Black Steers Restaurant- Flic En Flac

On visited the Black Steer at Flic en Flac on Easter Monday we were handed dirty greasy menus, which quite frankly put us off ordering any food at all. The standards of Black Steer in S.A. are generally good, but on seeing the dirt on the torn menu covers we decided to leave and go and eat elsewhere, wondering what the hygiene was like in the kitchen. We did of course mention...

this to the staff who seemed quite amused by the situation. Shame for a franchise like this to drop its standards to such a low level.

I was quite disgusted by the dirty and greasy tables.The menus are like old and tatty cloths,they are torn and greasy, in my opinion if the visible part of the restaurant is in that state, then what about the non visible part ie: the kitchen!!

Really sad that a franchise is allowed to reach this level of cleanliness and service.

I will certainly not eat there ever!!

We are a young family of 2 (me 22, my husband 25) living in Mauritius over a year and I should say this restaurant is one of our favorites.

Overall feeling: During the weekdays not much people are there (as everywhere in the island, except the weekends), on weekends the atmosphere is really very nice, with many people on veranda, sometimes live music. I should mention that I...

have never seen many people inside, people mostly prefer to seat outside. I understand them :)

Service: the service is really nice, we were never angry on any waiter there - they are very pleasant and do their best to provide good service to the customers. So you never feel yourself uncomfortable to ask for something - they will to their best with smile on their face. It's very important.

Food & Drinks: It seems that my review is very positive, but I don't have anything against that. When something is good - I like to talk and share my experience. Actually they have a quite nice menu, u can always find something interesting and tasty. I really enjoy their Schnitzels, Grills, Mixed Grills served with fresh vegetable salad (the one I like)/chips (you choose) and a source of your choice. I like Spanish sauce, it is good flavored and not spicy, my husband loves Mexican (very spicy one).
Appetizers are also very tasty and you can find variety of them in the menu.
The only thing I don't like there is maybe salads (the one they provide with main meal I like), but the rest is not what is supposed to be. I mean you order Cesar salad but you get something different with no chicken, some local herbs, carrots. Actually it's very tasty but not Cesar. And if you are a lover of Greek salad you should avoid eating olives in the salad - they don't have any taste at all.
Drink is ok, you can get very good wines there, or tasty milkshakes and Freshs.

Deserts: the desert menu is quite small. Maybe you'll find some 7-8 deserts. I haven't tried all of them but overall they are good and fresh.

Would definitely recommend a couple to go there.
On this I am finishing my review, hope I helped someone to get an overall look of Black Steers. Would like to read more reviews here.

As with most of the island, the service is outstanding, with a friendly and helpful feel. The waitresses even played with our little baby so we had more hands free for the meal.

This is a South African chain with a South African menu and, although there is a good selection and it was all well executed, a franchise can never quite pass muster amongst restaurants. Nice big...

portions though.

It has a good location, with a view of the sea and the beach, and a verandah which people can walk into from the street. I can imagine it being a wonderful place for breakfast.

The snails were such a small portion it was not worth the effort, and the chicken livers were served in an odd sweet and spicy sauce which didn't really improve them.

For the staff, I'd recommend it. But the ambience still ends feeling like a posh Wimpys, and the food, while mostly good, is expensive considering what else can be found in the area.
