Rodrigues, Mauritius’ sister island, is sprinkled with the French tradition of table d’hôte, which literally means “host’s table”. The Belgian-Mauritian couple at Cases A Gardenias has opened up their tastefully designed house for a classy dining experience. A homemade concoction of limoncello, lively dinner table conversations, and Fernand’s refreshing humor, set the pace for the night. Mari-Line’s creativity in the kitchen could surprise you with anything ranging from her rendition of Indian food to a potpourri of vegetarian dishes that could make even Michelin Star chefs proud. Throw in a bottle of red wine, French music on the gramophone, and after-dinner liqueur, and you know this is an experience that will linger on in your heart.
