Our story · Since 1985
Three generations,
one address
Amigo has stood on the Royal Road at Le Pavillon, Cap Malheureux, since 1985. It began as a tabagie-bar, became a seafood restaurant, and is run today by the three sons of the man who built its reputation.
The years
The second generation
The Amigo
Brothers
Kavinen, Yovissen and Kovishen Parasuraman. Kavinen trained at Vatel and in the kitchens of Le Royal Monceau in Paris before taking the restaurant on at twenty-one. Yovissen cooks, and posts as Yovicooks. Kovishen runs Amigo Bar & Bistro on the ground floor.
« Les clients viennent à l'Amigo pour manger de la langouste, mais pas que pour cela. »
Kavinen Parasuraman, Le Mauricien, 2017
The constant
Nalini
When Ambigah died suddenly in 2005 at thirty-six, his widow Nalini kept the restaurant open through years the family describes as very difficult. She raised three sons and held the business until the eldest was old enough to take it back.
« Ambigah n'est plus là mais nous continuons le travail qu'il a commencé. »
Nalini Parasuraman, 5-Plus Dimanche, 2017
