Accepted Answer

For anyone with Mauritius flight deals, you'll be able to try Mauritian cuisine, which is highly influenced by its tropical location, as well as the different cultures and religions of the country. The food has a mix of French, Creole, Chinese, European and Indian influences. Due to being surrounded by the sea, it is frequently seafood heavy. Curries are a key part of Mauritian cuisine, but unlike Indian curries, these are often made from a base of garlic, onion, and curry leaves, and they’re not too spicy. They’re eaten with rice or flatbreads. Biryanis are another popular dish. You’ll find dim sum or momos, as they’re called locally, which are steamed, fried or boiled Chinese dumplings filled with vegetables or meat. Seafood plays a major role in stews and curries. Look out for dishes like fried or chili squid, crab curry and vindaye fish, most often found adjacent to the beach roads. Another delicacy is palm heart salad, known as millionaire’s salad locally. It’s made with the insides of palm trees. For those of you with a sweet tooth, you’ll find plenty to satisfy your cravings. Try to taste a tomahto – a tasty cookie made of coconut and sugar.

You’ll find all kinds of species in the Mauritian waters, including barracuda, sharks, and yellow tuna amongst many others.
