What to eat on your Mauritius holiday
Before trying the many delicious and exotic dishes the island's restaurants have to offer, try the street food. Creole, African, Indian, and Chinese cuisine combine to form spiced and colourful dishes. Whereas there are many excellent Indian and Chinese restaurants, you must not miss the Creole cuisine, at its best at Escale Créole or La Cuisine Saisonniere. Many restaurants also offer vegetarian and vegan options.
Holidays with kids in Mauritius
From your Mauritius accommodation, take a day trip to Ile des Deux Cocos, where you can snorkel and explore the surrounding waters in a glass-bottomed boat. Many catamaran trips come with a buffet of barbequed meats, fish, and seafood. Alternatively, join a guided tour to Ile aux Aigrettes to admire the ebony trees and wild tropical flowers. The island's many wildlife parks offer children wonderful learning adventures. Try Casela World of Adventures, a sanctuary for rare birds, or La Vanille Nature Park, where you can see baby Aldabra tortoises and crocodile.
