If you’re exploring the top rated restaurants in Mauritius, try heading to the village of Mahebourg. It’s less touristy but has some truly well-regarded spots where locals dine. Some of the best seafood catches come fresh from here, and you’ll find a laid-back vibe that lets you enjoy your meal without the rush you get in Grand Baie or Flic en Flac. Also, don’t overlook the weekdays during the shoulder season, such as October or April, when restaurants are lively but not overcrowded.
