What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
MAHI MAHI offers a delightful dining experience with a focus on fresh, well-prepared seafood and creative cocktails. Many patrons praise the unique dishes like the Mahi Mahi with vanilla sauce and the friendly, accommodating service, especially for English speakers. However, some recent reviews mention inconsistencies in food quality and service speed, with one diner experiencing a significant issue with a specific dish and the owner's response.
"Wanted to take the wife's family out to dinner and Tuesday night was only day we had the chance. Not much open on a Tuesday night during the non tourist season in St Gilles but came across this gem of a place on google. Great find, the food was top notch, the staff were friendly and atmosphere inside is very nice. Everyone was really happy with their meals. Mahi Mahi with Vanilla sauce was well balanced, I was afraid the vanilla would be too over powering but it was perfect subtle. The Tuna (Thon) was probably the winner though.
Highly recommend if your are in town!"

"My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic lunch at Mahi Mahi today! The food was exceptional. I had the Duck Ramen, which was rich and flavorful, and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her Pad Thai. Both dishes were prepared to perfection.
Beyond the delicious food, the service was top-notch, and the restaurant has a wonderful setting, making for a truly memorable experience. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended."
David Barton
"The food is usually very delicious but, just so-so this time. The service was particularly slow this time. Apparently another table received our order, and no one on the staff wanted to admit to the error. Not a big deal.
Even though the waiter was kind, unless you are really interested in getting good food and explore new foods, I don’t particularly recommend this restaurant anymore."
