Fast food and home catering Mauritius

Modern and airy, set at one end of the Cascavelle Mall, it's a convivial eatery with kiosks arranged around a central covered square. In addition to McDonald's, the bright, leafy space is home to a dozen other brands, including Mr Miyagi (Chinese), Debonairs (pizzas), Steers (burgers), Juice Bar (fresh juices, veggie snacks), Vndavana Pani Pani (Indian) and more. And for those who prefer to stay longer and have a "real meal", there's a choice of 3 very decent restaurants - Korean, Italian, Japanese.

This chain of cafés is omnipresent in Mauritius and particularly in Port Louis where it already has 8 branches. Its success is based on a vintage and warm decoration that makes you want to linger (gramophones, cement tiles, wood, metal, bricks, materials...), real good coffee prepared by a barista, a choice of fresh or iced drinks (latte, smoothie, detox cocktail...), homemade products to satisfy your sweet and sour cravings (macaroon, brownie, panini, wrap...), a good wifi connection and plugs. Efficient and in the air of time.

In the town centre, on the edge of the bay, directly on the sand and under the filaos of the beach, several shops have taken over this little corner of seaside greenery and offer fresh juices, ice creams, waffles, croque-monsieur (toasted sandwiches) and quick dishes of local cuisine. Cheap, in the open air, the place is almost nicer than a restaurant when you don't really feel like eating, but just to nibble a bite before or after an excursion, or to take a break for a quick drink or snack. A few tables and chairs in the shade

In the main pedestrian alley of the Caudan Waterfront, the one partially covered with umbrellas, it's impossible to miss the colorful stands selling fresh fruit juices. Mangoes, pineapples, oranges, bananas... it's hard to resist the freshness and creaminess of a fast-acting vitamin cure that smells of exoticism and pep! You can ask for a takeaway or take a break at one of the many outdoor tables and chairs set up for this purpose, from which you can watch the nonchalant ballet of strollers and the more hurried ballet of Port Louis workers.

A must for those who want to taste Mauritian street food and immerse themselves in an authentic local atmosphere, Desforges Street (alias SSR) is one of the most popular in Port Louis: a historic address to be discovered preferably in the evening, when the offices close, when the street lamps are lit, the animation is in full swing and the gargotes and street stalls are bursting with freshly cooked dishes. Effluents and colors form a devilishly lively picture in the hubbub of conversations and the smoke of the grills. And it's good too!

This charming organic grocery store also serves as a café and offers a few tables in a cozy setting. Everything here celebrates healthy, balanced and tasty food, based on quality products, sourced and fresh whenever possible. A choice of coffees made with filtered spring water and organic beans from Africa, hot chocolates with oat milk, a selection of detox drinks, boosters, matcha, smoothies made with berries, fruit, seeds and collagen, energy balls and bars... all gluten-free. Attentive service.

In the series of tin trailers that brighten up the roadside, it is impossible to miss the shimmering colors of Pierre's: this sunny yellow tickling a bright blue and these touches of red like a painting. For more than thirty years, the family has been treating passers-by and Mauritians in the area to this street food that is part of the island's DNA - dumplings, steamed ravioli and the unavoidable fried mines or noodles , as they are known locally in England. After Papa, Pierre and his wife took over, and it continues!

Recent, this space 100% local colors promotes the Mauritian street food, this famous street food which is part of the DNA of the island and allows to eat small delicious snacks at very low prices. We are in Caudan, a modern leisure and shopping area, so much so that the hygiene standards are respected. It's time to taste the Pani Puri, salted fried cakes, various dumplings, sugar cane drinks, etc. The stands are lined up on a small esplanade and you can nibble in the shade of large umbrellas.

A symbol of culinary globalisation, the hamburger also has its followers in Mauritius and its share of more or less recognised brands. Highly placed on the podium of the latter, Seb's Kitchen gives its letters of nobility to the most popular sandwich in the world via a version based on fresh and qualitative products, that is the key, declined in a reduced but tasty number of beautiful proposals. The beef, matured to perfection, comes from Australia and everything is homemade: bread, chips, sauces. For dessert, opt for the delicious cinnamon rolls or a giant cookie
