2. NOMAD (Black River)

Nestled in Black River, NOMAD emerges as a delightful haven for pet owners. NOMAD is famous for its burgers, tacos, and good vibes, and offers a good amount of vegetarian options too.

3. The Chaser Mauritian Bistro (La Gaulette)

Tucked away in the vibrant surf-village of La Gaulette, this bistro has quickly become “the place to go”—not just for the killer cocktails or the locally sourced tapas, but for the sheer magic of the atmosphere.

The Chaser is a masterclass in Mauritian hospitality; it’s a spot where solo travelers leave with a new group of friends and strangers end up sharing laughs over shared plates. Their commitment to locally sourced ingredients keeps your footprint small and the flavors big.

And then, there’s Snowy. While she isn’t technically “house-owned,” this local pup is the unofficial mascot who “clocks in” every evening for her shift of belly scratches and the occasional piece of cheese. Her presence perfectly encapsulates the bistro’s spirit: it’s a place that feels less like a restaurant and a little more like belonging. Whether you’re bringing your own pup or just coming for the vibes, The Chaser reminds us that life is indeed beautiful.

Located in a lush garden setting, The Good Place invites guests to savor a culinary experience rooted in freshness and sustainability, showcasing an array of healthy and balanced dishes crafted from locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients. With a focus on vegetarian and vegan options, the menu boasts a variety of flavorful offerings to please every palate. Start your day with vibrant fruit-filled breakfasts, indulge in 100% natural smoothies and detox juices, or explore the seasonal delights of salads, bowls, granola, and homemade desserts. And the best part is that they are pet-friendly!
