Les Délices De L'Ile Maurice

Last time I came to eat at this location was over 10yrs ago. It is just as good as I remembered it to be. Table d'hôte is amazing, 5 courses for only 30-35$. Everything was fresh and delicious! Very small and intimate space, BYOB, even the dessert was made in house and was to die for. Everything about this place was great, definitely recommend eating here!!

This is a very nice family run restaurant. It is not a very big, so it might not always be easy to get a table. I suggest that you make a reservation before hand on weekends. The food was delicious. They have an a la carte and a set meal menu. For my appetizer I had the fried coconut shrimps and they were a delight. I then had the fish and shrimp combo as main course. You have a choice of sauce and I went for the sweet and sour. They went well together. However, the dessert was nothing to die for. I had the Tiramisu and a friend had the tapioca pudding. Don't expect anything too sweet. All in all, it was a nice dinner with generous portions. However, I didn't know the fish and shrimp combo was fried and it was a bit too much fried stuff for me at the end. If you like fried stuff, they do a great job of making them extra crispy. This is definitely a place to try. Do try their Vanilla Tea which is a very local tea drink to have in Mauritius.

The food wasn't *amazing*, but for me the overall experience was a well deserved 5 stars. The place is cozy and colorful. Service is very friendly. Before you even order anything, they bring out a plate of fried cabbage for everybody. You're lucky if you get some bread for free nowadays so this is very appreciated. The table d'hôte comes with a fair bit of food, including soup, entrees, main plate and dessert. Everything was quite good. I enjoyed the Mauritian style fried noodles, tasty comfort food. We also appreciate that it is BYOB so you can enjoy a glass of wine without paying a huge premium. All in all, a nice little place to discover a cuisine I don't think I've ever seen anywhere else.

Awesome place for Mauritian food in Montréal! Felt very welcomed and the usual warmth from the island, felt at home. First time visiting and meeting the host who was great and friendly, recommended and definitely going back with friends! Manger ti mari bon, table d’hôte prix extra abordable, mine bouilli ourite, vindaye poisson, boulettes!!! 🌞🤩

A lovely local restaurant that seems to be family-owned. The food is always lovely and the service is nice. I particularly enjoy the coconut shrimp and the ginger fish. It can be quite busy, so I recommend you reserve in advance if you have the opportunity. I definitely recommend it!

The food was delicious and the portions are generous. Try it you won't regret

Food was good. Fried onions for each person and small soup of the day to start was a nice touch. Where it lost a bit was from the tables being so crowded. They seemed to squeeze in more tables than they should. We were sitting with the backs of our chairs up against the people behind us.

My parents and I visited this Chinese-Mauritian restaurant on a Saturday evening during Labour Day weekend for dinner, and we were able to get a seat straight away. My dad is Mauritian so we were curious to see how Mauritian food tasted here in Montréal. The owners seated us, served cold water, and took our orders. They were very pleasant individuals who explained the table d'hôte menu and answered any questions we had regarding the dishes. We were very happy to speak with other Mauritian people. The owners were also equally pleasant with all guests that we saw. Please keep in mind that you are allowed to bring your own alcohol here, which is really handy if you want to save money on having drinks with your meal. I ended up going to the Couche-Tard nearby and buying a couple of beers. In the meantime, we were served appetizers as indicated on the menu. First was the chou frit (called gato lissou back home), which are cabbage fritters. It's usually served as a tapas alongside drinks, or from street vendors, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it as an appetizer. It was extremely crunchy and tasty, with the perfect amount of salt. It reminded me a lot of my grandmother's cooking, so that should speak to the authenticity. The other appetizer was a split pea soup (we call it dal), which was also prepared very nicely and tasted quite good. We ended up ordering dishes à la carte; the table d'hôte seems like a very good deal, but we weren't too hungry. I ordered the jarret d'agneau with rougaille sauce which had perfect colour and taste. The tomato sauce was not tangy or sweet like other restaurants that make tomato dishes, so this sauce was perfectly reflective of Mauritian cuisine. The lamb portion was large and the meat was extremely tender. Very good overall, 10/10 for that dish. My dad ordered the nouilles sautées à la mauricienne (called mine frite or mine frire back home) with beef. This is essentially a Chinese-Mauritian version of stir-fried noodles. He really enjoyed them, and would order them again. 8/10 My mom ended up ordering a dish that was not on the menu. The server mentioned that they could make fish or octopus vindaye on request, so my mom ordered the octopus vindaye. It was quite solid in terms of spices, but it needed a little bit of salt added to make the flavours come out. The octopus was extremely tender which lead to a pleasant mouthfeel. Overall 9/10 for that dish. To wrap it up, this restaurant was awesome. We had a really great time as the service, food, and pricing were all wonderful. We'll definitely be visiting again once we're back in Montréal. Service: 10/10 Gato lissou (Cabbage fritters): 10/10 Split pea soup (Dal): 10/10 Jarret d'agneau rougaille: 10/10 Nouilles sautées à la mauricienne: 8/10 Octopus vindaye: 9/10

