Founder of Flowers of Paradise (first in Pereyb\u00e8re, then in Mont Choisy), the man who, for almost twenty years, has demonstrated a business acumen and sense of success as sharp as his kitchen knives, opens the doors of his new opus (formerly Onya) on Royal Road in Pointe aux Canonniers. <\/b> <em>Delphine Raimond<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Nature et D\u00e9lices is an intimate setting, with a carefully-crafted seasonal menu. Four tables in the small garden, five under the varangue, five more in the cool cellar, brimming with quality wines from Rs 900. A maximum coefficient of two has always been applied by Christophe: &#8220;I want my customers to be able to enjoy themselves without being killed&#8230; because wines are expensive in Mauritius!&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At lunchtime, you can enjoy snacks, salads and simple, effective dishes at very reasonable prices. Cordon bleu, croque-monsieur, tuna (tartare or carpaccio), beef (carpaccio, filet or entrec\u00f4te) and a popular buffet of three wood-fired Creole curries, served with rice, grains, vegetables and chatini, for Rs 1300\/person! In the evening, a more elaborate menu showcases the best of European produce, with 90% from France. Sole, scallops, foie-gras, frogs&#8217; legs, sweetbreads, morels&#8230; you name it! &#8220;Here, the Mauritian expatriate eats something different, without being in a palace. I&#8217;m 40% more expensive than my colleagues, but still 60% cheaper than a luxury establishment!&#8221; As for the weekends, they are themed and have already offered &#8211; as much as you can eat &#8211; lobster (Rs 3000\/p), mussels (Rs 1500\/p) or Australian entrec\u00f4te (Rs 1500\/p), accompanied by <i>live music<\/i>.<br \/>\nParking will soon be made easier, and you will be able to enter through a small back garden scented with lemongrass and other herbs.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Nature et D\u00e9lices, Tuesday to Sunday lunchtime.<br \/>\nTel: 5974 2019<br \/>\n<span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/naturedelices\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/naturedelices#<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature-et-delices.mu\/\">https:\/\/www.nature-et-delices.mu\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seasoned entrepreneur, qualified chef, attentive father&#8230; Christophe is a busy but serene man!
