A culinary journey through Mauritius


 
Travel & Tourism
Mauritius is home to idyllic beaches, crystal-clear waters and beautiful outdoor spaces. However, the island is also popular among holidaymakers for another reason - its delicious cuisine. Here are some things you can try on a getaway here.

Influenced by international cuisine

Mauritius's location 2,000 km off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean and its beautiful scenery has meant that many immigrants have moved here over the decades. As a result of this, you can expect to taste flavours that you will recognise from countries all over the world.

Its importance in the spice route means that ingredients such as cinnamon, cardamom and turmeric are grown here and used in a number of dishes. This is particularly the case with its Indian-influenced cuisines and you'll find restaurants serving an array of curries.

Expect these to be spicy due to chilli being one of the staple ingredients in Mauritius, along with garlic, onion and tomatoes. They also tend to be made without using coconut milk, so they could be hotter than you anticipate.

As well as Indian cuisine, Mauritius food has a strong Creole influence. One of the dishes to try to really experience this is risotto Creole, which isn't dissimilar from a jambalaya. This one-pot rice dish contains beef, sausage, chicken, onion, coriander, thyme, garlic, saffron and pepper.

Don't be surprised to find Chinese restaurants on the island, as there is a huge influence of oriental cuisine here. If you fancy a far eastern meal, tuck into egg fried rice, noodles and roast pork.

French meals are also popular, and visitors will find a variety of desserts on the menu that they can expect to see in France. Creamy cakes and pastries are among the top choices, and these are often welcome after a hot and filling main meal.

Street food

One type of cuisine you need to try, whether you stay in an all-inclusive hotel in Mauritius or not, is street food. Cooked and served out in the open, this is what locals eat day in, day out.

The recipes are quick and easy to make, and have been enjoyed by Mauritians for years on end. Try gateaux piment, a spicy yellow split pea cake that has been deep fried. These are made with coriander, spring onions, cumin and chillies, so aren't for the faint-hearted. However, if you like your spicy food, it is worth giving one of these a go.

Alternatively, you could try dholl purri, which is a wheat pancake with vegetables, pickles, yellow split peas and served with tomato sauce. These, along with other types of street food, are made on a hot metal plate before your eyes.

Seafood

Mauritius's location in the heart of the Indian Ocean means this is a great location to enjoy large portions of seafood. You can have simple prawn kebabs or fish curries, or you could try something special such as crab bouillon, salmon croquettes and octopus stew.

One of the island's most common dishes is rougaille - a tomato stew made with varying combinations of vegetables and meats, along with onions, garlic and chillies. You could instead opt for a seafood rougaille, if you want to combine two types of food Mauritius is renowned for.

If you love going on holiday to sample different cuisines, Mauritius could be the place for you. The island offers a variety of dishes influenced by places all over the world, including India, Africa, France and China. Look for an all inclusive holiday in sunny Mauritius with Beachcomber Tours and you can enjoy its delicious food.
