First Restaurant

Port Louis


If the age-old rule applies that a good Chinese restaurant is full of Chinese diners, then First is a winner. Packed with large family groups enjoying vast feasts of delicious Cantonese cooking, this is Chinatown's finest, and prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of the fare.
