Mauritian cuisine is a unique blend — Indian, Creole, Chinese, European — best tasted first on the street: dholl puri, chilli cakes, boulettes and alouda for next to nothing. To truly get the island, sit down with a local family at a table d'hôtes around a shared curry.
Our food guides take you from the best street-food stalls to agricultural rum distilleries, by way of the Bois Chéri tea route and the art of booking a table d'hôtes. Sweet, spicy, fragrant: enough to eat local at every meal.
