Description: Opened only from Monday to Friday for lunches only. Give us a phone call for availibility. A Creole traditional restaurant in Mauritius, a unique know-how .... Between the famous Rougaille Creole sausage, cang mocked cabbage and salted fish, traditional curry chicken creole, or broth 'zourite and coconut chutney' Escale Creole remains the TABLE where you and your guests can make the unique experience of a "real Manze Lacaze" , hearty and generous !!! In a large veranda, we can serve between 2 and 50 seats on large tables with traditional gingham tablecloths. Our "table d'hote" allows each client to help himself laid flat on the table well Mauritian way, so that everyone is free to be reserved if desired

Fantastic atmosphere - great food! We were really welcomed to the setting by the most amazing owner,, she had a beautiful smile and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome - we went for the experience of authentic food and that was exactly what we got. The food came in beautiful pots - the aroma surrounding us,,the contents explained! Fab day out and wonderful magical place.

the place in really nice, setting and the people just so welcoming and warm :) they were so relaxed and understanding because we got lost, the sign is a bit small.
the food was not to our liking, but i have to say that it was on our last day and i personally was felling a bit sick, so probably the overall impression was a bit ruined with all that. i would recommend to go there on the beginning of your visit to mauritius :)

My first visit there is one to remember . Majo & Christine cuisine is second to none. If you want to taste the real creole food, look no further. They are the best. Highly recommended. Can't wait for my next visit.

Beautiful place to taste authentic Mauritian cuisine. The owners and wait staffs are very friendly with a great welcome. My fiancé and parents really enjoyed it there. We will definitely go back again in the future.

We had an amazing welcome by the host. The setting is very authentic and so is the Mauritian creole food. If you're a foreigner visiting and want the full creole [food] experience, look no further. We took the full lunch package which was slightly too much for our tiny stomachs but it was so well presented that we made it a must to try every dish. We weren't disappointed.
The downside: locals might be slightly underwhelmed by the price - but we really wanted to test it out. Not exactly 5* (but closer to 5 than 4)
