Lunch at The Hungry Crocodile Restaurant (La Vanille Nature Park)

Creole-Style Lunch at The Hungry Crocodile

Located inside La Vanille Nature Park in the south of Mauritius, The Hungry Crocodile Restaurant is a relaxed and memorable place to stop for lunch during your visit.

Built among the treetops and surrounded by palms, tropical trees and birds, the restaurant keeps you close to the park’s natural atmosphere. From your table, you can enjoy a peaceful setting with unspoilt views, giving the feeling of dining above a tropical forest.

The experience fits perfectly with the park itself, home to crocodiles, giant tortoises, reptiles and a variety of plants. It makes lunch feel more unusual and connected to your visit, especially if you are exploring La Vanille Nature Park with family.

The lunch menu brings familiar Mauritian flavours to the table, with fresh, colourful dishes for adults and easy favourites for children. Vegetarian options are available, and any dietary restrictions or allergies should be mentioned in advance.
