OUR FOOD
​
Everyone knows about the Dodo bird, little did they know it was unique to Mauritius.
​
The island, with its vast colonial history, was visited by the Portuguese between 1507 and 1513. However, the first long-term settlers were the Dutch who named the island after their Prince Maurits Van Nassau. Unfortunately, the Dodo bird landed on the Dutch barbecue, leading to their extinction.
​
Later between 1715 and 1810, the French rule Mauritius, after which the island was captured by the British until the independence of Mauritius in 1968.
​
After the abolition of slavery on the island in 1835, the British went to India, China, Pakistan in search of indentured laborers.
​
Hence, Mauritian cuisine is fusion of European, African, Indian and Chinese influences.
​
We look forward to sharing our a taste of our paradise island with you.