I haven't been here in a couple of years even though it's close enough to home but wow! This place never seems to disappoint. Buddy and I came here for dinner last night and it still manages to knock our socks off. I had my "usual" lamb shank in curry sauce and it's still as tasty as I remember it from all those years ago I tried this place the first time. They still give you the fried cabbage and lentil soup as starters if you order the table d'hôte and both are still wonderful. It came with dessert and we both opted for the homemade tiramisu which was flawless. This place is also BYOW so I brought along a bottle of Italian red which went beautifully with the lamb.Service is still very friendly, not sure if Sylvester is still running the place but the food is still the same. My only complaint is that they are only open on Friday and Saturday evenings these days from 5-10pm. Food this good should be available more often.

Excellent service et nourriture incroyable! Une vraie gemme cachée. Merci pour le repas!

They are very good and professional i request people to go there having fun and eating

If you love authentic island food, you'd love this restaurant. Mauritius, an island based in the Indian Ocean which looks like paradise on earth and so is the food. It's also a family based restaurant. I did like the posters as that's how it looks in Mauritius. First, for any meal you choose, you get fried cabbage and lentil soup with some crackers which are delicious. I also ordered the appetizers which included the plate of chicken croquettes, calamari and coconut based appetizer. They have some authentic sauce that's accompanied with it. I loved it. They were very well made and tons of flavours. For the main, I had ordered the plate of fried chicken noodles and it reminded me of the time I was in Mauritius just from those locals, the portions are huge and so filling. The service was amazing and the lady is so nice and always ask for the specials from Mauritius as they would amaze you! Whatever you order, you're definitely not gonna regret it as they all delicious and freshly made on the spot, served with so much love. You definitely wouldn't regret it and the value is great for the prices you pay. I would keep on going if I miss the island delicious and fresh food. -:)

Almost perfection! First thing worth mentioning is the waiter we had: he was the most adorably polite person on the face of the planet...i gave him a huge hug at the end of the night cuz he was just THAT amazing. He was patient and friendly and polite and just excellent every step of the way! I don't like seafood so that limited my menu options severely. That being said I still thoroughly enjoyed my chicken in Cajun sauce. And the vegetarian samossas I ordered as an entrée were delightful! (6 tiny phyllo wrapped triangle samossas that were beautifully seasoned and perfectly conceived!) One of my friends ordered the lamb in Créole sauce with 2 fishy entrées, the Haiken (which despite not liking fish I actually liked), and the coconut shrimp. Our other friend ordered the shrimp in Créole sauce. We all really enjoyed our meals...but I found it a bit too much on the sugary sweet side: I would go for the curry next time and I wouldn't be afraid to ask for full spicy next time. (I asked for medium spicy n didn't find it very spicy at all). Tiny little restaurant that didn't require reservations on a Friday evening to snag a table for 3. A bring your own wine with surprisingly extremely reasonable meal prices! Decoration left a bit to desire (airline posters from Mauritius seemed a bit tacky imo) but culturally relevant at least lol so it was still nice to look at...would have appreciated more authentic Mauritius decor. I used to work with a guy from Mauritius and he was much darker skinned than the family running this lil gem. Our waiter explained that Mauritius is an island with a blend of Indian, African and Asian cultures and that was definitely well reflected in this restaurant's menu. And my taste buds were very grateful for such a lovely cultural fusion! Would definitely come back and would definitely recommend!

This will become one of my go-to spots in the sud-ouest for delicous food at a very fair/reasonable price, especially given that its a BYO. We ordered the crispy ginger fish & shrimp ($16) and the shrimp&fish combo (also $16) in a garlic sauce. Both were delicious, and were served with rice, a green salad, a crispy cabbage appetizer and a zesty curry dal soup - all delightful. The service was great too, and the atmosphere well suited for casual (potentially loud) small-group dinners. Overall, a wonderful family-run gem of an establishment in the neighbourhood! Only wish they were open more evenings during the week (currently, only Friday and Saturday nights).

Before I jump into my review, let me just preface this by saying that this place is NOT for the calorie-counters/waist watchers/dieters out there. Glad we got that out of the way. Onto the review: you've GOT TO try this place out! It's a small restaurant in the heart of Verdun that serves delicious Mauritian food. Granted, a lot of the items are deep fried, but that's part of the package. Pros: - BYOW - Excellent prices for quality/quantity - Variety of food - Yumminess Cons: - Deep fried everything so the health conscious will need to limit their visits We both had the table d'hote and although I can't remember everything we tried, here's what I do know: - Fried cabbage: Soooo good and basically unlimited (you can keep asking for more). Who knew you could turn something so healthy into something so sinful? - Calamari: Not bad but not amazing - Coconut shrimp: Deeeelicious - Mauritian noodles with beef: SO good Service is great and prices are perfectly reasonable. I will absolutely be back and recommend this awesome place to anyone and everyone I know looking for something a little different. 5 stars for Les Délices de l'Île Maurice!!

