our third outing in Hidden Reef. At the first two visits, we noticed there was a very pleasant “buzz” to the place. Before our first visit to the Hidden Reef, we had heard... Read more»

C Delights – Delicious Seafood and Steaks in Quatre Bornes

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»

Charka Steak House – Steaks at their very best

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»
