l'atelier dumont

 

 

I discovered this lovely restaurant on the inflight guide to Mauritius. The food looked amazing and I had heard some good reviews from friends so one night we decided to check it out since we were only staying 5min away. 

L’atelier is located in Cybercity, an unlikely venue for a restaurant like this.  The restaurant has a huge kitchen open totally to the main dining room and the bar. The restaurant is modern and rustic at the same time, with its outside terrace and fountain, offering Mediterranean cuisine which is both elegant and fresh.

 It was a weekday and the place was empty when we arrived but undeterred we started ordering. The bread was average, nothing particularly special but it was nice that it came warm.

rooftop boundary

 

On the beautiful sunny Sunday a few of us went to Boundary, a venture between Terence and Vicki Conran in partnership with Peter Prescott. It is located in Shorditch and designed by Conran & Partners. Formly a late Victorian warehouse, it is now transformed into 12 individually designed guest bedrooms plus 5 suites, 3 restaurants and bars, a foodstore and bakery.

We were there to enjoy the beautiful weather @ the Rooftop but great minds think alike and there was a queue when we arrived. We waited nearly an hour in the baking sun and was it worth it? Hell yeah!

trou aux biches

It's been over 2months since my last post ... how time flies!

Anyway since my last post, I'd actually been on holiday for just over 2weeks to Mauritius!!

The highlight of the holiday was spending time at the newly re-opened 5 star Trou Aux Biches Resort & Spa! Trou Aux Biches is located on one of the best beaches on the north west coast of Mauritius.

Beautiful orchid arrangements at the reception area

The hotel was completely demolished and redesigned with a focus on tropical elegance, modernity, comfort, intimacy and luxury.

So tropical and modern
