"Built over the lagoon at La Pirogue, Magenta is Flic en Flac's seafood occasion — book the four-course menu for lobster and a sunset table."
Magenta is the seafood restaurant at La Pirogue Resort & Spa, the Sun Resorts property that has stood on the Wolmar lagoon at Flic en Flac since 1976. The room is built over the water, and the kitchen works almost entirely from the day's catch, served as a four-course menu or à la carte. Dinner runs nightly except Sundays, and a full seafood meal sits in the $$$ range.
The cooking centres on Mauritian seafood: lobster, giant prawns, scallops and oysters, opened with a lobster bisque and built into a four-course set menu that changes with the catch. Preparations stay simple — grilled, in butter or with light local spicing — so the freshness of the fish leads rather than the sauce.
The draw is the setting: tables over the lagoon, lamplight on the water and the sound of the Indian Ocean, with service from a long-serving resort team. It is the dressier of La Pirogue's restaurants and made for a sunset booking rather than a quick bite.
For an anniversary or a celebration on Mauritius's west coast, Magenta is the seafood booking: a four-course menu of lobster and prawns at a table set over the lagoon as the sun goes down.
Not for budget travellers or anyone wanting a quick casual meal — this is a resort fine-dining seafood room with set-menu pacing and resort pricing, closed on Sundays.
