AMEDEE MAINGARD LOUNGE
and Lufthansa, to name but a few. Economy class
travellers are also welcome, on condition of paying
an access fee. Spreading over two floors, the
Amédée Maingard lounge can accommodate no
less than 400 people. The first floor is usually
open for breakfast, whilst the second floor
is open for lunch and dinner, but this may
not always be the case. Both floors are never
accessible simultaneously, for maintenance and
cleaning reasons. The lounge is thus open on an
almost 24/7 basis. The heart-stopper : on the
second floor, a huge picture window overlooks
the runway, creating a live painting of air traffic
on a colourful backdrop of bright green sugar
cane fields and turquoise blue lagoon…
The food, drinks and service are impeccable.
« We wanted to be in the same class as the best
Mauritian hotels. Since most of our guests
have stayed, or are about to stay in one of the
island’s most magnificent hotels, we felt it
was important that we offer the same level of
service in terms of hospitality. » The buffets
are hearty, succulent and varied, serving up
international food that is a reflection of Air
Mauritius’ multicultural clientele.
«  We try to cater to everybody’s taste by
offering something familiar and appreciated.
All our buffets include dishes from around
the world : Asian, African, European ... Not to
mention the little Mauritian touch, because
we make it a point to help travellers discover
typical local dishes such as briani, rougaille
saucisse (sausages in tomato sauce), dholl
puris and many others,   » we are told. Since
the menu changes every two months, regular
visitors are treated to a wide variety of dishes.
Alcoholic beverages (cognacs, wines, quality
rums, whiskeys ...) are carefully selected by the
Air Mauritius-appointed sommelier.
Featuring showers, luggage storage, baby
changing facilities, a children’s area, relaxation
and rest areas with soft music, and fully
accessible to persons with physical disabilities,
this exceptional lounge never ceases to amaze.
Do not miss out on this luxurious,
unique experience during your next visit to
Mauritius…
