LAO ZHAO HOTPOT RESTAURANT

---

Shanghai can also be found at the port - it's so very real deal. Lao Zhao Hotpot lets the food do the talking. Perched overlooking Port Louis and the Caudan Waterfront, you can watch harbour traffic shuffle by while deciding how brave to be with the chilli oil. Air conditioning keeps everyone composed—a blessing once the broth begins to simmer.

Broths, meats, vegetables and sauces arrive with authenticity and the drinks fridge matches. The experience is part cooking, part social ritual, entirely addictive once you find the rhythm.

Choice is where it shines: mild, fiery, herbal or mushroom-rich broths, thinly sliced beef that curls instantly, seafood that cooks in seconds and sauces you personalise. Book ahead—once the pots are going, the room fills fast. For anyone seeking genuine hotpot with a waterfront view, Lao Zhao delivers every time.
