Great atmosphere, surrounded by breathtaking beauty of nature. Restaurant is in fact very far from the entrance, so we got misleaded. At the restaurant, the service was pathetic ! people coming after us got served well ahead of us. They apologized, but this doesn't cover up the lack of good service for me, as other clients were also complaining about this. The food was not quite up to the level. Very greasy starters to start with, main dish not up to the level again. But the desserts made my day ! To conclude, the staff need some very serious training.

We visited in August 2018. We had a tour around the factory and got to look at the museum. The staff at the restaurant were polite and considerate to our needs. The food was good and of an acceptable standard for the price. On this occasion i visited they experienced "network" issues and the request for the bill took 30 mins to complete. Not to the fault of any of the staff but still worth mentioning. The one thing about this place is the beauty of nature. Its calm environment transports you to a far away place and any worries you have will be forgotten for a moment, a natural drug giving you a gentle high. The fishing, paddle boat and tea tasting will make this place well worth another visit.

Nice restaurant with good food

When we arrived we were asked to pick our own table and the menus arrive almost immeditely. They had a lot of choices and the prices were about 300 roupees. The food was delivered a bit to quick almost straight after our galic bread. The drinks were very nice and I had Pinacolada. The was was quite nice but the service was quite slow when coming to collect plates and give the bill. This restraunt is very nice and I would reccommend this to all.

Restaurant sympa, j'y reviens pour la troisième fois avec plaisir

Had lunch at L'Atelier yesterday Friday the 17th of April 2015. Had a great time, beautiful set up, you're suddenly away from port-louis crowd city centre n noise. A cool music plays in the background, there are Mauritian books in its librairie upstairs, n beautiful joyful paintings on the wall. A stone building with an ancient cachée outside and a modern look inside, industrial type. When you're seated you're offered a little amuse bouche, either a tomato gaspacho with croutons, or a little toast of tomates cerises n chese etc. I took Toulouse as main course, a parmentier de canard with mtian duck confit it is accompanied by a salad of lettuce n walnut, well seasoned. My guest took vindaye cerf with rice, lentils, petsai, chutney pomme d'amour. Was all delicious. The fresh juices are also worth tasting, perfectly refreshing. To be recommended for a cosy intimate lunch with distinguished guests n friends.

Staying at the Royal palm, I was really recommended to go see this place by the concierge. I really don't know what to say about this place. I am happy I discovered this restaurant, as the food was really excellent. The only problem that in any standard the prices are very high. Cocktails are about 1000 Rs and the dinner for 4 of us was total 28000 Rs!!! which is what I paid for one night at Royal Palm. If the prices don't scare you, then you should definitely try this place - a true one of a kind

truly a magical place I visit each time Iam in MAURITIUS,MAGICAL SURROUNDINGS and as a bonus the wonderful works by YVETTE Maniglier to be admired.It is like a well kept secret.The place does not come cheap but what can be expected at this level.Before dinnerdrinks are twice the size of what you get at your 5star resort for instance.So I 'd sayoverall an honest price-quality rate.4course dinner-including lobster-is 4000rupees. for this price you get a marvelous dining experience.If you like fine dining do not miss out.To unconditional fans of fastfood;stay away

This was the dining highlight of our trip to Le Toussrok, it is wonder why more people don't venture outside the hotel, this is such a wonderful restaurant, I wish we had discovered it earlier in our visit so we could have gone a few times. Highly recommended and a great salve after buffet food! Definitely worth the trip, and whilst a little on the expensive side, well worth it.

