Blue Marlin

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Table at the Edge of the Island

Blue Marlin sits on the Le Morne Peninsula in Black River, one of the most dramatically beautiful stretches of coastline in Mauritius. The address alone — a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of basalt cliffs and turquoise lagoon — sets the stage for a dining experience that earns its place among the island's finest tables.

French Cuisine, Recognised

The restaurant's wine programme has drawn the attention of Wine Spectator, which awarded Blue Marlin its prestigious Best of Award of Excellence for 2025. That distinction signals not just a well-stocked cellar but a genuine commitment to pairing: the kind of care that elevates French cuisine from a meal into something more considered. French cooking, with its emphasis on technique and quality ingredients, finds a natural home here, where the setting demands a certain seriousness of purpose.

Lunch and Dinner

Blue Marlin serves both lunch and dinner, making it a destination for an unhurried midday meal as much as an evening occasion. Whether you arrive as the afternoon light plays across the lagoon or as the sun drops behind Le Morne Brabant, the peninsula provides a backdrop that few restaurants anywhere can match.
