Grill Restaurants in Mauritius

Grill restaurants in Mauritius

A grill in Mauritius usually means fish and meat over open heat, near the water, in the evening. The island's grills cluster on the west coast for a straightforward reason: that is the side the sun sets on, and the beachfront restaurants there are built around it.

The cooking suits the produce. Whole fish, prawns and octopus take heat well and need very little done to them, and the standard accompaniments are Creole rather than European — a rougaille, a chilli sauce, rice or lentils. Book early for a table near the water; those are the first to go.
