There is a saying: "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" - if this is true, then Mauritius has certainly already received thousands of marriage proposals.

This island nation is know for its beauty and this beauty can also cook exceptionally well.

Beware, this article could cause a big appetite and hunger and yes, the next flight to Mauritius is just a mouse click away. Let's meet for dinner, I'll make a reservation.


Mauritius - this natural beauty and fascinating island in the Indian Ocean seduces with beautiful beaches and lagoons coral reefs, its cultural diversity, historical sites and unique natural phenomena
(for example: the seven-coloured earth of Chamarel - a geological wonder)
AND its culinary diversity.

This harmonious blend of Indian, Creole, Chinese and European influences is a pure delight to be savored to the full.

The diversity of cuisine in Mauritius is the result of the island's rich and complex history, which has been characterized by different cultures and populations groups.

How to summarize a long story in a nutshell.
Well, I'll try it.

Mauritius' colonial past is key factor in Mauritian cuisine.
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to discover Mauritius in the 16th century, the Dutch colonised the island in the 17th century, the French inhabited Mauritius in the 18th century and the British took control of the island in the early 19th century.

Migration and immigration also had a strong influence, from African slaves and Indian contract laborers to Chinese and European immigrants - as you can see, a wide variety of culinary cultures came together here and left their mark.

Over the centuries, the cultural exchange, new plants and fruits, a variety of new spices, ingredients and disc hen and different preparation techniques, combined with local ingredients, have led to the Mauritian cuisine of today - YUMMY!

You definitely won't go hungry on your journey of discovery in Mauritius, delicious street food (flatbreads with curries, chutneys and pickled vegetables), creole cuisine (tomato-based stews, often prepared with fish, chicken or sausage and served with rice and beans or alternatively a refreshing octopus salad), Indian influences (fragrant rice pots, the flat carats bread with curry, stuffed dumplings), Chinese influences (fried noodles with chicken prawns and vegetables or steamed dumplings) - I could go on endlessly.

Remember STRESSED spelled backwards is DESSERTS - and this holiday will reverse any stress.
What about coconut cake, Napolitaines (small filled Biscuits, Tarts banana (turtles with banana puree), .......  and so much more.

Mauritius - enjoy with all your senses (definitely not palace to go on a diet)
