SA KI BON (Restaurant mauricien créole & épicerie fine de l’Océan Indien)

We had a nice lunch yesterday with a few friends. This was an occasion for us to discover the Mauritius cuisine. And it was more varied than I thought. We took three meal courses and were not disappointed, each piece was very good. There is also a very friendly atmosphere and a happy decoration inside. All in all it was a very welcome lunch - We will come back.

Decent terrasse on the street. No cars, only trams. Good food. My first time trying the food of Mauritius. Mines bouillies is a noodle dish made with boiled wheat noodles, served with a mix of sautéed vegetables, marinated meats, and a fried egg. The name comes from a blend of Hakka Chinese and French: “mines” (from the Chinese mein) meaning noodles, and “bouillies” meaning boiled. It is accompanied by achat, a tangy pickle made from shredded vegetables like carrots or green papaya, briefly pickled in vinegar with turmeric, mustard seeds, and chili. It originates from Indian and Southeast Asian immigrants to Mauritius. It is also served with satini pomme d’amour, a spicy tomato chutney made with Indian and African spices. Mines bouillies reflects Mauritius’s cultural mix—Chinese, French, Indian, and African. Dahi is a plain fermented yogurt brought by Indian indentured laborers in the 19th century. It’s a staple in Indo-Mauritian households, eaten with rice, served alongside spicy dishes, or drizzled over street foods like dholl puri and gato pima to cool the palate. The drink in this photo was made by blending dahi with fruit, making it more like an Indian lassi.

One of the worst Mauritian restaurant I have been in France. No welcome, waiters arrogant. Food not value for money as my friend got sick after eating there. I won’t say too much, just see the negative reviews and the way the owner replied. For me , it is a NO GO place.
