Serving up the fiery food of Mauritius, which blends African, French and Indian influences, this comfortable neighbourhood bistro charms with bentwood chairs, white tablecloths and mustard walls. Prices are laughably low and the quality is more than respectable. Skip ho-hum samosas and head straight for the two okra-based dishes on the menu: whole, sautéed just until tender and tossed with tomato and onion; and chopped, with diced palm hearts and tomatoes in a light vinaigrette. Seafood options dominate the mains. In one, a fragrant curry bathes springy shrimp and tender slices of sweet mango; in another, a delicate sauce of ground mustard, garlic, onion and vinegar enlivens a juicy slab of Australian cod, with steamed rice and crunchy slaw riding shotgun. The dessert menu is in need of some work: on one visit, a listed cake wasn’t available, and the two sorbets (mango and passion fruit) underwhelm. Genteel servers. Tiny wine list. Mains $12–$14.
