Le Pescatore - St Pierre

Propose of visit Business lunch. Visited in Mauritius winter. It was a perfect sunny day, with nice sea breeze. We were seated on the sea facing corner, and it was a delight having lunch with the view. If you are looking for a romantic venue, or even a casual business meeting for a post project debrief, this could be a perfect spot. Food is nice, and freshly prepared. Portions are adequate. Prices though might be on the upside. However, this is a little premium you would have to pay to be in this sea facing restaurant. Will I go again? Yes!

We were expecting so much from this restaurant because of the reviews, but sadly it did not quite get there for us. Positives first. It is very picturesque and the tables are beautifully laid. The restaurant itself is very pretty and nicy decorated. The hors d'oeuvres were unexpected but delicious small crackers with some sort of fish mousse we could quite happily eaten a plateful each! Calamari as a starter was OK but rather bland. Main courses fish of the day and lamb were very nice, but we felt they were both lacking something. Our server was very austere, and although was courteous, did make us feel a little as if we were a burden. Everywhere else we have eaten, service has been lovely and it is one of the things we love most about Mauritius, the people. We always choose a rental over a hotel so we can eat locally for this reason Staff training on how to smile would be a start!

Can't give it anything but 5 stars. Sensational meal. We took the lunch 4 course menu amazing tuna tartare, shaved calamari in sea urchin sauce, pan fried local seabream with rice and a pineapple and coconut mouse dessert. All four courses were faultless delish! Service was also top notch.

We went for a dinner as a couple and had a nice evening. The food is tasty but price for value is not at par. Given you pay a premium to eat here one can expect premium service, however as soon as the boss left the room the waiters didn't care any more and just dropped our dishes and did not even ask if we'd like to drink something else (e.g., my husband was planning to get a red wine for his main but nobody came so we just let it go) nobody refilled our water glasses even though we still had a bottle in the cooler. It's small things yes, but if you want to play in the premium league I think one can expect this kind of service.

Restaurant on the beach with nicely decorated tables. Good service and quality of the seafood. Dishes were simply good, not exceptional to my taste.
