2 Best Restaurants in Mauritius

On a private peninsula, just 15 minutes from the airport and across from the historical village of Mahébourg, the Preskil Beach Resort shelters one of the island’s best steakhouses. Their high-quality meats are imported from South Africa, and the fish and seafood come from the day’s catch. Complement your meal with a traditional Ti' Punch, or choose from a number of South Africa's finest wines. Outdoor seating on the beach is offered. Inside, the atmosphere is refined and romantic with a contemporary décor in warm tones and African motifs.

No one knows meat like South Africans, and owner-chef Gerard Samouilhan proves it every day at Medium Rare Steakhouse. The restaurant offers a variety of steaks, from sirloin to ribs, cooked to perfection with your choice of sauces, including garlic, mushroom and onion, and blue-cheese, among others. French fries and onion rings are crowd-pleasers, and their burgers are outstanding. It’s no surprise that the place gets very crowded at lunchtime. Friendly service and great value make this a spot well worth a stop. The pleasing venue also displays works of arts for sale.
