One of the highlights of any full-day cruise with Southeast Cruises is the beach BBQ. This isn't just a meal; it's a celebration of Mauritian culinary culture, prepared fresh in the open air on the pristine sands of Ile aux Cerfs or a secluded islet.
Fresh From the Ocean
The star of the show is always the seafood. We source our catch daily from local fishermen in Mahébourg.
- Grilled Fish: Typically Dorade (Mahi Mahi) or Capitaine, marinated in a blend of lemon, garlic, thyme, and olive oil, then grilled over charcoal for that smoky flavor.
- Lobster (Premium Option): For a truly luxurious treat, upgrade to our grilled lobster. Served with garlic butter sauce, the sweet, tender meat is an indulgence you won't forget.
The Sides
No Mauritian meal is complete without the sides:
- Chicken Skewers: Marinated in a secret family recipe of soy sauce, ginger, and local herbs.
- Garlic Bread: Toasted over the fire.
- Fresh Salads: A mix of crisp mixed greens and a potato salad or pasta salad, refreshing and light.
The Grand Finale: Banana Flambé
Save room for dessert! Our crew prepares a spectacular Banana Flambé right before your eyes. Local bananas are caramelized in sugar and butter, then flambéed with Mauritian rum. The result is a sticky, sweet, warm delight that perfectly caps off the meal.
Drinks Included
Throughout the lunch, enjoy a flow of beverages including local Phoenix beer, rum punch (made with local cane spirit and fruit juices), soft drinks, and water.
Eating with your toes in the sand, under the shade of filao trees, listening to the ocean—this is the taste of paradise.
