Where to eat: the 13 best restaurants in Pointe Aux Piments

If you are looking for a place to eat by the beach, this is the place to go. Not only was the owner nice, but the food was amazing. He mentioned that he only cooks whatever he caught that's fresh. None of his seafood is frozen. Such a beautiful experience. It's a tiny little shack on the beach. They set up the table for you and even put up a tarp if it starts to rain. Very considerate of them. Highly recommend.

Easily the best meal we had in Mauritius. If you’re looking for super fresh fish and local vibes served by the friendliest couple you can imagine this is the place for you. Prices are fair and are listed on the wall. They only sell the freshest fish so you never know exactly what he will have that day. We had the lobster, shrimps in pepper and white tuna curry. Every dish was outstanding. We hung out with the owner for hours sharing stories and beers. (Also try the homemade vanilla rum). They even brought out some instruments and played some classic Mauritian music. Amazing experience. Go!!

Excellent shrimp curry and red mullet fillet with the best view 😍

Owners are super kind, friendly and the food is just crazy delicious !! Directly from the sea to the plate, with a quick stop on the plancha/bbq. Quantity is more than what you expect. Best experience on the island ! 😁 (PS: go for the lobster 🦞😋)

We had lunch there and it was superb. Arrived at 12 and they were just setting the chairs out. We ordered the calamari which was one of the best I have ever had. The batter had spices and herbs and the squid wasn’t over cooked. We then had the prawn curry and 500g lobster. They both came with rice, dhal and a tomato chutney. Both where fantastic and I would highly recommend. The staff were very friendly and spoke good English. They brought something to deter the flies and even offered to look after our one year old who wanted to run around. All in all one of the best meals I have had here!

Loved the food here! Best fish curry I've had in my life. The owners vere very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come back!

Our friends recommended this place for rabbit fish as the best fish they’ve ever tasted. They were not wrong! This little spot with friendly hosts leaves a great impression, the fish was delicious, even the skin! They even put beers in beer holders - that’s a nice touch. It’s a quiet place along the coast with a breeze. Such a pleasant experience!

I'm sure this restaurant has changed its name to waves. That's were we've eaten last night. The ambience, food and staff were excellent. Well done. We had a romantic beach dinner and also had the opportunity to celebrate my sons 21st birthday with family Great memories

This restaurant is called Jade now and we really enjoyed the food there. Some nice vegan options as well which we appreciated.

Lovely setting right on the beach. Food was good. Note that it's closed for renovations at the moment.

Its located within the Hotel premises, Next to the beach with sound of waves is delight for beach lovers ! Its open for dinner ,food served is Mediterranean and french ! Not for Typical Indian people ! A place where you have loads of time ,as its crowded, the service is slow ! Its desert is simply great.

We ate here multiple times while staying at the hotel. Nice food and atmosphere.

Too expensive for the quality served... e.g. canned mushrooms in the seafood platter. Staff is friendly and up to speed.

Food was decent however the wait for three courses was nearly 2 hours

I'd give it average 3,5 stars, reasoning that service is humble and good, but food is a bit plain, there nothing to rave about. We ate lamb, chicken and shrimp. All were as average as they can be. Have had worse, have had better. Big plus was that this place was open as most others have probably closed their doors due to covid.

Honest review from a tourist: The owners are super nice. However, you don’t go to a restaurant for that. The restaurant is not only outdated, but most importantly - lacks a chef who knows how to cook. With the name of the restaurant we thought that they will prepare the most amazing lobsters on Mauritius. Unfortunately, the lobster was dry, had no taste and was probably frozen, definitely not a fresh catch. With the green lighting on the ceilings you cannot even see the color of the crustacean. We also ordered tuna (medium prepared) and it came out completely dry - what a waste of precious fish. The best thing on the menu seemed to be French Fries. Even so they were average. All in all, if you know good gastronomy, then you should avoid this place. Now, if you want to get some great tuna, order one at Le Skipper Restaurant nearby! For the owners I recommend: get rid of the coloured artificial lighting and get some normal ones. Try out what a great fish should taste and look like at the mentioned restaurant, look at some Youtube videos on how to properly prepare tuna and lobster, maybe put on a menu FRESH lobster on charcoal/bbq.

