Mauritius Dining Reviews

Don Camillo is an institution of Grand Baie, It has got a relaxed, friendly vibe where families and friends meet in a happy atmosphere. Crowd is usually a mix of lovals, expats, tourists. The service is good and friendly, the food is honest, not pretentious nor over priced and in sufficient quantities. It’s the restaurant where people go again and again. So if there is a place to eat out, its at Don Camillo. I recommend the place accordingly. Patrick

The RESTAURANT in Grand-Baie, since 1999 this italian and Mediterranean restaurant served an amazing food, the waiter are older than the place, very reputated with the local, nice terrasse.Good value for money.

McDonalds is a safe haven if your not adventuress with your food. They food is what you would expect from any McDonalds, just with more salt than in Europe. Toilets are very dirty, so it is worth holding on till you get home. I would always give a wide birth in future.

The only good thing for the Keg is its location, not a good selection of drinks, over priced for what it offers. It just meant for tourists, and not locals. The service was friendly, but I was short changed. So would never go back there again.

They would have to have the best selections of beers in Mauritius. Good atmosphere, friendly service. I will always being going back there for a pint. Would recommend to anyone who wants to drink something different to Phoenix.

I go at least once a week to pick up a cake; there is always a good friendly service. The shop is well presented, with a good selection of cakes. The quality of the cake is far better than anyway else, but you do pay a little bit more for it, but you get what you pay for. They make cakes to order, which I have used in the past, and it has always been a very good service. I would recommend anyone to eat cakes from here.

I have been to the King Dragon Twice, with groups of friends. We ordered the fondue (which you had to book in advance) both times. It was very tasty, and a novel way of cooking your own dinner. The service was good, they wasn’t much of an atmosphere in the restaurant, apart from at our table, but it was mid week that we went. The place was clean and tidy, and what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. Overall I was very happy with the evening, and would go back again, and recommend other to go there.

This Family run restaurant is very good value for money and the owner Marcel and his family are always very warm in their welcome,responding to your every need without being overbearing.It is also a very good take away spot and they are well geared for outside catering as well.My favourite dishes are "Crevettes a l'ail"served with a lovely creamy sauce and the "Bol renversé" is generous and tasty with a lot more ingredients than in the bog standard one you get everywhere.Phone ahead for instructions on how to get there as its a little off the road but the quiet charm of this place is what makes its appeal.Excellent for family dos and quiet business lunches.

Realxing ambience with excellent live acoustic music, TV/large screen projectors showing football and very attentive service. Superb deal on the happy hour beer @ 50rupees. Highly recommended!

Being a great amateur of Chinese Cuisine I decided to bring my parents there for dinner last Monday. Big Mistake! I ordered a whole lot of different nnacks and main course but they were all disgusting one after the other! I never ate so awful food in my whole life! Fried chicken and calamari looked dark and oily and were tasteless. Sweet and sour fish tasted bad and the calamari che chuan smelled bad. Never go there. such a deception

Good food. Excelent serive. Wish I could go there any day of the week...

This restaurant gives the ambience of having a very friendly atmosphere and of course the food is divine. The little hostesses are always helping and you can take your kids with. they have an awesome friday night band with set menu's and really jokes aside the food is really good. I will go there often.

Service and food not value for money.. I found the price really expensive..

Best quality food and super service, like it should be !!!

Normal commercial cuisine. Nothing outstanding. Staff quite low grade, not trained to european standards.

I have a wonderful dinner every time I visit this place. Very reasonable price,typical south Indian taste. I would like to visit here again and again.

Went there 2-3 time with da wife. For tequilas..hehehe Then decided to go for dinner 1 night with the parents, service nothing to complaints about as every1 know the wife and i there for leaving good tips. As soon we walk in got seated straight away and asked for drinks and was servered with 5 minutes. Food part. Starters was not that great, chefs was probably having issues with salt, food was too salty and was ask to get another one which this time was. All four of use got crispy squids that night. Main course..... Wife Lamb Steak...cooked outside, raw inside, probably defrost using a microwave or was thrown frozen directly to the pan. Lamb was 40% fat 20% bone 40% meat. And the meat was very chewy. Would recommend. My dad and myself ordered beef steak. Was very well seasoned and cooked, nothign to say about it. Mum got squid, supposely fresh squid, I should have write FRESH in bold. Like FRESHLY out of the freezer. Got the waitress to go over to ask the chef to taste it and she came back and goes like the chef said it taste like that because its FRESH..hahaha Sorry i ate fresh squid before and i know how fresh squid tate like....would recommend Desert was fine, nothing to complaint about, and tequilas was fine as well with FRESH lemon cut that same day ;-)

Went there on Valentine day to give it a shot. Ok not the best day to tryout a restaurant. But they had enough staff to cover about 15 tables and about 50 pax. Was greeted as soon we pass the door, got seated straight away. Waited 15 min for a waitress took our drink order by that time we had already chosen our main course. Waited 20 mins to get a cocktail and a coke. Waited 1 hour to get main course but luckily we got bread and butter to wait while the guys was working on the main dishes. Now the food part. Ordered grilled fish, wasnt a brillant idea. Fish was unsalted not even seasoned, i wonder what they were doing during that 1 hour to get the fish ready. Probably fishing the fish!!!!!I guess. During that time i ordered another cocktail for my wife...we got it...20 min later. Again guess they went picking the pineapple in the back garden to make the cocktail !!!! Desert part. Can we have the dessert menu plz. Sure... 10 min later, we dont have a desert menu but i can tell you whats on it, chocolate fondant, ice cream.... By that time i was too piss to order any desert. Good thing there was entertainment, sega dancers and singers, else waiting 1 hour i probaly hung myself in there or go fishing, pretty sure i can catch a fish faster.

This italian restaurant is located right next to the banana bar and the gas station in Grand Bay. It has nice outside location and the man in charge is doing his best to make his guests comfortable. Service is quick but friendly from my definition is somewhat different. I think guests with big pockets are treated a nicer way. The menue has a large variety of pizza as well as wines. The food is allright but lacking a certain rafinesse. This restaurant does profit from its location, price and atmosphere not from quality or composition of food. In my opinion you have better price/value at other pizza places but atmosphere and location with the possibility of sneaking by the bar next door make it a place for having a nice dinner.

La Cigale is a small restaurant located directly at the road towards Grand Bay. It has inside and outside tables and the restaurant offers take-away. The service is very friendly and quick. The menue contains lots of typical Italian dishes and offers a nice variety of wines. Beside the regular dish you order you will have a small bowl with grinded grana di padano and a variety of pesti. The served pasta is well cooked, ask for al dente if you prefer. The quality of pizza is ok. Although the chefs try to prepare it nicely with garlic, herbs and spices, the pizza base has to be improved. The atmosphere is ok. In my opinion this restaurant is positively neutral, not bad, but not overwhealming either. If you are looking for gourmet food or for a bargain try later. If your priority is the service and atmosphere I can definitely recommend.
