Langouste chosen from the day's catch at Amigo, Cap Malheureux

Choosing the catch

The card follows the sea, so the fish is listed as the catch of the day rather than by species. Langouste is the constant — the reason people drive north since 1985 — and it stays on the card every service, priced by weight at Rs 350 per 100g rather than by portion. Whole grilled fish is priced the same way, at Rs 195 per 100g.

Alongside the seafood, a short run of Mauritian dishes comes from the family kitchen — fish curry with eggplant, octopus salmi in tamarind, rougaille — cooked the way three generations here have cooked them.

The signature

Three ways with langouste

We have cooked it the same three ways since 1985 and we still argue about which is best. All three are the whole animal, split, and priced at Rs 350 per 100g.

What is on a seafood platter

Two platters, both built for two people, and the reason most tables book in the first place.

Wine, and what to drink with it

Grilled langouste wants something dry and cold with enough body to stand up to the flame; the tartare and carpaccio want something lighter. Tell us what you have ordered and we will bring the bottle that suits it.

Champagne can be opened at the table with a sabre by a Maître Sabreur of the Confrérie du Sabre d'Or — ask when you book. There is also a rum bottled under our own label for the end of the meal.
