Great restaurant but for the type of restaurant (high end) it needs some fine tuning... example, waitress knew little about the local wines... we ordered a local PINOTAGE and I smelled it vinergary immediately... she did not know what to do... another woman (I think the manager) came over and right there in front of us poured a sip for...

Love your food Maurice. Great setting & wine as well. It has never disappointed. The food is consistently excellent. The Langoustine, Octopus curry and Rabbit are my favourites.

Went to Ile Maurice on the back of a recommendation from our hotel, fortunate as doesn't appear on Trip Advisor under restaurants in Umhlanga Rocks but under those in Durban etc. Going on a Saturday night place was packed and lucky that we had been able to book via our hotel, so likely you might have to do the same...

For some of the best fine dining in town! There is no restaurant that creates food and provides service at the level of Ile Maurice. its unbelievable how sumptuous the food is. Pricey but worth it!

Outstanding service, delightful atmosphere, secured parking. Top menu and wine list. Oxtail, chateau briand and langoustine was outstanding. Absolutely worth a visit when in the vicinity.

We went on a Sunday evening with the kids aged 6 and 8 as we fancied something different. Upon arrival we were a bit worried that it wasn't the kind of place to bring children (it has a romantic vibe), and we were overheard by the staff who reassured us that we shouldn't worry as kids are welcome. They treated... More

Based on a recommendation from local people we had two! dinners here during our stay at the nearby Oysterbox Hotel. Both dinners were excellent. Professional service, excellent French / Mauritius style food, exciting wine list, and excellent value.
