Dining in Grand Baie — The Essential Guide

Mauritius’s Resort Town at Table

Grand Baie is Mauritius’s most popular resort destination — the northern coast village that has grown around the turquoise lagoon and the coral reef system that makes this stretch of coast the most popular on the island. The dining scene that has developed here reflects the international community that Grand Baie has attracted: La Kaza’s ocean-to-plate lobster, La Goélette at the Royal Palm Beachcomber’s refined luxury hotel dining, and Chinese Garden’s Peking red snapper all represent different expressions of what happens when the Indian Ocean’s extraordinary seafood abundance meets the full range of culinary traditions that Mauritius’s multicultural history has generated.

Sunset Boulevard provides the most compelling outdoor dining backdrop in northern Mauritius: the road that faces the Indian Ocean to the west, where the sun sets over the water in a display that Grand Baie’s restaurants — La Kaza and Sauterelle both occupy prime positions — use as the primary argument for the evening.
