Palais de Barbizon

While the restaurant's appearance does not strike at first sight, its kitchen will win you over immediately. Dishing up Mauritian flavours from a family-owned cookbook, and waiting tables without as little as a fixed menu, Barbizon is said to be of Mauritian authenticity at its peak, so it is no wonder that it can get busy quite fast – booking ahead is recommended.

Eureka

This Maison Créole serves flavours typical of the island's blended kitchen, and its menu is as diverse as the culture of Mauritius itself. While the broad selection of traditional dishes (and especially curries) invites you to deeply immerse yourself into the local cuisine, the beautiful and well-tended garden allows you to enjoy the nature at its best – with typical Mauritian teas that you can also buy afterwards.

Le Fangourin

In the garden of Beau Plan and at the heart of L'Aventure de Sucre, the sugar museum of Mauritius, you will find your very own treat, both savoury and sweet. With its festive and refined cuisine, The Fagourin is inspired by the manifold flavours of the unique Mauritian kitchen; they are willing to preserve local tradition as well as sustain their beautiful surroundings: a picturesque pond, century-old vegetation and a charming veranda overlooking the central plateau's mountains.

Le Café des Arts

Le Café des Arts aspires to combine art and gastronomy in the same way the different cultures of Mauritius grew together back in the day. While infusing their menu with cultural and artistic value, they also include classic European dishes into their interpretation of traditional Mauritian cuisine. Art and creativity can be both seen on the plate and tasted in the dish; the restaurant is also part of an art gallery and a museum close by.

Frenchie Café

The influence of French tradition is more than plain to see upon entering Frenchie Café, as they serve traditional dishes nearly all day long: for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every Saturday night, however, the atmosphere gets more international, as DJs transform the restaurant into a hip and cheerful cocktail bar.
