Chez Tino
A family seafood restaurant in the village of Trou d'Eau Douce, with a lagoon-view terrace upstairs, a popular lunch stop before or after the Île aux Cerfs day trip.
Located in the village of Trou d'Eau Douce on the east coast, the departure point for Île aux Cerfs. The entrance looks like a carport, and you climb an iron staircase to reach the upstairs terrace, which overlooks the bay and lagoon. It is family-run and serves Creole dishes, seafood and Mauritian Chinese dishes. Reviews often mention wood-fired lobster, palm heart and marlin salad, octopus curry, garlic prawns and crab soup. Prices are more affordable than resort restaurants, and the restaurant can also arrange speedboat trips to Île aux Cerfs. There is no sea view in the evening, and parking is inconvenient.
Opening hours
Lunch and dinner daily, about 11:00–21:00
