My Review

Chez François, located in St Martin, Baie du Cap, Bel Ombre, is a hidden gem along the southern coast of Mauritius. This family-run seafood snack spot is known for its laid-back, beachfront vibe and authentic island flavours. Locals and visitors alike flock here for the famous mine bouille mangwak—boiled noodles served with mangwak, a rare shellfish delicacy rich in flavour. Other highlights include bol renversé, seafood boulettes, and crab broth dishes. The setting is rustic and simple, but the food speaks volumes. With friendly service and generous portions, Chez François delivers a truly authentic Mauritian seaside food experience.

⭐⭐⭐
The noodles were overcooked, and the octopus could have used more seasoning. The dim sum was enjoyable, but the service was noticeably slow. There should be at least three staff members on duty during peak hours. Overall, it was a rather disappointing experience.

Great food, the service is excellent and you can eat on the table with an amazing view to the ocean. This is one of the best take away in the south. Thank you 🤩

Its just a small beach snack. So you get served your food and then u have to find a place to settle down and have your meal on the beach which is just in front. But plenty of places in terms of bench and tables. Lots of shade, beautiful lagoon views. Food is just woow. Tried octopus curry and boiled noodles. Do not forget to try it.
