Les Mascareignes

Les Mascareignes' cuisine represents the rich culinary traditions of the Mascarene Islands, where African, Indian, Chinese, and French influences have blended over centuries to create distinctive Creole flavors. The kitchen takes pride in preparing everything from scratch, using traditional methods that include smoking ingredients over wood fire—a technique that adds depth and authenticity to the dishes.

The menu features the islands' most beloved specialties. The cabri massalé, a signature dish, showcases tender goat meat in a fragrant curry sauce enriched with aromatic spices. The rougail saucisses delivers bold, spicy flavors with its tomato-based sauce, while the carry poulet offers a more approachable introduction to Creole curries. Each dish reflects the islands' love of bold seasonings, fresh ingredients, and complex flavor profiles that balance heat, sweetness, and savory notes.

The meal structure follows island tradition, beginning with appetizers like samoussas (crispy filled pastries), accras (salt cod fritters), and bouchons (steamed dumplings). We particularly appreciate the restaurant's "assiette créole à partager"—a sharing platter that lets you sample multiple flavors, perfect for first-time visitors or groups wanting to explore the cuisine together. The kitchen accommodates various dietary needs with vegetarian options and lactose-free dishes, ensuring everyone can enjoy authentic island flavors.

Desserts maintain the island theme, with bananes flambées au rhum de la Réunion providing a theatrical and delicious conclusion to your meal. The beverage program complements the food perfectly, featuring island beers like Phoenix from Mauritius and Dodo from Réunion, alongside wines and cocktails. With lunch menus starting at 16€ and an average dinner price of 28€, Les Mascareignes offers exceptional value for genuinely homemade Creole cuisine prepared with care and authenticity.