Nice food. All items are grilled and come with accompaniment of either rice, fries or salad. We ordered chicken and fish (catch of the day-Dorado) with different sauce options. Reasonably prized. Nice ambience by the sea.

Very nice little restaurant tucked away on the shoulder of the bend. It has a nice view and a good selection of food. Reasonably priced and friendly staff.

WOW, WOW ,WOW . A BIG bowl of Prawn Cocktail, followed by lobsters cooked to perfection. Quality house red wine served chilled ( not room temperature in this heat) ! Light and airy protected outside seating area with fan's and breeze from the sea. Attentive friendly staff, very chilled !

Absolute gem of a find. We tried the Langoustines, catch of the say(Dorado) and some pizzas. Everything was fresh, flavoursime and well prepared. The hospitality in this husband and wife run and operated restaurant shone throughout. We will be back!

We came here twice and received amazing food on both occasions. The prawns were particularly outstanding. The service from Amar was exceptional. Even though he was very new to the restaurant he was able to provide great knowledge on the menu and was a lovely person to talk to. 10/10 would recommend.

Here you get traditional and authentic lovely Mauritian food which is completely prepared and cooked fresh on your demand. While they make your dish, you can sit down and make you comfortable with a nice view at the beach. Birds are flying around and singing. Waves hitting the beach and make a nice surrounding which is perfect for relaxing. To be honest, you have to wait a few minutes, but that's the price of the freshness and trust me: it's worth the wait. We stayed at the Récif Attitude Hotel nearby and ate there three times in one week. This is what we've tried and loved: - chicken roti roll - chicken burger - fried noodles - chicken curry (on reservation) - fish curry (on reservation) The opening hours are everyday roughly from 10:30 till 16:00, but if you reserve your can have dinner there until 18:30. For reservation you can call her, write an e-mail or walk by the day before. We talked a lot to the nice girl (her name is Deepa) who prepares the meals and get some good tips for getting around (e.g. where is the next supermarket, ATM, bus stop, etc.), what we can do and where we have to be careful. She especially told us how, when and where we get the bus to get to Port Louis. So a taxi driver who wanted to rip us off had no chance ;) We easily become friends with her and now we miss her so much. She is such a good person. We hope to meet her again someday, so we can enjoy her tasty food again! To sum it up: the food is really, really lovely and the view is very nice. If you are hungry for authentic food, you must try Cabanne du chef!

Chicked wrap, delicious! Special thanks for a friendly serving 👍

Great little cabin! Very enthausiastic owner, great food, great view and very cheap! Well worth a visit for lunch or dinner.

Amazing food. Visited here on 27th dec and w8th dec 2017. Thank you Deepa for the wonderful local food.

It was yummy and filing. Go for it if you are looking for a spicy noodles !

The best tuna salad I ever tasted.

(Translated by Google) Deepa is a charming chef, we tasted her tuna pancakes and chicken pancakes, it was delicious Very good time (Original) Deepa est une charmante chef, nous avons goûté ses galettes au thon et celles au poulet, c'était délicieux Très bon moment

Very good place and the food is very excellent

It's an everyday outstanding food either dine in or take away.

best for pre plan events..

Very beautiful view of the sea and the menu is not expensive.

Nice food and good price

Foods were great

Good food

After checking-in Hotel,make a reservation at the frontdesk! This Asian-style restaurant is a must-try for stay at Le Méridien! From the moment you enter, the service is courteous and orderly. Listening to the sound of the waves 🌊 and gentle music is a must-try experience!

We stayed at Le Meridien Ile Maurice recently and ate at Jade daily. The food is delicious and the staff are extremely warm and attentive. Highly recommend if you enjoy Asian food (particularly the sushi, poke bowls and dumplings). Yashneel (the manager) does an excellent job, and his staff are lovely. Thank you to the fantatsic team who made our stay a memorable one.

