Where does this fresh and delicious taste come from?

The restaurant’s brigade sources its ingredients from local Mauritian producers and suppliers in order to reduce its carbon footprint. To ensure that you are treated to the freshest dishes, the team uses products from the Ferney Agri-Hub.

The freshly caught fish from the lagoon also offers a unique flavour to the dishes, which you will immediately discover if you try another special dish of the restaurant: the fresh fish fillet, served with vanilla clams’ emulsion and Ferney Agri-Hub vegetables. In fact, most of the vegetables and fruits come from the Agri-Hub, which means they are sustainably grown, therefore being more environmentally friendly.
