Savinia Bistrot - Bagatelle Mall

My fiancé and I went for dinner at Savinia Bistrot at the Bagatelle Mall of Mauritius.

Every time we passed by the restaurant we would be amazed by the number of people sitting around and the wine collection on the side.

Last December, I decided to take my Fiance out on a Pre-Birthday dinner.

For the menu, I checked online on:

Given that there were a lot of choices, we decided to start with the starters first and then order the main menu...

We ordered 2 Martini Biano as drinks:



The quantity that we received was shocking. We've been to other places where the drinks are served much more generously than this.

We then ordered:


  • Cocktail de crevettes, sauce Marie Rose
  • Gratins de Palmiste
  • Gratin fruits de mer

We ate the "cocktail de crevettes" first... Frankly I really did not like it.. It felt like I was eating a simple lettuce salad with two shrimps. There were 4 shrimps in total and we had 2 each.

The shrimps were not deveined so it had a gross smell. I really did not like this menu.


After the "cocktail de crevettes" we tried the "Gratins de Palmiste". 


Reasonably, between all three we found that the "Gratins de Palmiste" had a better taste. However, it was an average Gratin, we've had better.

We then moved on to "Gratin fruits de mer"


At first wight, I was so excited to dig in this succulent cheesy Gratin but one bite and my stomach started to swirl. It had an abundant amount of salt. I actually felt like I was eating a spoonful of salt. 

I immediately started to feel unwell and when the waitress came to ask our order for the main course. We simply denied and asked for the cheque.

I was completely disappointed with this restaurant.

After my experience, I asked a few friends if they've been to that restaurant and their views on it. 

I rarely received a positive feedback. They were all mostly disappointed for the quality of the food. The only positive feedback I received was vis a vis the Lamb menus that it has. 

Unfortunately, I don't eat Lamb so I wouldn't know. 

For those, who've actually been to this Restaurant, please share your views.

Thanks for reading!
