L'envol
Mauritius
L'envol in Tamarin, Mauritius, is a boutique pizzeria where the essence of Italian cuisine is harmoniously combined with the unique warmth of Mauritian hospitality. Nestled along the picturesque coastal road, L'envol offers a haven for pizza enthusiasts who appreciate the art of Neapolitan pizza-making. Here, the chefs are devoted to their craft, ensuring that every aspect of the pizza is perfected through careful techniques and high-quality ingredients.
The culinary journey at L'envol is defined by three core elements: a meticulously crafted pizza dough, a simple yet vibrant sauce, and the skilled hand of a dedicated pizzaiolo. The dough is lovingly kneaded and allowed to ferment for a minimum of 48 hours, resulting in a base that is light, flavorful, and easily digestible. The sauce, made from ripe Italian tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic, is both simple and rich in taste, allowing the freshness of the ingredients to shine. These elements are combined and baked in a high-temperature oven to deliver a classic Neapolitan pizza experience.
Adding to its appeal, L'envol sources key components from Italy, such as San Marzano tomatoes and fior di latte cheese, while other fresh ingredients are locally sourced, reflecting the contemporary culinary style of Mauritius. Guests can also enjoy a selection of house specialties and signature dishes that complement the pizza offerings.
The atmosphere at L'envol is relaxed yet refined, creating a welcoming environment for diners to unwind and enjoy their meal. The seating under softly glowing lamps provides an intimate setting shielded from the gentle coastal breezes, perfect for an evening gathering. L'envol is well-suited for small groups and families who wish to share an authentic taste of Italy with a local twist.

The best dinner spot on Mauritius! We ordered pizza both with and without tomato base-the truffle one Il Volo was absolutely top-notch. The lasagna was delicious, and the salad with veggies and artichokes came in a huge portion. Everything was fresh and packed with flavor. Fast service, friendly staff, and open until 10:30 PM-a lifesaver on Sundays when the whole island shuts down early. We were blown away. Highly recommend!
The staff were very welcoming and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The food arrive very quickly also. The pizza was honestly the best I've ever tasted fresh, delicious, and full of flavour. I highly recommend this place to anyone.
A very good place! Definitely recommend! There was almost full restaurant at 8:20pm, but service was super fast and professional! Food was ready very fast also, what is not typical for the island. Food: pizza was so delicious, reminds me Italy. Main ingredients like the flour and cheese are definitely of excellent quality. Salad was filling and good quality too.
Very warm welcome from the owners and staff. The pizza are really great, real dough prepared long time in advance, crunchy crust and only the best, imported toppings. Any pizza, from the tasty 4-cheese to the pistachio are great. And not to forget the deserts… try the ‘brioche perdue’ by all means!! Will certainly return!
