Safran

With stunning views of the water and outlying islands, Safran, part of Trou d'eau Douce’s Le Touessrok resort on the east coast, is probably the finest Indian restaurant in the country. Its menus, overseen by Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar, combine classic Eastern flavours with Western cooking methods – try spiced pineapple in coconut milk or palm-heart kofte.

La Goélette

Overlooking the sea, this fine-dining restaurant, part of the Royal Palm hotel in the far north of Mauritius, has justly gained an international reputation for its beautiful French-Mauritian cuisine, which makes excellent use of local ingredients. It’s surely one of the only places in the world where you can sit beneath chandeliers and feel a sea breeze on your face.
