Rivazur, a restaurant located in Azuri Village on the north-east coast of Mauritius, has announced its new culinary program for the summer season. The program features a series of unique events and culinary experiences that showcase Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with a focus on local flavors, live music, and carefully selected wine and rum pairings. This new program aims to provide guests with an unforgettable dining experience in a picturesque beachside setting. Rivazur has been serving refined Mediterranean-inspired cuisine to local and international clients since its opening in December 2025.

The summer program includes a range of events, starting with a Sunday brunch on the first Sunday of every month, from October 2026, from 11am to 3:30pm. The brunch features a selection of appetizers, desserts, signature dishes, and a dedicated cocktail menu. Live DJ music will be played from noon onwards, creating a perfect ambiance for a leisurely Sunday lunch by the beach. Additionally, Rivazur's Chef Bhavish Choytooa will prepare a special lobster-themed menu every other Friday, featuring freshly caught lobster and island-inspired flavors.

One of the highlights of Rivazur's summer program is the "Rhum & Gastronomie" evening on September 30, from 6:30pm to 10:30pm. The event features a three-course menu paired with local rhums produced by Grays, accompanied by live music from local artists. Each dish has been carefully crafted to be enjoyed with or without rum, providing an authentic and savory experience. The mixologist will also prepare a selection of cocktails and mocktails made with rum to complement the menu.

On October 25, Rivazur will host a wine tasting evening in partnership with Phoenix Beverages. The event will feature several renowned wines paired with delicious Mediterranean tapas. A sommelier will guide guests through a selection of four wines, exploring their characteristics and nuances. This event provides a unique opportunity for wine enthusiasts to discover new wines in a beautiful beachside setting.

From October 4 onwards, Rivazur will launch its "BBQ on the Beach" series, which takes place on the first Sunday of every month from 11am to 3:30pm. The event features a selection of premium meats, seafood, and whole fish, all grilled to perfection and served on the beach. The event will also feature live DJ music and a cocktail menu, providing a fun and relaxed atmosphere for guests.

Rivazur will also be celebrating Oktoberfest on October 15, starting from 6pm. The event features a happy hour from 6pm to 7:30pm, with a selection of beers, beer-based cocktails, and a special tapas menu prepared by the chef.
