On Montreal Restaurant Les Délices de l’ile Maurice Chef Deck Says:
WARNING: For all of you discriminating snobby eaters read no more.
You are about to experience a look into one of the most entertaining, deliciously different, Mauritius cuisine (mix of Creole, Asian, French, and Portuguese), type eateries in our grand city of Montreal. Sylvester is the definition of la joie de vie, he is a man who wakes up in the morning with a cold bottle and believes that there ain’t nothin better then a ridin the rail (or spending 5 weeks a year in Cuba with his “sisters”). Every meal starts with an amuse bouche of fried cabbage, with onions and peppers, accompanied by four sauces being spicy, coriander vinegar, I forget but good, and I forget but better. You then move on to a choice of appetizers, Creole chicken, shrimp salad, or smoked salmon salad all of which are phenomenally tasty. Next you get the soup of the day that’s great. For the main course you have a choice of shrimp, scallops, squid, sea base, salmon, some other seafood stuff, chicken, beef, lamb or ox tail, in your choice of curry, Creole, saffron, tomato, garlic butter, or honey sauce. All of the meals are amazing but not for the closed minded, health conscious, or pretty bird type eater. This is the perfect place to kick you in the balls, smack you across the face, and help you remember what’s really important in life (living free and peace of mind).

Sylvester is my hero! He makes you feel like you are at his house and cooks damm great food. If you want to have an amazing meal for almost no money and have the night of your life talking with Chef Sylvester this is the place.
I had dinner there last winter. The food was very tasty. My dinner companion had shrimp creole which were big, juicy and plentyfull. We enjoyed our evening very much.
When we went to the cash to pay, we could see in the kitchen (that’s in full view behind the cash) that uncooked shrimps were stored on the counter, next to the cooking area, in dirty water in a plastic container . We could also see other pieces of chicken and meat piles on the counter touching each other. Well…my dinner companion got sick that night…very sick. Given that he had nothing to eat more than 8 hours prior to his meal and felf fine before it could only be the shrimps.
My conclusion, Sylvester makes tasty food but would definitely need a refresher course on food handling safety !
I went severl times to this restaurant. The food is really good. It is a great way to discover the creole food.

We have eaten here numerous times and NEVER gotten sick. The food is great. We went a few weeks ago and the place has been fixed up. Sylvestre retired and other family members have taken over. There is now a written menu. This is a great place for good, inexpensive, tasty food. I
