a vast variety of local fish , meat and vegan options
Positive
There's something for everyone, including excellent vegetarian and vegan options.
Across TripAdvisor, Booking, Google, and Trip.com, guests consistently highlight extensive plant-based choices including vegan sushi, pastries, and dedicated fine-dining tasting menus by Michelin-starred chef Alexis Gauthier at The Cove restaurant. Staff actively accommodate vegan diets by preparing special dishes, and many restaurants feature clearly labeled vegan options at breakfast. However, negative and mixed reports indicate variability: some guests found the premium vegan tasting menu underwhelming in flavor despite beautiful presentation, breakfast offerings insufficient without special request, and The Cove's vegan menu not always included in all-inclusive packages, limiting access for some vegan diners.

The Cove offers fantastic seafood and vegan menus

The themed nights that we went to at the main restaurant had a HUGE array of buffet choice (again even for vegans) and breakfast was the same, how the pastry chef managed to make such delicious vegan pastry's I will never know!

The Cove is the only restaurant that has additional costs and is quite expensive but lovely for a one off special. This restaurant is either lobster or vegan and we enjoyed the setting.
Mixed
The vegan restaurant (The Cove) is not included in the all inclusive, so we did not eat there.
Positive
I am vegetarian and we didn't struggle once with options, in fact I didn't manage to try all the options through out our stay as they were so extensive including beyond meat burgers, vegetarian sushi, vegan bacon pizzas and vegan Caesar salad to name a few!
Positive
Gluten free and vegan menu options were available

exceptional vegan food which, as an omnivore I was more than happy to indulge is, and am quite the convert!

Lots of fish but lots of veggie/vegan options too.

There is such a wide selection of food to try which caters to all tastes including vegan and sushi.

We decided to try the vegan menu at The Cove - it was created and designed by the first vegan chef to hold a Michelin star so definitely worth a try. Neither of us were blown away by it, one dish was basically just a bowl of peas and sweetcorn but the starter bread was delicious, the chilled cucumber soup was deliciously refreshing and the dessert was amazing. I actually think though that some of the vegan options on the everyday menus around the resort were better and more inventive and colourful.
Positive
One of us is not a raw fish fan but there were plenty of vegan and cooked meat options which were so tasty.
Positive
The vegan sushi options were amazing (as someone who can't eat shellfish).
Positive
Large selection of brekkie items and great vegan options.
Mixed
We had the Gauthier vegan testing menu at the cove which was great, but tbh the standard was so high in the other restaurants that it did not really seem worth the supplement. All the restaurants had veggie and vegan options.
Positive
A good range of food choices, with vegetarians & vegans well catered for.

I am vegan and there were always plenty of options particularly in the buffet and the Peninsula restaurant. Staff showed a good understanding of allergies and the menu and dishes were mostly clearly labelled.

The main reason we chose this hotel is their broad range of vegan options. My boyfriend is vegan, and he was in absolute heaven. We had an amazing option in all meals and wasn't stuck to just one

Positive
We booked an evening dinner at The Cove restaurant to have the vegan tasting menu which was delicious.
Mixed
with the amount of plant based foods was a huge plus for us, with the overall quality of the food being sensational. The XO Asian restaurant was our favourite, but we wouldn't rush back to the vegan menu at The Cove - the vegan food in the main restaurant is nicer!
Positive
And desserts for vegan is like unexpectedly very very good.
Positive
food wonderful and versatile also for vegans/vegetarians.

Alex Gauthrie Michelin Star vegan dinner. I had the lobster version which was better but we were not impressed by the vegan meals. They were beautifully presented, but lacked any taste punch or wow factor.

The breakfast is in general offering a big variety of food, but not if you are vegetarian, or vegan. In this case one would have to limit him/herself to fruits only!
Positive
The Chef was very accommodating - he prepared vegan dishes when my dad joined us for dinner on the 23rd.

As a vegan, they catered to me so well. Always coming up with special dishes in each of the restaurants.

With my Gf being vegan the chef came out every meal to let her know that she was not to going to be forgotten about. They served us both equally lovely dishes every meal.

If you're vegan I think you'd possibly struggle as Mauritians are big meat and fish eaters and most vegetarian dishes include a dairy or egg element.
Positive
The Peninsula and XO provide stunning dishes and cater for all diets with excellent Vegetarian and Vegan options.
Positive
We are both vegan and tend to be happy eating whatever we can on holiday , but at the main restaurant the head chef went out of his way to cook us a separate meal every single day.
Positive
Highly recommend the Greek salad, Mauritian snacks and the vegan burger!
Positive
Being vegetarian and almost vegan I had no need to worry they cater for everyone

Vegan options are already on the menu and will be expanded from what we understand.

pastries and then a cooled area with fruits, all types of yogurt, cereal, milks and even a gluten free/vegan corner.

We were happy to be the first customers to experience the Vegan Menu and it will be our pleasure to visit Gauthiers restaurant in London Soho later on. My husband who has always been a big fan of seafood and enjoys also meat dishes, said that he could easily turn in to be a vegan if vegan food would always be like this.
Positive
We also paid extra to dine at The Cove, where I had the Alexis Gaultier vegan menu and my partner the seafood menu, both of which were lovely and served in a very romantic setting.

What took us to Paradise Cove was the newly launched Alexis Gauthier vegan menu. In case you're hesitant about vegan food, then this menu is outstanding.
