If you have never had Mauritian cuisine, you are in for a treat…read more Le Mauritius - and the cognate Ile Reunion restaurants in the neighborhood, are some of the most interesting eating in Paris. * * * Mauritius is an African island nation in the Indian Ocean. Most of its historic trade patterns have been with India. The majority of the population is of mixed local-Indian descent. Not surprisingly, the cuisine is a mix of local and Indian descent. * * * Western colonialists installed sugar plantations on the island. This means the main local alcoholic beverage is rum. (Mauritius did not inherit India's distaste for alcoholic beverages.) Local artisanal rum is a thing. Infused rum is a thing. Rum drinks are absolutely fantastic. They do a coconut rum punch here that is an absolute world beater. The recipe is really simple. Take coconut milk. Mix with enough rum so it goes down easy. That means just a whole lot of rum. This is one of the sweetest and most potent alcoholic beverages you will ever have in your life. Bartender - bring me another thirty eight of those! * * * Mauritian food does a lot of beignets - which is their take on an Indian samosa. They also do a lot of hot sauces - which the Indians do too. The frying is wonderful regardless of what goes into your beignet. The sauces are to absolutely die for. The most unforgettable sauce is a standard one that you can make at home. Everyone makes this at home in Mauritius. They call it Piment but it is also Sauce Crazy. It is simply mashed up super-hot green chiles with mashed up green apple. You can add other stuff if you want - like salt or liquid. But the paste should be thick like horseradish. It should blow the top of your head off. It is INSANELY GOOD. Beignets that were already the stuff of legend went up to Valhalla with Piment Crazy on them. Rice and beans became a meal to remember forever with Piment Crazy on them. I was in heaven. * * * The main dish was a fish curry. It was mild but majorly majorly savory. It would have been absolutely terrific with Piment Crazy - and there was Piment Crazy in a bowl on my table. But the preparation straight out of the kitchen was too good to mess with. The accompaniment was rice and beans. The rice and beans DID get the sauce crazy. * * * Dessert was good here but would have been much much better in Mauritius itself. It was a coconut cake served with an English custard sauce. England was the last colonial power to rule over Mauritius. The British maintained slave plantations in Mauritius and were otherwise terrible overlords. But they did leave a tradition of English desserts as a modest and inadequate compensation. The coconut cake uses vast amounts of coconut. For a Global North setting - the coconut was not terrible. But anyone who has had fresh coconut just knocked off a tree in the tropics knows that coconuts put in a boat and shipped to Europe or the United States just aren't as good as the fresh local thing. I have had fresh coconut desserts in Brazil. Putting that amazing coconut in the Mauritian recipe with custard sauce And it would have been absolutely pure and unmitigated pleasure. * * * Still this was an utterly amazing meal. Five stars all the way and I want to go back. More so - I want to actually go to the Isle of Mauritius itself. The cooking at Paris's Le Mauritius is totally fantastic. Combine that level of amazing cooking with fresh tropical ingredients? I can't imagine food that would be any better. But if you are in Paris - Grab every opportunity you can to eat at Le Mauritius. You won't get food like this at home.

I came here with a friend for dinner on a rainy Saturday evening in July 2021. We had made an 8 PM…read morereservation on Google, and arrived around 8:15. The restaurant was still empty at the time we got there and pretty much stayed that way the whole meal, as there was only 1 other table occupied the whole evening. My friend and I had picked this restaurant because the cuisine was quite different from a lot of the other restaurants we typically frequent in Paris (sushi, Thai, Italian, etc.) and we wanted to feel like we were taking a bit of a culinary voyage without actually leaving Paris. We were not disappointed! I ordered the sausage stew, which was very flavorful and hearty, perfect for the dismal weather that evening. My friend got a chicken curry, which she really enjoyed. In addition to mains, we ordered 1 appetizer each; I got the vegetable beignets and my friend got the cod fritters. I tried the cod fritters and ended up preferring them to my own appetizer, as they were really savory and flavorful. For dessert we ordered a banana flambé and a baked Alaska. These were probably the part of the meal we liked the least. The banana tasted too strongly if alcohol in the end, so my friend only found up nibbling a bit of it. The baked Alaska was less alcohol-tasting but overall seemed to be just a scoop of ice cream set briefly aflame. The server made an effort to keep the flames going for us to take pictures which was super sweet. The ambiance of the restaurant could have beeb improved; at the time we were there, the restaurant looked like it was half packed up, with boxes and chairs stacked in the middle if the dining area. It would probably be nicer to eat outside when the weather is nice. Overall, a cool place to get some unique cuisine in Paris.

Tiny place in the Champs Elysées (you actually need to go rue du Colisée and enter in a shopping…read moregalery just on the Right and it's at the end of the gallery. They open at lunch time but you can also order food for parties and events. This is actually how I know them but I also went there for take away but also to have lunch with a friend. The menu change every day and it's really good. It's typical food from Mauritius (ile Maurice) and reunion island. It's excellent. I am a fan of rougail saucisses so each time they have this, this is what I eat. I am not a big fan of their samosas, so if you want a starter as part of the menu ok but it's not a must have. The menu with main starter and drink is at 15 euros. Good deal looking at the area and the quantity of food you get. And we don't often find this type of food so when I want something different from Chinese pasta or pizza, this is were I go and that how I travel I lunch to the over side of the world

The space is tiny hence must reserve approx. 2-3 weeks in advance. The staffs are amazing, food is absolutely the best and portions are huge! We took the leftovers home and heated it up next morning. It was just as amazing as the dinner the night before. Definitely worth every cent and hit the spicy spot I had. I will definitely go back the next time I visit Paris.

The place is small but comfortable and well arranged. They often have works of different Indian Ocean artists exposed inside so you can enjoy good food in a nice environment at the same time. Highly recommend it and already invited several of my friends there. If you want to taste food or alcohol drinks with a sunny tropical island flavor in the middle of Paris, you can go there
