    What an experience. Café des arts is a MUST. We had such a lovely evening! The food is 10/10 and the service is wonderful. It is not simply having dinner. :) I highly recommend. (You definitely get your money's worth.)

    If you are a coffee fan, you'll enjoy. If you're not, you'll still enjoy the hot chocolate or the Red Velvet cake or the cheesecake or the crepes. Also burger menus, wraps and the likes Staff is nice and keen to help. Well lighted and clean. Illy coffee exclusive. Coffee lovers will like.

    A truly magical place. Jocelyn is fantastic, friendly and did everything to make the visit special. The location is so unique and the staff extremely helpful. Of course it helps if the food is good too and I can confirm that it was great.

    We were recommended Cafe des Artes by our family members who had come a couple of years earlier and who had a really memorable evening. Despite the best efforts of our hotel who told us it was closed, I have heard this about a few places, trying to keep guests inside the hotels and spending money there, we made our way to Cafes Des Arte, and were greeted by an amazing old Sugar Mill, and some very friendly dogs and the lovely owners Patricia and Jocelyn. We made our way into the remarkable building, which was filled with art from the Jocelyn's mother, which is all incredibly beautiful in a spectacular setting. We were waiting on hand and foot by Jocelyn and Patricia and regaled with many fascinating and very funny stories., they were a really lovely welcoming couple. The food was spectacular, amazing lobster with an amazing basil sauce, the most fresh snapper, cooked to perfection, tuna, and liver for starters, and a spectacular crepe suzette, which Jocelyn dramatically lit up. The food was of the highest standard, we think the best we had in Mauritius, where all food is amazing. There was a concise but excellent wine list and good value, and we a delicious Pouilly Fuisse. A wonderful evening, and we would highly recommend a visit, we cant wait to return.

  • 5/5 Akash G. 3 years ago on Google
    Give it a try: coffee or dirty chai, with some nibbles or a straight meal... or even lunch. Or a light dinner with soup. Or just tea with one of their stupendous cakes. And then sit back to enjoy. Enjoy the setting, the mood and the artfully dressed plates. And then you'll see why this place stands apart from other coffee shops.

  • 5/5 Timothy N. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent experience. The space is amazing. The pictures do not do it justice. Perfect for a romantic night out. Beautiful art by the proprietor's mother, Manglier, in the early modernist tradition decorates all the walls throughout this beautifully conceived converted sugar factory. So much thought and detail went into the space. The menu is not cheap. I ordered the three course instead of the four and was completely satisfied. Though I'd probably give the food a four, the overall experience was a five.

    It‘s much more appearance than substance. It was not worth the money. Despite that the chef claimed that billionaires from the US are getting by private jet for dinner there, the quality of the fish and the combination did not convince me. Besides, I find this sad and discriminating that the waitress was not allowed to talk to the guest in the native language, that is "Creole", during the service. I hope that Mr. Jocelyn is aware that this is Trou d'eau Douce and not C'ôte d'Azur. The Dorade served with a Combava sauce was mealy, unseasoned and hence savourless. The Combava sauce was dull as well as the vegetables. I would definitely eat better and for less in a two star Michelin restaurant outside Paris than in this so-called gourmet temple. And the millions dollars paintings on the walls are just mug's game. It's a kind of rip-off for tourists.

    I had the pleasure of dining at Café des Arts a few days ago, and it was truly one of the finest dining experiences I've ever encountered. From the gracious welcome by Jocelyn, the owner, to the exceptional service and the outstanding cuisine, every aspect was absolutely perfect. 🤩 I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment. The meticulous attention to detail and the stunning decor left me utterly speechless!

    All of the hosts, especially Patricia treated us like family. Very generous and engaging folks. The food was amazing and I don’t know anywhere else that will match the experience of Cafe des Arts. I will definitely visit again on my next trip to Mauritius. Highly recommend.

    (Translated by Google) We were yesterday Unfortunately it was closed and no information why, when open etc. Even on the website no mention But next to it ... the most beautiful tree (ficus) in the world It is strange that they are not on any list, no UNESCO patronage, nothing in guidebooks Seenammjuz is the largest in the world in Calcutta, it's great in Sri Lanka (which everyone wants to see), and here nothing And it is much more beautiful than in Sri Lanka and I hope that it stands on a private property and no one will destroy it. I can't thank you for your hospitality, But thanks to the fact that I wanted to see something in this restaurant / gallery - which deserves attention; The largest tree in Mauritius ;) (Original) Byliśmy wczoraj Niestety było zamknięte i żadnej informacji dlaczego, kiedy czynne etc. Nawet na stronie internetowej żadnej wzmianki Ale za to obok... najpiękniejsze drzewo ( fikus ) na świecie Aż dziwne ,że nie wpisane na żadną listę , żadnego patronatu UNESCO , nic w przewodnikach Widzialammjuz to największe na świecie w Kalkucie, to wielkie na Sri Lance ( które chce każdy zobaczyć) , a tu nic A jest o wiele piękniejsze niż na Sri Lance i mam nadzieję, że stoi na prywatnej posesji i nikt bo nie zniszczy . Nie mogę podziękować za gościnę, Ale dzięki temu , że chciałam do tej restauracji / galerii widzialam cos - co zasluguje na uwage; Największe drzewo na Mauritiusie ;)
