A Melting Pot of Flavors
Mauritian cuisine is a true reflection of its history: a Creole base enriched with Indian spices, French techniques and Chinese flavors. It is an aromatic, varied and deeply tasty gastronomy.
Must-Try Dishes
Dholl Puri
Considered the national dish. It is a thin pancake made of ground yellow peas, filled with bean curry, achard (pickled vegetables) and chutney. It is sold on every corner and it is delicious.
Rougaille
A classic dish of Creole origin. It consists of a thick tomato sauce cooked with garlic, onion, ginger, thyme and chili peppers, to which meat, fish, sausages or even tofu is added.
Mauritian Biryani
Local adaptation of the Indian dish. It is an aromatic rice cooked with spices (clove, cardamom, cinnamon), potatoes and meat (chicken or beef), traditionally prepared in large copper pots called 'deg'.
Millionaire's Salad
An exclusive delicacy made with the heart of the palm tree (palmito). It is served raw, cut into thin slices, with a light dressing. It is called that because to obtain the palm heart you have to sacrifice a palm tree that is several years old.
Renversé Bowl (Dump Bowl)
A very popular Chinese influenced dish. It is assembled in a bowl with a fried egg at the base, followed by sautéed meat and vegetables, and finally rice. When served, it is poured onto the plate creating a perfect dome.
Typical Drinks
Agricultural Rum
Mauritius produces some of the best rums in the world. Local distilleries offer tastings of rums infused with vanilla, coffee, spices or tropical fruits.
Alouda
A refreshing and sweet drink based on milk, basil seeds (tukmaria), agar-agar gelatin and vanilla or almond essence. It's the perfect accompaniment to a hot day at the market.
Bois Chéri tea
The most famous tea on the island, grown in the highlands. Vanilla-scented black tea is the most beloved variety and is traditionally served with milk and sugar.
Phoenix Beer
The local beer par excellence. Light and refreshing, it is the ideal companion for any meal in front of the sea.
Traditional Sweets
Gateau Patate
Small crescent-shaped cakes made of sweet potato and filled with grated coconut and sugar. They are typical of family celebrations.
Neapolitains
Two melting shortbread cookies held together by a layer of guava jam and covered with a pink sugar glaze. They are an irresistible sweet delight.
Tropical Fruits with Salt and Chili
A very common way to eat pineapple, mango or guava is cut into pieces and sprinkled with a mixture of salt, sugar and chili powder. A surprising contrast of flavors.
