For those who know Christian Lenferna de la Motte and Jean Mauvis, two well-known figures in the hospitality industry, the Ile Maurice will offer that same quality of food and excellent service for which they have been renowned for previously at the St. Geran Restaurant and now in Umhlanga. Jean Mauvis, who was taught by his ever-reliable mother Elsie, runs the kitchen in their new premises in McCausland Crescent, an old Umhlanga house that has been re-built to take best advantage of it's ocean views.