I had a dinner offered by the Le merdian thanks to Zahra. Chef Nawang made this night unforgettable, delicious sea food (sushi, salmon and fish plate). Taste is really amazing and the atmosphere is wonderful. Thanks for Le merdian and chef and Jade restaurant. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Amazing oriental cuisine. Hard to find such good Asian vegetarian options outside of India. Was our go to dinner preference during our stay at Le Meredien.

Jade is a true gem in the culinary world, offering an exceptional dining experience that leaves a lasting impression. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere exudes warmth, and the service is nothing short of outstanding. A special mention goes to **Santy**, whose professionalism and kindness elevate the experience. Her dedication to ensuring guests feel welcomed and cared for makes her more than deserving of the **Employee of the Month** award! As for the food—it’s nothing less than spectacular. The **pasta** is simply divine, cooked to perfection with rich, flavorful sauces that delight the taste buds. The **salmon sushi** is incredibly fresh, balancing delicate textures with bold flavors that sushi lovers will surely appreciate. And then there’s the dessert—**the chocolate cake and ice cream** are an absolute dream. The cake is indulgently moist and rich, complemented by ice cream that melts perfectly, creating an unforgettable sweet experience.

We greatly enjoyed both breakfasts and dinner here. The breakfast team were delightful, the food and drinks were excellent and they were very attentive with our allergies (gluten and peanut). Once I let them know about my allergy, the next day they had delicious gluten free pancakes ready for me. For dinner, the chef came out to talk us through the menu and let us know what would be safe for us, they even had gluten free soy sauce. I would highly recommend.

Had been to the Jade restaurant in Le Meridien for a dinner and loved the food. The service was pretty quick, the food tasted super! It has decent vegetarian options and we enjoyed alot. The only problem is to comeback from the restaurant. Jade is almost at one end of the hotel and my room was at another end, but golf cart service was not provided while returning, so had to walk all the way with a cranky sleepy infant in my hands.

Delicious! We are staying at Le Meridien and I wandered over for lunch with my husband and two children. The food was so tasty and filling. We’ll be back!

Very nice

Best street food in the town! We had the rice, the baguettes and everything is amazing and people are very nice! Thank you!

Have had hundreds of kebab shawarma over the years near Grand Baie , and this place was by far the best . Didnt even get time to take a photo

Great interior. Good food. Decent price. Very high hospitality.

Best chiken briani and the kebab is nice too

Best place for lunch and can order foods for dinner or family gatherings 😍❤️

Very competitive with prices. Massive portions, quick service. Simple, local place to eat. Food was good, however, rice has been swimming in a sauce. Would recommend to clean chairs as looks like need a jet wash badly.

Lovely place, Antony the owner gave the best service, probanly becouse he was a Croydon boy which funny enought was my hood in my younger days #smalworld The food was delicious, we wil defenetly go back next time in Mauritius. 👌😃 Foys grill don'serve beer but you can bring you own if you ask nicely

Amazing food ans large portions. Had to get a doggy bag 👍🏽🍽

Foys Grill Sizzling Chicken Delight We recently enjoyed 4 delicious meals at Foys, featuring a sizzling chicken dish, boiled noodles with chicken, fried rice, and fried noodles. **Sizzling Chicken Dish: 9/10** The highlight of the meal was the sizzling chicken, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The tender chicken, black bean sauce, and colorful veggies created an aromatic and visually appealing experience. **Boiled Noodles with Chicken: 7/10** The boiled noodles were a comforting addition , with added chilli and vinegar seasoning to enhance the flavor of the tender chicken. **Fried Rice: 8/10** The fried rice was excellent, with perfectly separated grains and fresh prawns that added a lovely sweetness and depth. This dish was undoubtedly a standout. **Fried Noodles: 7/10** The fried noodles had a nice crunch and loads of flavour, complimented beautifully with the other dishes. **Overall Experience: 8/10** This meal was a flavorful journey, with the sizzling chicken and fried rice stealing the show. We're definitely going back to try the fresh grills! Highly recommend for a comforting, satisfying meal!

