Iâve been coming here for 25 years every time I visit the island and Chez Ram never disappoints. The fresh caught, grilled Lobster here is simply the best Iâve ever tasted ... ANYWHERE.This place deserves a Michelin star for its simple yet exquisite cuisine. Crab Gratin is another exceptional dish and the Salade dâOurite (octopus salad) is âsensationelleâ.Thank you family Coolen for your insatiable desire to deliver the best fresh food in the region. You are the best!!

LA ROUGAILLE CREOLE, 2 mains, 2 rum cocktails, 1 small local beer, 2 low calorie colas: MUR1780 (US$50, £41, AED180)Creole food is many things to many people: Afro-Brazilian, US Louisiana, Seychellois, Criollo. Itâs a big brush, a broad roof to house a people rooting back to colonial immigration. Europeans leaving to settle in Africa, Latin America, my West Indies and the Southern United States. Itâs the slave trade triangle, an ethnic diaspora and the resulting melange of people, food and language. So step forward La Rougaille Creole: a seafood Mauritian creole restaurant tucked a back street in Grand Baie (or Grand Bay). I asked a shop owner if it was a good place to eat great local food: she smiled and nodded which was all the approval I needed. Itâs a modest restaurant with honey-wooden furniture and sunset orange walls. The menu welcomes you to the restaurant calling out that itâs focus in clearly creole and angels towards seafood. We needed no further signalling - we were picking up what theyâre putting down. Other options are available should someone in your group not care for creole nor seafood (but it makes this place an odd choice!). We opted for the curried fish with aubergine and a curried crab with aubergine. The waiter warned me that itâs a delicious dish but the crab is cooked whole and it takes some time. My inner id was triggered; wide eyed and anxious. The scarlet crabs dipped in yellow curry arrive chopped into segments accompanied with rice, salad and a type of soft, local yellow pumpkin. Itâs a plate nostalgia served without ceremony but with personal significance. Iâll spare you the personal journey of this dish (which takes easily an hour to finish properly). The aubergine is a very pleasant addition that lends little flavour itself but serves as an obedient sponge to dutifully absorb this unctuous curry sauce. The crabâs distinct natural sweetness balances the dish out. If you are reluctant to fish every morsel of crab, you get 80% of what you need in the meaty crab backs and claws. The backs are soft and tear apart easily with you hands. Oh yes, this is a dish for your hands. It comes with a crab claw cracker and spike, which is thoughtful. There is no discernible coconut milk in this dish which is no big loss. It means the sauce is more prominent and it doesnât dull the crab. The fish curry is another generous dish but considerably easier to eat. The long slices of aubergine plays a grassy role. Coconut milk would be a good addition to this dish to bring it all together and provide some richness. I should mention we were given a complimentary starter of deep fried aubergine slices in a thick batter with a citrusy-sour-meet-spicy dipping sauce. The unseasoned batter and naturally bland aubergine are unremarkable leaving it all to the tangy spicy dipping sauce to make a mark. To wash this all down we indulged in Phoenix, a local Mauritian beer, and two rum cocktails made with fresh juice. Service is friendly and quick: this is not always a given based on some horror stories we learned from other travellers.Would I return to La Rougaille Creole?I admit nostalgia played a heavy hand in this experience. But it delivered. Nostalgia is a fickle mistress; sometimes makes you a voracious critic when authenticity fails to be achieved. It can also put the wind in the wings of a dish unintentionally triggering memories. I would definitely return nonetheless to find the courage to resist that crab dish and eat more of the menu. Should you go to La Rougaille Creole?Yes, you should step away from the hotel fodder including their sanitised renditions of creole food. #creole #mauritius #mauritianfood #crab #beer #cocktails #curry

A hundred metres off Grand Baie's main street in Racket Road. Well worth seeking out. Tiny restaurant with eclectic decor, menu and music. Delicious and varied menu and great fresh juices. Excellent value for money and attentive service by the owner himself.Hi Robert H, Thank you for your superb review and rating, it means a lot to the team! We hope we get to serve you again sometime soon :). Take care from Dalon's team

Feast on authentic dishes at the Creole SmokeHouse which offers a unique opportunity to experience ultimate nature in the shade of an ancient Banyan tree, one of the oldest in Mauritius, away from luxury and sophistication.
We booked into the creole smoke house at late notice, however was given a table for 1930. Great atmosphere and picturesque setting. The food was amazing I had octopus salad and beef brisket. My wife had roasted vegetables which was tasty! Dookun and thannen were great and service was excellent. To be honest the customer service is awesome throughout the hotel, We will be visiting again. Thank you guys.

