We had a great time with our tour guide! He explained quite a lot about Mauritius's history and we learnt how it's history influenced the Mauritian food. Great food stops (don't eat to much before the tour ;-)), great variety of Mauritian food. Highly recommended. Thank you for this amazing way to get to know Mauritius!

Full description

Start your journey at Le Caudan Waterfront, and head away from the familiarity of tourist-friendly spaces. Walk through the bustling streets of Port Louis. Mauritius has some amazing food, influenced by its Indian, Chinese, and African cultures. The central market is one of the best places to experience the best Mauritian food. For a taste of the Gujarati influence, you’ll find fresh, deep-fried gato pima, or chili bites. Made with soaked split peas, zingy spring onions, and green chilies, these really do pop in your mouth. Next, travel through the gates of the Chinatown of Port Louis to discover treats derived from Hakka Chinese dishes. The tour includes about 8 different dishes to try.

The tour was what made our visit to Port Louis memorable. Our guide managed to tell us about the history of Mauritius through food. We visited places that were only for locals and we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Everything was tasty and in ample amounts, so do come to the tour with an empty stomach. Our guide gave us plenty of instructions on the preparation of the dishes and inspired me to try to cook them at home.
