In-Depth Information
( 453 5250; Royal Rd; mains Rs 350-680, Fri buffet Rs 600; noon-3pm & 7pm-late)
A sprawling collec-
tion of agreeable outdoor tables just across the road from the beach, Twin's does dishes
that range from the extremely well-priced (Rs 950) grilled lobster flamed with local rum

KenziBar
( 453 5259; 6.30pm-midnight Tue-Sat)
KenziBar, a block or two back from the waterfront, is
your best bet for nightlife in Flic en Flac. There's tongue-tingling
rhum arrangés
(rum
punch)
,
fire-spurting torches, live music (on Fridays and Saturdays) and a mangy, pat-
hungry dog that calls the bar home - welcome to Mauritius!
BAR
BAR, NIGHTCLUB
Shotz
( 453 8644; Royal Rd; 11pm-4am Fri & Sat)
Both lounge bar and nightclub, Shotz is about as
jet-set as things get beyond the high walls of the upmarket resorts.
Getting There & Around