Linda offers typical Mauritian dishes as well as food from around the world for those not brave enough to tackle creole spices ! During the day, you can enjoy a nice coffee with our famous banana tart or sip on a cold milkshake. At Linda's Place is a smal
AT LINDAâS PLACE, 1 starter, 2 mains, 1 dessert, 2 cocktails, 1 beer: MUR1800 ($US50, £42, AED185).Calling At Lindaâs Place a restaurant is partially misleading. The word ârestaurantâ feels formal just in name. Perhaps it is why we started to see places reach for the thesaurus in search of familiarity, warmth and democratising our want to go out to eat. Michelin chefs pivoted away from their stars to open a âsocialâ, a gastropub, a townhouse.A subtle nuance that shed the ârestaurant conceptâ of preconceptions. It is a bolt cutter that emancipates the owner of: ⢠heavy, luxurious velvet draft shielding curtains⢠menus written solely in a language foreign to the country in which it is based⢠biblically long wine menus⢠cutlery table settings resembling a sterilised surgical trayYou get the point.So step forward a venture into dining casual whose only passing resemblance to a restaurant is the presence of tables, chairs and food in exchange for payment. Crossing the threshold At Lindaâs Place is to step into a living room. Warm, incandescent sunset walls juxtaposed with cooling teal and decorated with crafts and souvenirs gifted by customers. You could be forgiven into believing this was the Swiss consulate with the number of Swiss flags. We learned that Linda was born in Switzerland so these flags regularly appear as offerings to the chef.Lindaâs Place screams of unpretentious casual, kick-your-shoes-off and get comfortable. There is an outside seating area, cozy nook made for drinking with friends and photos and pictures on the wall.Our host for the evening is Lindaâs son: Andy. He walks us through the menu dish by dish. Itâs a tale of two hemispheres up north is Creole and the south is international. However, not everything is available today. Our host tells us Linda will only prepares the curried fish if a certain type of fish is available in the market; today was not our day. Some will snub this idea and in another place I would feel the same. This somehow feeds into the acceptance by me that this is not a ârestaurantâ. A broad selection of flavoured rums lay on a shoe rack. Our host, Andy, is to rum what Bubba was to shrimp making both me and Mrs EatGoSee his devout Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan. He talks with experience and to a level of detail that about local rum that shows more than just a passing interest. Itâs a clear passion reflected in everything from bottles and infusions. He talks about successes, failures, trial and tribulations. We sample his Banana and Haribo rum (no typo) before the arrival of our mains. We would sample this again in his one dessert on the menu. Our crumbed prawn starters arrive thick in a rough golden crust that cracks with each bite. It is paired with two chilli sauces: one closely resembling a Thai sweet chilli and the second is a citrusy lemon chilli sauce. The latter is one of the sonâs creations as he talks us through the process; apparently this type of local lemon is tricky business to work with. The starters are home-style, enjoyable and simple.The mains of butter chicken and curried chicken both arrive with rice with sides of black lentils and a homemade apple chutney with turmeric. Itâs another home style dish with generous portions: the curried leg of chicken is a hearty yellow curry. The butter chicken is boneless (if you prefer meat without bones), mild and without the third ring of hell spice that sometimes plagues this dish. There are too many curry houses worldwide that channel scovilles through butter chicken in some gastronomic test of masculinity; this is more reserved but delivers on creaminess and overall flavour.After a long, enjoyable discussion about the comparative rum making methods of Mauritian and Trinidadian rum, we review the dessert options and settle on the only dessert Andy is allowed on the menu: vanilla ice cream with a healthy dose of mixed spiced fruit submerged into one of his handcrafted rums.... for the last six years. We obviously opted for this option. A assertive punch of alcohol is cooled with the milky ice cream leaving behind the sweet tartness of the fruit in the balance. You are left with a reminiscent Christmas pudding flavour but without the cake (gluten friendly perhaps? Donât quote me).Would I return to At Lindaâs Place? Absolutely, in fact, I am sorely disappointed I did not come here earlier. It ticks a number of boxes. You can come here on your own and have a surprisingly engaging evening. You can come with a partner or friend especially if you like to chat with people and get to know everyone â the couple adjacent to us also became part of the conversations. You could come here with a group of friends slumped in the bar drinking homemade rum and talking to Andy all night (allowing him to get food out to people). This is not the best food you will ever have; it is also not trying to be either. There is a welcomed departure here from the meticulously manicured swaths of Mauritius to a grounded eatery putting the family back into family restaurant. Thereâs enough fine dining restaurants throughout Mauritius. Sometimes it is nice to be welcomed home.Hi Eatgosee and your Mrs.So many thanks for your review. It went right to our hearts. My son and myself do our best to make guests feel at home and eat just the way we eat at HOME. Just a little question.... Are you an author? If not, may be you should put yourself to it. I'm sure you'll write a BEST SELLER. Hope to see you again in our restaurant, sorry "in our living room".Once again, many thanks and warm greetings from Mauritius, Andy and myself.
