What food and culture should I expect?
Posted on Sep 01, 2025 / Travel
The food scene is awesome and totally eclectic: Creole, Indian curries, Chinese stir-fries, and French-influenced pastries all show up on menus and street stalls. Street food is a highlight — try dholl puri (a flatbread stuffed with split peas), fresh seafood, and samosas from market vendors. English and French are common, but Mauritian Creole is widely spoken and gives daily life its relaxed personality. Festivals and religious holidays from different communities make the calendar lively, so check if your trip lines up with any local celebrations. You’ll find dining ranges from casual beach shacks to upscale resort restaurants, so budget travelers and luxury seekers both leave happy.
