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 quenelles. Reservations are essential in the evening.

Sakura
Despite Grand Baie's wishy-washy dining scene, Sakura has managed to hold its own for 22 years – the faded decor is living proof. The friendly owners are present every evening waving to repeat customers and watching their skilled chefs fling ingredients in the air during the exhilarating teppanyaki shows. Reservations are essential if you want your meal cooked at your table.

Happy Rajah
Near one of the Tamil temples in a large wooden structure, Happy Rajah satisfies costumers with a large selection of surprisingly filling curries and stews. Lunches are served in the vestibule – if you come in the evening you'll eat in the more atmospheric dining room draped in oriental tapestries.

Coolen – Chez Ram
The clear local favourite among Royal Rd's endless parade of restaurants, Coolen is situated smack in the centre of tourist town but is usually filled to the brim with Mauritians. Customers are welcomed with fish cakes and a splash of rum while they thumb through the menu of Creole and seafood staples. Go for the fish in banana leaves (Rs 175) and make sure to save room for the banana flambé.

La Langouste Grisée
This is a restaurant frequented by the great and the good of Grand Baie, offering very stylish dining overlooking an attractive garden and a swimming pool–like pond. 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. Dishes from its imaginative Franco-Mauritian menu include Dorado fillet with peanut sauce and banana slices. Lobster is obviously the speciality and vegetarians really shouldn't bother coming.

Café Müller
This charming option is a great place to fill the belly for breakfast or lunch. As the name suggests, it's a German-run cafe and bakery that rustles up great sandwiches in a lovely grassy garden.

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.

Wakamé
Decorated with the usual Japanese austerity, this popular joint specialises in (yup, you guessed it) sushi and teppanyaki. A word to the wise: on Friday's all-you-can-eat-sushi night it's best to arrive late in the evening so all of the sushi saved from the night before has been eaten by earlier diners. To reach Wakamé follow the main road out to Pointe aux Canonnier beyond Hidden Reef – if you hit the giant plaster elephant you've gone too far.

Resto Bar Grand Baie
'The dilemma of having a successful restaurant is that it's always swamped with customers' said the cantankerous owner – a veritable Dr House of restaurateurs. 'So I closed my place in the centre of Grand Baie and moved here where it's nice and quiet.' We're not surprised that the diner-phobic chef once ran a popular joint – you won't find a better steak for the price. Order your beef bloody or rare – a well-done piece of meat is a 'crime against humanity'.

Max Gelato
Widely considered the best gelataria on the island, Max whips up a scrumptious assortment of flavours to cool you down after a day in the sun. We especially liked the vanilla cream and nutella. A half-kilo case of takeaway treats costs Rs 250.

L'Impasse
Homemade teas, fresh French- and Thai-inspired salads, and fish from the Seychelles makes this little eatery well worth finding. Follow the signs down a back alley – it's next door to the Vaco gallery in 'Dodo Square'.

Le Goût du Large
Let your nose guide you past the nightmarishly cramped parking lot – once you round the corner you'll find a scrumptious steaks and seafood served in a seaside pavilion. The Astroturf and tiki umbrellas feel a bit out of place, but you hardly notice them when the mood lighting kicks on after sunset.

Domaine
'Domaine' is the answer every local offers when travellers ask where to go to savour some Mauritian home cookin' while escaping the throngs of vacationers. So, naturally this inland haunt is starting to fill up with tourists. Go quick before someone else lets the cat out of the bag or tells the owner that his prices are remarkably low!

Cocoloko
Arranged around an inviting pebble-strewn courtyard across the street from the beach, Cocoloko has firmly established itself as one of Grand Baie's premiere it spots for lounging jetsetters. Familiar international fare – salads, steaks and pizza (or 'Pizzaloko' as it's known) – won't inspire devotion, but the atmosphere is very conducive to coffee sipping and cocktail clinking. There's free wi-fi for customers.

Café La Fournaise
Right at the junction of La Salette and Royal Rds, this popular coffee and snack shop has attempted a Starbucks-esque design scheme with trendy-yet-comfy catalogue furniture. The coffee earns top marks and it's a great place to escape the heat with cool blasts of air-con.

Boulette Ti Couloir
Follow the low-slung billboard for Paparazzi down a back alley to reach this tucked-away snack shop. As the name suggest, this microscopic joint really is just a ti couloir (li'l hallway) where a couple of women cook up savoury boulettes (steamed balls) to unending lines of locals.

Bistrot de Bacchus
Styled like an old cellar with rounded brick arches and alcoves, this wine bar and restaurant features a small menu of brasserie-inspired dishes. But here's the real beauty: all by-the-glass wine is served at retail rather than restaurant prices.

Beach House
Owned by a famous South African rugby player, this lively joint bustles with about as much energy as a sports match in overtime. The owner is often seen roaming around shirtless signing autographs, and the expat staff is usually just as surly. There is, however, a major draw: an unbeatable location smack dab along the lapping waves of Grand Baie's emerald lagoon. Skip the uninspired pub grub and come early for sunset cocktails – you'll have front-row seats and get to carouse with the other patrons before everyone's soused. There's live music on Sunday afternoons.
