Les Enfants Terribles. (Discotheque) Royal
road, Pointe aux Canonniers.
Les "Enfants Terribles" counts a medium-sized dance
floor indoor and especially a large patio with an open-air bar.
Open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, it is a rather traditional
nightclub with music of the 80's, suitable to people of all
ages, but most appreciated by the 40 to 50's who specially enjoy
its open-air area making "Les Enfants Terribles" an
hybrid between a bar and a nightclub.
Looking at the types of cars in the parking, it is clear that
"Les Enfants Terribles" enjoys a clientele of relatively
rich people but the success of the place is in offering to this
clientele the possibility to watch younger people, and attractive
jet-setters having fun. The mood heats up as dawn approaches
as many younger people stop by for a last drink.
"Les Enfants Terribles" is often crowded on weekends
and the management reserves the right of admission. Dress code
is smart casual.
" Les Enfants Terribles" is not the place for the
young, up-to-date party animals as the music is really decades
away but remains a good address for the "Look-at-me"
who likes to watch and be seen. The
Buddha Club (Discotheque) Royal road, Grand
Bay.
The name rings a bell of course but the only similarity with
the well-known Parisian "Bouddha Bar" is a statue
of Buddha which is not as nice and big as the one there.
After a good start as a fun bar, the Buddha was unfortunately
transformed into a nightclub. Entry is free of charge like most
clubs in Mauritius and the place is crowded. Open on Wednesdays,
Fridays and Saturdays, its clientele is fortunately a minimum
selected and except on rare occasions, behaves itself.
The music (mainly House) is fair to good but the sound system
could be improved; not only for the dance floor but to save
the ears of those who just wish to enjoy a drink at the bar.
The Buddha remains the right address for the 20 to 30's who
want to dance long nights on up-to-date music and a good address
for sexy dancing.
