The hotel has two à la carte restaurants and three bars, one poolside. The Bar (with African-style lampshades designed by Forbes Mavros) is perfectly positioned for uninterrupted views of the sunset, with nightly live music from jazz and acoustic guitar to violin and piano.
There’s a strong focus on fresh local and Indian Ocean produce, including herbs from the garden. Airy, open-sided pavilion, The Restaurant, offers a delicious mix of European, Asian and Mauritian dishes – such as steamed snapper baked in clay, Creole bouillabaisse and lamb shank wrapped in sugar cane and slow-cooked in vanilla rum – in a setting of hushed tones surrounded by nature, and a romantic private table overlooking an ornamental pool. Chefs turn out a good masala dosa, and a vegetarian and vegan menu is on offer. Breakfast is spoiling, with gourmet lobster scrambled eggs with crème fraiche alongside healthy breakfast bowls.
Lobster on the grill is a speciality at the more casual On the Rocks at the water’s edge. A highlight of The Oberoi is its exclusive dining options. Choose from home-style Creole cuisine in a restored 18th-century French Gunpowder Room, or an al fresco four-course dinner with delicacies from the smokehouse and lemongrass and rosemary-infused leg of lamb slow-cooked in a firepit, served in the herb garden at weekends.
