Where to eat Cajun & Creole food in Grand Baie: The Best Restaurants and Bars

May 18, 2020 Renato Branum

Find out what Cajun & Creole restaurants to try in Grand Baie. With lively restaurants, white-sand beaches, ever-expanding resorts and a natural harbor, Grand Baie is fertile tourist ground. Located on the northwest coast of Mauritius, its fashion and craft shops appeal to landlubbers, while swimming, sailing and windsurfing enthusiasts frolic in the emerald Indian Ocean. Glass-bottom boat trips provide a window on the underwater world, but for a one-of-a-kind experience, board a two-person submarine and cruise beneath the surface with the tropical fish.

Had dinner here a couple of times. The restaurant is on the other side of the road to Pereybere public beach. The food is very tasty and fresh. The have several ready menu options that you can choose from or if you don’t want to eat a pre-set menu they also have a large variety of starters, snacks, salads, main courses and desserts. The mauritanian foods are really nice so try them out if you want to taste something a bit different. They also have the ”safe” options chips, beef and chicken if you don’t want to taste any new flavours. I myself loved the seafood, chunky, juicy prawns with a lot of flavour. The prices are medium range, you might find something cheaper, but if you do you might not get as good food as from here. Will definitely come back.Au top,grand merci à vous.CordialementLe Bénitier

La Rougaille Creole

Reviewed By eatgosee

LA ROUGAILLE CREOLE, 2 mains, 2 rum cocktails, 1 small local beer, 2 low calorie colas: MUR1780 (US$50, £41, AED180)Creole food is many things to many people: Afro-Brazilian, US Louisiana, Seychellois, Criollo. It’s a big brush, a broad roof to house a people rooting back to colonial immigration. Europeans leaving to settle in Africa, Latin America, my West Indies and the Southern United States. It’s the slave trade triangle, an ethnic diaspora and the resulting melange of people, food and language. So step forward La Rougaille Creole: a seafood Mauritian creole restaurant tucked a back street in Grand Baie (or Grand Bay). I asked a shop owner if it was a good place to eat great local food: she smiled and nodded which was all the approval I needed. It’s a modest restaurant with honey-wooden furniture and sunset orange walls. The menu welcomes you to the restaurant calling out that it’s focus in clearly creole and angels towards seafood. We needed no further signalling - we were picking up what they’re putting down. Other options are available should someone in your group not care for creole nor seafood (but it makes this place an odd choice!). We opted for the curried fish with aubergine and a curried crab with aubergine. The waiter warned me that it’s a delicious dish but the crab is cooked whole and it takes some time. My inner id was triggered; wide eyed and anxious. The scarlet crabs dipped in yellow curry arrive chopped into segments accompanied with rice, salad and a type of soft, local yellow pumpkin. It’s a plate nostalgia served without ceremony but with personal significance. I’ll spare you the personal journey of this dish (which takes easily an hour to finish properly). The aubergine is a very pleasant addition that lends little flavour itself but serves as an obedient sponge to dutifully absorb this unctuous curry sauce. The crab’s distinct natural sweetness balances the dish out. If you are reluctant to fish every morsel of crab, you get 80% of what you need in the meaty crab backs and claws. The backs are soft and tear apart easily with you hands. Oh yes, this is a dish for your hands. It comes with a crab claw cracker and spike, which is thoughtful. There is no discernible coconut milk in this dish which is no big loss. It means the sauce is more prominent and it doesn’t dull the crab. The fish curry is another generous dish but considerably easier to eat. The long slices of aubergine plays a grassy role. Coconut milk would be a good addition to this dish to bring it all together and provide some richness. I should mention we were given a complimentary starter of deep fried aubergine slices in a thick batter with a citrusy-sour-meet-spicy dipping sauce. The unseasoned batter and naturally bland aubergine are unremarkable leaving it all to the tangy spicy dipping sauce to make a mark. To wash this all down we indulged in Phoenix, a local Mauritian beer, and two rum cocktails made with fresh juice. Service is friendly and quick: this is not always a given based on some horror stories we learned from other travellers.Would I return to La Rougaille Creole?I admit nostalgia played a heavy hand in this experience. But it delivered. Nostalgia is a fickle mistress; sometimes makes you a voracious critic when authenticity fails to be achieved. It can also put the wind in the wings of a dish unintentionally triggering memories. I would definitely return nonetheless to find the courage to resist that crab dish and eat more of the menu. Should you go to La Rougaille Creole?Yes, you should step away from the hotel fodder including their sanitised renditions of creole food. #creole #mauritius #mauritianfood #crab #beer #cocktails #curry

I’ve been coming here for 25 years every time I visit the island and Chez Ram never disappoints. The fresh caught, grilled Lobster here is simply the best I’ve ever tasted ... ANYWHERE.This place deserves a Michelin star for its simple yet exquisite cuisine. Crab Gratin is another exceptional dish and the Salade d’Ourite (octopus salad) is ‘sensationelle’.Thank you family Coolen for your insatiable desire to deliver the best fresh food in the region. You are the best!!
