Chinese Garden — Chinese / Mauritian Seafood, Grand Baie
Chinese Garden is loved in Grand Baie for its fresh seafood: from lobster and crab to the famous Peking red snapper, all served from relaxed terrace seating that provides the informal atmosphere that the Chinese dining tradition at its most accessible naturally produces.
The cooking takes the Chinese approach to seafood — the Cantonese steaming techniques, the Sichuan spice applications, and the Peking cooking methods that have made Chinese seafood cooking one of the world’s great culinary traditions — and applies it to the Indian Ocean catch that Mauritius provides.
The Peking red snapper is the restaurant’s most celebrated dish: the whole fish roasted in the Peking manner, arriving at the table with the crispy skin and the rich sauce that the method produces at its finest.
Chinese Garden is the Grand Baie restaurant for those who want the Indian Ocean seafood in its Chinese culinary expression: genuinely fresh, generously prepared, and accessible in both price and atmosphere.
