A culinary journey in Mauritius: follow the guide!

Food lovers, gourmets or curious about new experiences? Mauritius’ unique blend of cultures makes for a wide variety of cuisines to be savoured while on holiday in the island. Discover our secrets to delight your senses on your stay at Mythic Suites&Villas.  

Grand Bay as a starting point

From gourmet restaurants to street fooding, Mauritius offers a unique tasting experience that will delight your taste buds. French, English, Chinese, Indian, Muslim and African influences blend in with the abundance of local spices and products to create a cuisine rich in colour and flavour.

Your culinary exploration begins in Grand Bay, fifteen minutes from your hotel residence. Its wide range of restaurants will give you a first glimpse of the local cuisine. Our concierges can recommend and book the restaurant that suits your tastes, so don’t miss out on trying everything. From the vendors on bike offering fried vegetables (badia, gajack), to the salty-sweet flavours of the many Chinese restaurants, to the gastronomic fusion restaurants, you are spoilt for choice. Find our tips on Grand Bay here (LINK).

As you wander around the island, you will find many restaurants along the way, in the towns, on the coast and sometimes even far out in the countryside. Take the time to check the menu and treat yourself to a tasty interlude.

Traditional Creole cuisine: head for the tables d’hôtes

If, as a true gourmet, you favour hospitality and quality and would like to try traditional Creole cuisine, we would recommend a few less formal tables d’hôte addresses with a reputation for excellence:

• ” Chez Tante Athalie “ in Pamplemousses in a beautiful garden with century-old trees and a beautiful collection of old cars
• ” Kot Marie-Michelle “ in Midlands, in the heart of the island, with a warm welcome and typical Creole cuisine
• ” L’Escale Créole “ in Moka, set in a superb garden, serves traditional and tasty dishes in a friendly atmosphere
