The Deck
( 950 3134; Le Caudan Waterfront; mains Rs 550-750; noon-3pm & 6.30-10.30pm Mon-Sat)
Inhabiting its
own pontoon on the harbour, The Deck wins plaudits for its setting which is slightly re-
moved from the clamour of the riverside bars and has good views. The food is good
without getting really interesting - the calamari vindaloo caught our eye, but the grilled
fish is also good.

Drinking & Nightlife
Port Louis is not exactly a happening place at night and come sunset the city is virtually
silent as commuters retire to the Central Plateau towns. What evening life there is tends to
be concentrated on Le Caudan Waterfront.
