avis_word TASTE OF FREEDOM Mahébourg

Dużo ludzi, przygotujcie się na długie czekanie, ale naprawdę warto spróbować

It was our first visit after having following the FB page for a few years and saw many tempting pictures.
We arived at 12 20 and was told they will open at 12 30. We were two person who was there first so we choose a table with a beautiful sea view. Then the owner came and asked us to shift since the table is for 4 and we are only two not to spoile the mood we did not argue. The table for two was not comfortable since it was an upside down metal barrel with no leg space you have to sit with you feet under your chair or your self far from the table imagine how to bend and eat every time. Later the lady came to take order not so good in her job he asked the owner itself to come. There is no menu card you need to take a picture on the board and order from it. We asked for seafood mix grill. They recommended under category crispy seafood to share @700rs. And additionally a seafood tacos @350rs. We mentioned to have only fresh seafood and the owner confirmed everything is fresh except mussels.Our seafood platter took around 15 to 20 mins fully loaded ???? a heaven to the eyes and mouth. With 3 whole fish 1 cordonier 2 small rouget which was not deep fried but grilled.
5 mussels 5 shrimps with head and 2 pineapple cut calmari , 2 octopus legs and 1 whole calamari medium size over a bed of crinkle cut chips and letuce.
Our first turn off was it was served cold
Then we realised the fish was not cleaned properly still had some green stuff inside fish stomach.
Also most importantly only the fish was fresh others were not it had no sea freshness taste. Overcooked boiled with no taste of what we are eating. The tacos has chips and avocado inside and lots of veggies. We were served coke with no glasses. To our surprise the bill was done on a calculator 1700 +350 + 3 coke @2250rs. We realised they misguided us with the price showing 700 and charged us 1700 still we did not argue or questioned as they was not welcoming people be it the staff or the owner itself. Not a single smile from them. They way we were asked to move from the table of 4 was very rude and embarrassing since we were 2 we tried to be understanding but later on we saw one lady who came alone grab the seat of 4. They took her order and served her she was eating comfortably. But our table was not comfortable to sit i took picture of the lady eating on a table of 4. And the table model with 4 legs while the table for 2 was a big drum barrel or whatever very inconvenient to sit. Thankyou for this experience for which we drove hours.

One of the best seafood in the south coast of mauritius

Local and lively ambient, delicious fish and huge helping of rice. Reasonable prices and friendly service. Will definitely revisit when in Mauritius.

Need to wait a lot to get food

Un arrêt qui n’était pas prévu à la base, mais très heureux d’y avoir passé la soirée!
Le personnel adorable, les plats délicieux et l’ambiance au top ! Bravo aux cuisiniers et merci pour ce bon repas, on reviendra avec plaisir :)

Really good atmosphere with lovely music????food is amazing ????the staff are superb ????????keep it up guys????

I've been there on Saturday night for the first time. My experience is as follows:
1. There was no parking , but I managed to park the car on the road.

2. We arrived around 7:25 p.m. with my husband and took a seat at the first table we saw (it was an 8-seat table). One waiter came and asked politely to swap tables. There is no problem with it. We've been placed on a two-place table, which is very uncomfortable. It's a metal barrel cut in half, and our knees were banging against the table. The plastic chair was also very uncomfortable.

3. The worst part was the wait. We arrived at 7:25 p.m., as mentioned above, and were served the starter at 9:07 p.m., which is very long!! The main dish came at 9:37 p.m. I was so hungry during this waiting time. I've never in my life waited this long to be served!! I back was also hurting a lot sitting for so long on this plastic chair. The table really to small for two persons eat.

4. The food was good and delicious—the seafood crispy starter and the seafood platter—but I did not enjoy it as I was disappointed.

5. Another point the atmosphere and music as good.

I would like to recommend that the concerned persons communicate the delays in order, and if you know there would be a long delay, please serve some snacks freely, like "baguette fromage, pistache," or whatever, to compensate for the wait.

Went to this place a few times . I had fish lobster friend noodles, etc . AMAZING .good atmosphere . Good fresh food . Good island vibe . Cedric, the manager best customer service . I recommend this place to anyone going in the south of mauritius .

The food; Sea food is fresh and delicious. Price is average. Great sea view. You have to reserve to be sure to get served and seated when you come. It is hard to get in touch for reservation on the phone and always send a whatssapp message after the reservation for confirmation... in case he forgets (happened to me). Expect a long waiting time after ordering (that didn't bother me for the quality of food in return compensate for that drawback). Overall, it was a great experience for foodies. I recommend it.