Food is Mauritian street food at its best, We had spicy chicken fritters (was lovely and not spicy, just delicately flavoured) and chicken and egg mi foon. With quality ingredients,, tender choice small pieces of chicken, shitake mushrooms and fresh veg, the portion sizes were generous and extremely enjoyable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience at Foy’s Grill! The service was excellent — friendly and quick. We tried the barbecue chicken, fried rice, noodles, and the Mauritian Chicken Salmi. Everything was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The Chicken Salmi, in particular, was a real standout — rich, aromatic,sightly spicy and authentically Mauritian. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious food and warm service . The prices are very reasonable for the portions they serve .

Discovered this place at Pte Aux Piments. I'f you're passing by just stop there and have a taste. The only restaurant I've seen around 3km where the quality and taste of the food hits a higher level compared to its price. To cut short, his dish is served every week on my table at home.

Wow! What an unforgettable dining experience! The food was absolutely divine – every bite was a burst of flavor and joy. But what made it truly special was the incredible team. Avish, Gobin, Nivis, Lelvin, Aniket, Panchoo D., and Shriya – you are AMAZING! So kind, welcoming, and full of positive energy. We felt like royalty! Can’t wait to come back. This place is a true gem!

Nice place by the sea, cool and breezy, the food was nice specially the pork ribs, the raw seafood dish was a bit odd to eat, rest was great.

One of the best fine dining restaurants I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend their 3 course tasting menu was just so delectable, every single dish is so appealing. Amazing views, Very nice place, the staff is super friendly, Nelisa the manager and her supervisor were extremely friendly and helpful.

Very disappointing experience Unfortunately, our visit to this restaurant was frustrating. The service was extremely poor and slow. The staff were unprofessional and made the experience uncomfortable. The food was below average and definitely not worth the wait. Honestly, I don’t recommend this place and I will not be coming back

I was reading the bad recommendations, and I really thought about going to this place… but don’t listen to these bad articles.. the food and service was amazing to us. The sommelier offered us a beautiful wine to our food and we‘ve enjoyed the evening with a proper view at the beach. We will definitely come hear again. Great place wonderful evening, thank you so much 😍😍

We had a few delicious meals here. The seafood was amazing, beautifully presented and lots of interesting flavours and textures. The staff were very kind and helpful. I have coeliac disease and my husband has a peanut allergy. This was taken very seriously and the chef came out to guide us through the menu and adapted certain options to make them safe for us. The beach front setting was so beautiful, we made the most of getting to eat somewhere so lovely during our stay.

The dinner experience was really terrible. Very small portions of meal, tasteless food, staff hospitality is terribly bad. Not at all innovative in any sense. I will not recommend it to anyone. Please save yourself.

Great view, but quality of food is mediocre only especially given the price USD 70 paid for the dinner buffet.

Great to experience their foods and we really enjoyed different kind of menu every dinner on our stay👍👍 All staffs are all kind and friendly they provide great service👍👍

What a fabulous place! We were not sure what to expect but the food blew us away. Had the Nomad Chicken Espetada and the Seafood Risotto. Hands down the best food we have had in a long time, and we love good food. Our only issue was that we were so full we could not manage dessert.... Oh well we will just have to come back! Coffee was also very, very good. Laid back atmosphere, perfect if you have kids as there is an attached play barn to keep them entertained. If I could give more stars I would. Well done Nomad.

Food was delicious and service perfect 😍 especially thanks Sandrine for beautiful service

The food here is pretty good but the service was lacking. No-one to greet us or seat us, they seemed understaffed. Only one coffee machine was working and since the waiter did not come by, I went to get cappuccino myself. The mugs were too small so the coffee overflows. Me and other guests waited in line to get coffee and we were pouring out part of the drinks as it was being dispensed because the mugs were too small. There is a serious issue with flies here, they were constantly around all the food and people. I saw someone eating with one hand and pushing away flies with the other

Loved the food in this really authentic Indian restaurant. Chef Rajinder Singh and team are doing a brilliant job. Loved the butter chicken, prawn curry and dal👍

Nice place, great staff, great food and service
