Spoon des Iles

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Table on the Indian Ocean

Spoon des Iles sits at Pointe de Flacq on the northeastern coast of Mauritius, where the lagoon meets the kind of setting that makes a meal feel like more than a meal. The restaurant earned recognition in The World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2002 — a distinction that placed Mauritius firmly on the map of serious global dining at a time when few island destinations commanded that kind of attention.

French Fusion with Island Roots

The cooking at Spoon des Iles draws from the French tradition while weaving in the flavors and spirit of the islands — a French fusion approach that feels native to Mauritius rather than imposed upon it. The format invites guests to compose their own experience, pairing proteins, sauces, and sides across cultural boundaries, a concept that was genuinely ahead of its time when the restaurant first drew international acclaim.

The Experience

Fine dining here comes with the option of private room dining and considered wine pairing, making Spoon des Iles a natural choice for occasions that call for something more deliberate. The atmosphere balances the relaxed warmth of island life with the attentiveness of a kitchen and front-of-house team that understands what earned this address its reputation.