When i first moved to Verdun (i don't live there anymore), this was one of the first restaurant that i've been to. I fell in love! The owners are SUPER friendly. The husband in the kitchen and the wife in the front of the house. They make you feel like you are part of the family and you do feel that way. The food...it has this homemade comforting soul food style to it. It's like going to an aunt's house for dinner. The price is more then reasonable. You can eat well for around 20$ per person. When you order a main, it automatically comes with a portion of deliciously crispy fried cabbage and a soup. Appetizers are about 4-5$. My favourite would be the fried coconut shrimp appetizer, fish and shrimp dish or the lamb shank. It comes with salad and rice. The main dishes are around 15$, give or take. I NEVER finish my plate! That's how big the portions are. I would once in awhile drive all the way there just for the food. Plus, they always recognizes their regulars. Even after a year abroad on hiatus like me ;) IT'S BYOB!!!

Had been eager to come to this restaurant for so long! A true hidden gem! It's a small restaurant, service was good and fast, each meal comes with fried cabbage appetizer, soup and tea/coffee. I recommend the heiken entrée , I had the Lamb Shank in Creole sauce: to die for! Definitely would come back to this restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic!! Food so good!! Very welcoming and nice atmosphere Recommended A+++

What a nice discovery. This is a small restaurant in Verdun that serves Mauritius food. We ordered the table d'hote and it came with a fried cabbage amuse-gueule, a soup, a choice among 5 appetizers, the main, dessert and coffee or tea. Very generous portions. The cabbage was crunchy and sweet. The creole sauce had a nice kick. The coconut shrimps were yummmm. You can bring your own wine also. Next time I might try their noodle dish because it looked delicious. Note that service can be slow.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Verdun. Prices are on the low side (around $12-$15 per dish, which includes soup, appetizer and coffee or tea). Portions are generous and you have many flavors (sauces) to choose from. The restaurant's ambiance is homey and friendly, not fancy at all. Plus, it's BYOW, which is awesome. I give them four stars because last time when I ordered to take out, the food wasn't as good as in the restaurant. Also, last time I went they didn't take credit cards. Overall, this is a great place. Must try if you like both Chinese and Indian flavors.

Had the coconut shrimp as an app. Was very delicious. Would definitely order that again. Wife and I each had the lamb shank and it was very tender and juicy. Meal came with fried cabbage and soup to start. Both yummy but i especially liked the fried cabbage as I've never had it before. It was a small restaurant so service was good. Didn't make us wait long in between courses.

Good food. Not too fancy, almost like comfort food , "grandma style". Not too expensive and it's a BYOW, which makes it even better!

I was walking in the neighborhood at lunch and decided "hey, here's somewhere I've never been". Well, I wish I'd kept walking. It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was empty, not a good sign. Sat down and ordered Calamar, and my friend ordered Noodles with Chicken. The appetizers and soup were incredible, the fried cabbage was a real treat, and the soup was spicy, homemade and satisfied absolutely. Where could this go wrong? Well, the main dishes came and my Calamari tasted more like old shoes, and had a horrific consistency. I sent it back. My dining mate dove into her noodles and chicken, and it had zero taste. The owner charged me FULL PRICE for two meals that were inedible, and appeared to become extremely agitated. Needless to say I'd never eat there, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

This is my second time at this interesting little restaurant. It is bring your own wine/beer, so my husband and I picked up some beer before we arrived. I suggest a light, refreshing lager, as my husband's heavy new castle brown ales proved to be a bit too heavy to be mixed with the cuisine. We got the fried cabbage to start which is definitely indulgent, and I naturally, dosed mine with hot sauce, which I tend to do with anything deep fried. We ordered the veggie samosas as a starter, and they were fantastic. Just the right amount of spicy and savory, and the dipping sauce was more Asian influence. The soup was next, and it was a nice pea soup with a coriander bite to it. My husband ordered the lamb shank with the honey marinade and I had the chicken noodle plate. We really enjoyed both meals, mine definitely reminded me of Chinese noodles with a different palate of spices. This is what is interesting about the cuisine, it definitely has a standard schezuan appearance but with a different spice palate, which makes it interesting. Definitely hints of African/Caribbean/French/Indian influences in the food. But like most Asian influenced restaurant foods, it is a bit on the salty side. We had the desert which was a hockey-puck shaped custard concoction in syrup. It wasn't too sweet but it was a tad bland. In summary, this is a great place to try if you like spicy/savory and cultural fusion cuisine. Also, it's not too expensive and you can bring your own boos, so it's great for someone adventurous and on a budget.
