    What to order at a seafood restaurant

    Cari poisson, octopus salad or octopus vindaye, grilled catch of the day with lemon and garlic, prawn rougaille, smoked marlin as a starter, and lobster where it is in season and priced by weight. Ask what came in that morning rather than ordering off the printed list — the fresh board changes daily.

    Seafood Restaurants in Mauritius

    Seafood is the reason most visitors book a table on the coast, and the range is wider than the hotel menus suggest. Line-caught fish, octopus, prawns, crab and — in season — spiny lobster all appear, cooked either in the Creole style with tomato and thyme or simply grilled with garlic butter.

    The best value sits away from the resort strips: Mahébourg, Trou d'Eau Douce, Bel Ombre and the fishing villages of the west sell the same catch at lower prices, usually with a shorter menu and a longer wait.
