La Flore Mauricienne
There's something rather Parisian about the bustle and brusque service here, but then this is a long-standing favourite lunchtime haunt of the local business and political elite as well as tourists. The daily specials are always good value, and there's a big selection of dishes including a good vegetarian choice. Inside it's a more formal setting, whereas the terrace is a great place to people watch.

Mystic Masala
Tasty Indian snacks and light meals are the order of the day at this harbourfront kiosk with its handful of trestle tables. Portions aren't huge but a side order of samosas or a dosa masala (pancake-like bread with a spicy potato filling) and a glass of lassi (yoghurt drink) or alouda (sweet, milky drink) will round things off nicely.

Stalls
Port Louis is a snackers' paradise. The Central Market and bus stations provide happy hunting grounds, but you'll find stalls all over town peddling samosas and gâteaux piments (deep-fried balls of lentils and chilli), sandwiches or more substantial curries. To spot the best just look for the queues from mid-morning onwards.

Restaurant du Vieux Conseil
Down a charming side street, this lunchtime institution must have the most delightful location of any restaurant in Port Louis. The food is nothing spectacular, and somewhat pricey, but there's a good choice from crepes and salads to octopus curry and smoked marlin, and the charming setting is worth making a diversion for.

Namaste
One of the best Indian restaurants in town, Namaste manages to be atmospheric despite its location in the sanitised Caudan Waterfront. The specialities here are North Indian (and not huge either), but it's a classy place with excellent service. Book ahead to get a table on the balcony outside as they're always in demand.

Debonairs Pizza
The pizza at this fast-spreading South African chain is nothing special, but it's a good place for a quick and cheap lunch. There are tables inside, but take away and delivery is available ('we deliver smartly' is the restaurant's slightly odd tagline), as are a number of non-pizza options including tasty subs.

First Restaurant
If the age-old rule that a good Chinese restaurant is full of Chinese diners applies, then First is a winner. Packed with large family groups enjoying vast feasts of delicious Cantonese cooking, this is Chinatown's finest and prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality of the fare.

Black Steer
This popular steakhouse overlooks the harbour and offers great steaks, mixed grills, combos and the like. It's now added a few dishes for non-carnivores, such as baked spuds and vegetable curries, but its stock in trade are the excellent hamburgers and rump steaks.
