Deck

Port Louis


Inhabiting its own pontoon across the harbour, the Deck wins plaudits for its setting, which is slightly removed from the clamour of the riverside bars and has nice views. The food is good without being really interesting – the calamari vindaloo caught our eye, but the grilled fish is also appealing. People often stay around for a drink or two afterwards.
