    Nice food, lovely seafood pasta, good service. However, if you want to eat in a quiet place, it's not the place to go, it is very noisy, too busy for my taste.

    Please make a reservation before going!!! The place is totally worth the waiting time. The overall atmosphere is great and the food itself is very good. As example, the burger ordered is at Rs325, the burger is good but its not as good as that of miss daisy bistro found in Rose Hill, the dirnk was at Rs120, for 120ml of ice tea and as dessert a chocolate brownie Rs 90, total of the bill Rs550** per person. Dscent but a bit expensive... the burger was totally worth it double patty, really good taste and very filling, but i won't be on the same line for the drink and the dessert. However lack of time, could not taste the starters which were smelling damn good. So I will definitely be back there, with a reservation this time, and have a better taste of the overall menu. **There are pictures of the menu however bear in mind that the prices may vary at your visit.

    The place is really beautiful. The staff is friendly, helpful and well mannered. We were impressed by their welcome. Cosy place and deco is wonderful. Perfect place for a date, family gathering, outing with friends or cousins. Food looked great but it was not the best. Presentation of the food was really impressive.

    I used to love this place so much. Went there yesterday, the food was really bad. The crispy chicken and crispy calamari were good but the burgers were bad, it was overcooked, salty and chewy. The beef burger was okayish but the lamb burger was horrible. They even served us cold fries. Overall very disappointed. Very sad to see how the service and food quality declined in a year.

    Grilled marlin is excellent and unique to the menu of Café de la Presse. It's the one item I always order. Unfortunately I no longer get to visit regularly as I don't work in Port Louis anymore. The classic virgin mojito is one of the best made you'll find in Mauritius. Follows the right recipe with green limes rather than lemons and minimal/no use of additives like Sprite and syrup. A bit noisy but some people like it that way. It is better to book for lunch as the café gets very busy during that period.

    A cosy place to grab a coffee Rien d'extra ordinaire Price is quite overated compared to quality of food

  • 5/5 Ed D. 9 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    We always visit it when in Port Louis. Nice food and coffee. I personally enjoy affogato here each time. Caprese is surprisingly good also.

  • 3/5 Javisth B. 7 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    The atmosphere is cozy and nice. The service was okay. The food was ok but I waited 45 minutes before getting my order. I ordered a baguette with smoke marlin and it came cold; the melted cheese in it had time to harden before being served. The chicken burger was okay, but the bottom bun of the burger was humid, perhaps due to the wait as the tomato slice and sauce in it must have dripped. It was not that hot either. I had to ask them to give me my appetizer 40mins in since I did not receive but the chili chicken nuggets were tasty.

    (Translated by Google) The best cafe in town. Good coffee, great food and decent service. The price is acceptable (as in the EU). Probably the biggest surprise in Port Louis. Certainly recommend to visit. (Original) Nejlepší kavárna ve městě. Dobrá káva, úžasné jídlo a slušná obsluha. Cena je přijatelná (jako v EU). Asi největší překvapení v celém Port Louis. Určitě doporučuju navštívit.

  • 2/5 Deepa J. 4 years ago on Google
    Very bad service, takes way too long and they got my order wrong. Tried their pasta, the marinara was ok with very little chicken pieces.

  • 4/5 Parveez C. 3 years ago on Google
    Cool atmosphere.. good place for lunch. Staff very courteous. Suitable place for businessmen as it's situated in a commercial zone.

  • 3/5 Radhika 8 months ago on Google
    First of all I like the atmosphere. The deco was on top. But the service are slow. Staff were not welcoming. The food was bad. It was tasteless.

  • 5/5 Maneesha M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice &tasty food in a cosy atmosphere. Quite busy during weekdays lunch time. Better get a table reserved and be ready to wait a little longer for the food... But it's worth it 😁

  • 4/5 Béatrice L. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food. Good and fast service. No outdoor space but the dining room is large and air conditioned (nice in the steaming summers). The desserts are fantastic

  • 3/5 kash 2 years ago on Google
    Food is okay but service is horrible. Had two bad experiences. Ordered 3 burgers last Saturday, received only two burgers and had to wait almost 20 mins for the third one. Today we ordered 5 meals for lunch, main meal came and the fries which were supposed to come along arrived when we had all finished our meals. The concept and place started well but the standard has completely gone down in terms of delivery and service taking into account that we also pay of their service & price wise - its not the cheapest. Would’ve at least appreciated if we had received an apology on both occasions but it never happened.

