Chez Philippe

Top choice in Mauritius


Take-away-only Chez Philippe is a fabulous little deli serving up pre-prepared takeaway meals, such as salads, lasagne and creative interpretations of local dishes. There's also foie gras, cheeses and exceptional desserts – the tiramisu is a local institution. A recent move to the Ruisseau Créole shopping complex is a marked improvement on its former roadside location.
