    Very poor unmotivated, unfriendly service, half of the menu was not available, nobody mentioned that, just said „don’t have“ once the menu item’s were ordered. Waited 15 minutes for the bill. Change came up on request only. Asked the „server“ to call a taxi, did it after the third time. Fish was boring, saffron rice was tasteless, veggies too. Felt very unwelcome in some unfriendly rude teenagers/kids playground. Stay away from there, all that I can suggest.

    Located on the opposite side of "Maison des Pêcheurs...". No doubt about fresh fishes in this place. Various types of menus including local dishes. Hygienic and finger licking plates. Hats off to the chef. I recommend it and especially for tourist.

    This is a really quaint place and family run restaurant. We had their specialty dish, fish baked in banana leaf and it really was special. Perfectly cooked white fish, in a curry, coconut sauce that was delicious.

    Absolutely lovely owner - he wasn’t supposed to open until evening but he saw two hungry tourists who had no luck finding an open restaurant in the neighbourhood so he decided to cook and serve the food for us!!! Amazing fresh fish fillet which was cooked perfectly. Coconut ice cream was also good!

    Interesting place. Found it late one night. It was quiet and ate on the porch. First place in Mauritius I found that cooks fish correctly. Order your fish medium and it will come out nice and flaky.

    Highly recommended. Seafood and fish dishes are wonderful. We tried shrimps with garlic sauce and the amazing fish Indian style in banana leave and everything was so delicious

    Very good banana leaf white fish curry made with peanuts, raisins, coconut milk and spices. Complimentary bread was fine. Would definitely eat again. Sitting on the perimeter of the restaurant, under what felt like a makeshift rain guard wasnt exactly a premier eating experience but it was fine. Small quibble.

    Very good seafood, it's fresh and value for money. The staff was very welcoming and gave good recommendation of the menu. Well located and family friendly. Quiet and away from the crowd so that you can enjoy your food.

    The fish baked in banana leaf was delicious, along with seafood gratin and shrimps in creole sauce. The hosts were especially amazing, helping us hungry tourists out during cyclone lvl 3! They were not meant to open but we phoned up and they offered to serve us for lunch when everywhere else was closed. Thank you again! Overall a homely vibe, family-run and delicious food, highly recommend!

    The snacks were good. But didn't like the main course. I could barely find the taste. I was not satisfied. The plates were broken in some parts

  • 4/5 Julien N. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice place with good sea food. Price is correct, around 10€ for a dishes. Cocktails are beautiful but I expected something different (the "in-house rhum based didn't taste so so much rhum and there was milk) Service is good. I recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Fabio de m. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty food, not the usual recipes, good portions and value for money.

  • 5/5 Nazeem J. 5 years ago on Google
    A great place for the best seafood in the south. The staff are always very nice. My favourite is the fish with coconut milk and rice. Very good value for money lunch or dinner. I highly recommend!

    I ordered fish and was nicely made. My husband did not like his meal. Restaurant needs a bit of updating. Prices are fair 👍

  • 4/5 Damian S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious! I had the fish in banana leaf and my wife a whole fish. Definitely recommend. Unfortunately the waitress was not really motivated to serve us a good experience. Not unfriendly, but just slow and bored somehow.

    For a restaurant that classrs itself at the top end of the market, service is poor, food is poor. Steak was sent back because it was undercook and returned still undercook . The fish was also undercook . The guy behind the bar was obnoxious. I would not recommend .