  • 5/5 Shahana A. 3 years ago on Google
    Looking for a nice cafe to lunch in Port Louis! “Cafe de La Presse” is the place! A little cosy place, with very friendly staffs and delicious food and drinks. Its awesome for lunches with friends and even with your work Team. If offer “Pre-Order and Takeaway” services too.😍❤ P.s; The food and Cold Beverages are great, i dont really like their coffee there, not up to the level.

  • 3/5 Mary 1 year ago on Google
    Large space, coffee was good. The hospitality was not the best. You have to go to the counter to get the attention of the staff most times

  • 3/5 sony s. 2 years ago on Google
    Only the veg food was delicious n otherwise for value of money the rest average. But the service was ok.

  • 3/5 Vivek A. 2 years ago on Google
    Difficult to visualise the size of the restaurant from the street level. Huge space and a pleasant ambience. Regular clearing of tables, floor cleanliness and dirty bins in the kitchen were a put off. The place needs to improve its housekeeping. The first impression can be deceptive once you start looking for details. Food quality is good.

  • 5/5 Troll 4. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food. You'll enjoy your time at that place as it's nicely decorated accompanied by a good atmosphere.

  • 5/5 John D. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing people and service. It is really the spot in Port-louis where you enjoy both the meal and the cozy ambiance with in addition beautiful smiles on the staffs faces. It's like stepping in a little oasis out of this world...far from the infernal crowd of Port-Louis. A MUST GO

  • 2/5 Tega S. 10 months ago on Google
    Tasteless lamb burgers. The meat patty is there but lacked the savoury taste. Too much of their own spices and herbs in it may be. Also waitress careless on instructions. Asked for well done and got half cooked burgers even after a 30 minutes wait…

  • 5/5 ishad ally R. 1 year ago on Google
    I simply loved it for its simplicity and quiet place... the menu is just wow...nothing i've seen elsewhere...i'll surely visit next time

  • 5/5 Deenoo P. 5 years ago on Google
    Food were amazing and yes one thing reserve your place before going cause it almost full when arrived for lunch or else you will have to wait on the sofa before getting a table. 😊

  • 2/5 Gian V. 1 year ago on Google
    Lunch with 4 colleagues yesterday. Not the best of experience! Had I rated CDLP early 2020 (pre lockdown) I would have given them a 5 🌟 rating, but yesterday's service was well under par considering their price point. Food delivery was extremely delayed considering we had pre-ordered; We were 5 and were crammed onto a table for 4; I normally love a coffee and dessert at the end of my meal... Couldn't do this as I would've been late for my next appointment. Altogether a rather harrased experience, for me as a diner and clearly the staff! I would like to go back as the food was okay; I just hope that the management has taken on-board these criticisms in a constructive manner. I'll be really happy to adjust my ratings accordingly.

  • 3/5 Akash G. 1 year ago on Google
    Good service, good food, good location. Nothing exceptional. It will fill your stomach appropriately, that's all. Ah, the price is a bit on the high side as compared to the very average experience, so be careful.

  • 4/5 Vijaya B. 1 year ago on Google
    A cosy place that offers not only good food and drinks but a perfect escape from the busy city.

  • 5/5 Deeksha J. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Ghurburrun Y. 3 years ago on Google
    I won't mind taking brunch there as I loved the brownie and iced tea. But when it comes to lunch, its definitely overpriced.

  • 4/5 Pratima S. 3 years ago on Google

    Food and coffee was good. Service was mediocre. Staff should be trained to be more friendly and service oriented. Take some lessons from Cafe Lux.

👍👍 One word... PRICE! Oh my God does this place have the best prices in the whole of the western hemisphere on the island. A cup of tea goes as low as 25MUR (03/06/22), date is important Incase of inflation in the future😂. Nevertheless this place has the best snacks for a quick bite, lunch, breakfast...

👍👍 Plenty of seating spots ideal for lunch. The espresso is somewhat fresher and less acidic than other outlets. Tried the Chicken sandwich, got it toasted. Probably the best lunch item compared to the paninis available there. Cappucino was good too.