This was not my first visit to the Cafe des Arts.Iam not a great writer of reviews because I think one can get carried away with an exceptionally good (or bad)experience. In this case I just feel like Ihave to write a review to share this place with others and since I am new at this I will follow the guidelines. Be aware this is a high-end place,no fast-foodlovers here:but then you will feel the atmosphere as soon as your driver turns the car into the garden of this old and superbly restored sugarmill(la petite Victoria)Just the sight of the immense and cleverly lighted banyantree is awesome.The guests are greeted by the owner himself or one of the elegant hostesses dressed in sari and that is just the beginning of a wonderful evening.An evening which I find a welcome relief of fivestar hotel routine. You make your selection from the menu seated in a cozy lounge ,surrounded by the colourful paintings by Yvette Maniglier.Don't expect to find a very elaborate menu but everything is exceptionally fresh and you will find of the highest standards of food.Iloved the lobster which seemed reasonably priced when compared to my hotel where the supplement for the lobster was the same as the asking price here,le coeur de palmiste braisé accompagné de gambas to die for,carpaccio de daurade as an appetizer-it is all coming back now-le trio de chocolat(as a Belgian I know my chocolate),poisson en croute de sel and I could go on.Everything presented on personnalized plates,little works of art competing with the ones on the walls. The service is outstanding,becoming quite seldom these days outside 3star-restaurants.Eventhough the most important in a restaurant may be what is on your plate,this kind of service gives that extra bit of glitter to a wonderful evening.No need to look for a waiter to refill your glass,but no pushy waiters either trying to get you to open a second bottle if you don't want to.Beyond all this is the savoir-faire of Jocelyn Gonzalez master of the house and host extraordinaire,taking into account the slightest details from namecards on the tables to the choice of the music,always supervising everything and entertaining you with amazing stories about his artcollection. Speaking of the music it is not seldom that people ask if they can take home with them the music of The Cafe des Arts.Mr Gonzalez might have a nice surprise in store for you there,but let's not spoil it! Last time I went we had a private evening and a jazzquartet playing live music.Before I would have told you jazzmusic is not really my thing now I wouln't say that again.It was the kind of evening that ended all too soon but it made me feel very privileged ! Do not expect a very crowded place,nevertheless if you don't make reservations in advance you won't get in.Prepare yourself for an intimate or romantic experience.But if you want to organize a private function like nowhere else in Mauritius and have an evening everyone will talk about, there is no place like "le Cafe des Arts"at Trou d'Eau Douce.And Jocelyn he will do the impossible to realise all your requests. I am looking forward to having my next birthdayparty there!

J'y etais hier, dimanche 17 octobre, pour le lunch...car on etait a deux pas du restaurant qui plus est arrivé vers 15hr00, les autres restaurants sont fermés... Or, cuisine, bof on a connu mieux...Deja pour l'entrée, on a opté pour une salade au Marlin: le pauvre marlin nageait dans l'assiette...j'ai compté 4 fines tranches de Marlin posées sur une masse de feuilles de laitues/tomates...Comme vinaigrette, du VINAIGRE carrement...Bon on ne s'est pas plaint en pensant que la suite serait 'meilleure'... Suite:- Steak de Cerfs - sauce poivre vert - accompagné de frites et salades... Temperature: excellente...couleur magnifique, me donnant tres faim... Mais helas...mais quelle deception!!! Trop salé, vraiment trop. On fait renvoyer le plat, le serceur s'excuse et j'opte pour un autre plat...Un steak au thon a la moutarde...la c'etait beaucoup mieux...mais encore une fois HELAS, je n'avais plus faim... En d'autres mots, si vous y allez...preferez un panier de frites et quelques bieres...mais si vous restez manger, choisissez un plat chinois car le cuisto est lui meme chinois...si seulement je le savais...

very good food and also briyani is very good. one of the best i ate on the island. i recommend to go and taste the food. will surely go again.

Wonderfull taste of mauritian cuisine; best place to be if you want to taste real good fine mauritian dishes...

To be honest, i have travelled to many countries and have tasted different types of foods, a country has to offer, but sure to be amazed by the time I’ve been to this family styled restaurant, my culinary experience have played a big role. The fine and unique mauritian fusion cuisine sure made our family’s night memorable, as i was checking its page on Facebook, Le Callyptus Family Restaurant, I’ve noticed this beautiful and sure to be one of a kind, dancefloor, !!! Astonishing , What made it even more interesting, security is ensured and the owner point out clearly, only families, will visit very soon, thanks team Callyptus Restaurant

A great restaurant with beautiful location on the beach. The sea breeze and the view are a very big plus to this restaurant. We came as a group of 6 and we had a selection of fish and sea food dishes which all were very good. As for the service, it was terrible, but I always care much more about the quality of food than about the service and we all tried to be patient with the unprofessional staff. Prices are not cheap mid-ranged, but worth it. Highly recommend to arrive before sunset because of the view point You will love it!

Went there on the 5/11/09. Was very good . celebrated birthday . was memorable

Great food and the ocean view adds to the experience. Although we found the restaurant pretty crowded the service was nice. The prices are more than reasonable.

Très bon repas dans un cadre idyllique ! Nous y retournerons ans soucis !

Currently under renovation, not sure when it will reopen.

Exellent restaurant avec un cadre magnifique,une cuisine rafinée,un personnel trés professionel et sympatique ainsi que le patron ! nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir, A bientot !
