Alchemy
This friendly place set back from the coastal road is a great mix of bar and grill. The pizzas are cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven and are excellent, plus there's a big range of steaks and seafood, and imaginative daily specials.
-
Café Müller
This charming addition to Grand Baie's café scene is a great place for breakfast or a light lunch. As the name suggests, it's a German-run café and bakery that rustles up great sandwiches in a lovely grassy garden.
-
Crok Chaud
The best coffee in town, hands down, and a damn fine little patisserie, this roadside gem is a great place to start the day, indulge in a mid-morning cake or have a nice lunch.
-
Don Camillo
Despite its unpromising location beside the Caltex petrol station, Don Camillo is a great place to taste real pizza. In the evening it's positively buzzing - either get there early or reserve.
-
Ebisu
Sharing the same site and management as La Langouste Grisée, Ebisu offers a sushi bar as well as more substantial teppanyaki theatrics. Reservations are advised in the evenings.
-
Fusion
Possibly the most self-consciously fashionable dining option in Grand Baie, Fusion looks just as it sounds - flash, minimalist, sleek and a little intimidating. You'll see the smart set out for dinner here, sampling fusion-flavoured Mauritian-Asian cooking.
-
Iguana Lounge
Next to Fusion and incongruously situated facing an Esso garage, Iguana Lounge is one of our favourite places in town. For upscale Mexican - excellent burritos and chili con carne - look no further. Reserve a table in the charming back garden as they're hard to come by otherwise.
-
L'Épicerie Gourmand
For a real treat, L'Épicerie Gourmand is a treasure-trove of imported delicacies including cheese, ham and pâté. It also sells luscious cakes and pastries and ice cream.
-
La Langouste Grisée
This is a restaurant frequented by the great and the good of Grand Baie, offering very stylish dining in an attractive garden overlooking a pond as well as charming indoor tables. As a winner of the Fourchette d'Or in 2005, 'the Tipsy Lobster' is generally recognised as one of the best restaurants on the island. Sample dishes from its imaginative Franco-Mauritian menu include Dorado fillet, peanut sauce and banana slices. Lobster is obviously the speciality and vegetarians really shouldn't bother coming.
-
La Vieille Rouge
The red snapper isn't exactly a find, but it's one of Grand Baie's more reliable budget eateries. You'll find a standard selection of Creole curries, Chinese dishes, fresh fish and so forth. It's all tasty and comes in decent portions, although the set menu seems a little steep.

Le Capitaine
This is a popular place serving good standard seafood and fish dishes in a pleasant convivial space that combines style with informality and great bay views. Fresh lobster is the pick of the menu, while other delicious mains include whole crab cooked in white wine, and lobster ravioli with fresh mushroom and cucumber quenelle. Reservations are essential in the evening.
-
Le Tandoor
Excellent Indian cooking makes Le Tandoor stand out amid some stiff competition in Grand Baie. Even though it's located on the main road, there's quite a buzz each evening (reservations advised) as the place hums to hungry travellers enjoying excellent curries, naans and tandoori dishes.
-
Luigi's
Classic little trattoria serving authentic pizza and pasta dishes plus a range of daily specials, such as seafood gnocchi. Make sure you leave room for one of the scrumptious deserts.
-
Paparazzi
This smart pizza restaurant on the second floor of Sunset Boulevard (on the non-bay side) is a winner. It's far pricier than any other pizzeria in Mauritius, but the quality suggests why. There's free delivery if you're feeling lazy.
-
Thai Foon
Newly opened in 2006 by the original team behind Pereybère's Wang Thai, authenticity is the watchword at Thai Foon. This means fresh ingredients imported from Bangkok, a Thai chef and some excellent Thai cocktails. The eating space is stylish but relaxed, with outside seating available.
