Dinner in a Restaurant

Savour some delectable Mauritian cuisine in some of the best restaurants of Mauritius. A multitude of international restaurants are found at hotels and resorts, some of which feature celebrity chefs and Michelin stars. Non-residents are free to book and eat at most. Mauritius also has plenty of dining options outside the hotels where you can try the varied and delicious local cuisine at affordable prices.

Look for Creole fish rougaille (a spicy tomato sauce), daube (beef or chicken stew), and vindaye (deep-fried fish covered in turmeric, ginger, chillies, and mustard seeds), Indian specialties like octopus curry, crayfish and smoked blue marlin.

Grand Baie is the only area with a happening evening dining scene and to a lesser extent, Port Louis. Depending on where you're staying, it's also often a long drive from resort to restaurant.
