    Went to Ile aux Cerfs as part of a tour operator package. With that we got a 3 course meal included but drinks were extra. As a vegetarian I got: a salad that was one of the saltiest things I've eaten; a vegetable curry that was very spicy; and a plate of fruit. My wife got cold prawns, over cooked fish, and a banana pancake. She also commented on the salt. So the meal felt like it was cooked to make us thirsty, so that we'd buy drinks. It just wasn't pleasant. The view from where you eat isn't bad. And we had an entire table to ourselves.

    (Translated by Google) An island with many water sports. The only free there is the air ;-) For me it was felt a mass processing, but I have seen only a small part of the island (Original) Eine Insel mit vielen Wassersportmöglichkeiten. Das einzige kostenlose da ist die Luft ;-) Für mich war es gefühlt eine Massenabfertigung, aber ich habe auch nur einen kleinen Teil der Insel gesehen

    One of the best place in Mauritius. It's hot their but worth every penny of visiting it. Blue water and white sand Island, what else do you need to relax. You can chill out with beer and pizza seeing the calm sea. Also their is a water fall near by to the beach that is also awesome and worth visiting it.

    Nice staff, nice cocktails, delicious food, beaches, super views, and water activities available. It's really vast for big parties. End of year parties, marriage, and celebration parties for large number of people.

    As for me it wasn't very nice experience...when I was there, some employees were rude (let me mention that I'm a person who's always kind and I smile all the time, so it's not like I deserved it or something). I felt bad and unwanted. The prices are too expensive. I couldn't believe how much they use tourists' patience and wallets. I like the island but the restaurant isn't a place i wpukd like to visit again... that's sad

    Good beach restaurent.. It is situated right on the beach of Ill aux cerfs. No such big restaurants nearby as the place can be accessible only by boat. Everyone reach there for a day's outing has to depend highly on such small food corners for foods, beverages and drinks. This restaurant offers all those but not deserve 5 star for it's services, and prices comparing to it's quality.

    (Translated by Google) Nice location, great view. But with 7 € for a beer too expensive. (Original) Schöne Lage, tolle Sicht. Aber mit 7€ für ein Bier zu teuer .

  • 3/5 Mario T. 5 months ago on Google
    Touristy place, too expansive for medium quality. I did not really expect anything else but the island definitely needs more food options. Even better: just bring your own food.

    Overall it was a great experience. The food was really good, the atmosphere was pleasant and staffs are very welcoming and helpful. Just one remark is that some dishes on the buffet needs to be covered properly but apart from that everything went well.

    Needs better menu more staff and faster service..also the seats got several people to fall. But the island is a great place to visit.

  • 5/5 Maria M. 2 years ago on Google
    The bar has delicious cocktails for reasonable prices. The staff are the nicest people. I ordered calamari to go from the bar and told the barman that I was in a hurry because my boat was leaving. Not only I received the calamari on time, but the barman put some extra cakes in the box. ☺️

    There are tourist prices, and then there is blatant robbery, this place defines the aforementioned. Be warned, they are trying to chase the general public away from this area, corrupt.

  • 1/5 Matteo B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Bad restaurant. Lack of hygiene and carelessness of customers. I ordered a margherita pizza and after two hours they still hadn't brought it to me (and there weren't many customers). After exposing the problem to the manager, I was reassured but for another hour I didn't see the pizza. Needless to say, I left and will never go back (Original) Ristorante pessimo. Mancanza di igiene e noncuranza dei clienti. Ho ordinato una pizza margherita e dopo due ore non me l’avevano ancora portata (e i clienti non erano tanti). Dopo aver esposto al gestore il problema, sono stato rassicurato ma per un’altra ora non ho visto la pizza. Inutile dire che sono andato via e non ci tornerò più

  • 2/5 Salzi 8. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) As soon as you get off the boat, you will be towed to this bar. Then are sold to an activities that are only partially met. The confrontation said they would get a cocktail as compensation, all empty words .. The activities are too expensive, buy this in other places in Mauritius with honest people .. The Welcomedrink itself was good, but there is a star , (Original) Gleich wenn man vom Boot steigt, wird man an diese Bar geschleppt. Dann werden einem Aktivitäten verkauft, die nur bedingt eingehalten werden. Bei der Konfrontation hiess es, man würde als Wiedergutmachung einen Cocktail erhalten, alles leere Worte.. Die Aktivitäten sind zu teuer, kaufen Sie dies an anderen Orten auf Mauritius bei ehrlicheren Leuten.. Der Welcomedrink an sich war gut, dafür gibt es einen Stern.
