The Street Food Day – Port Louis to Mahébourg, Eating Like Locals
A private driver who eats where you are going: Port Louis Central Market, Chinatown and the Caudan stalls in the morning, then down to Mahébourg for the waterfront kitchens — Rs 1,500 of tastings included and chosen for you.
Mauritian food is street food: dholl puri, gato pima, boulettes, alouda, mine frite from a cart, briani from a pot. This day is a private car with a driver who eats this food every day, and Rs 1,500 of tastings included so you never have to guess what to order.
Morning in Port Louis: the Central Market, Chinatown's boulette counters, the Caudan stalls and an alouda at the market bar. Then south to Mahébourg: the waterfront kitchens, the Monday market if it is a Monday, and a plate of something you will talk about for years. Ask for the places that are only open before eleven, or the ones with no sign — the driver knows them.
