First up, Ahmed’s “dholl puri”—Mauritius’ iconic flatbread, a legendary family recipe that’s been delighting taste buds for generations and is a must-try!
But that’s just the beginning! The next stop will be for tasting Mauritian-style dumplings (“boulettes”), testimony of the Chinese culture present on the island.
During the tour, you will stop by the ‘Jardin de la Compagnie' with majestic Banyan trees, dating back to the French Occupation period. There, you will enjoy Indo-Mauritian “Faratas”, another special flatbread awaits, flavoured with curries and a sweet twist.
