  • We’re in Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius and in this video we’re going on a MAURITIAN STREET FOOD TOUR to taste the classic dishes you have to try when you're here! We’ll take you from Port Louis’ bustling Central Market through the streets of Chinatown to Caudan Waterfront, trying street food along the way. The food on Mauritius is as diverse as the cultures that characterise the country. With influences from all over Asia, Africa and Europe, Mauritius is a great place for tasting wonderful flavours and fusion dishes.

    This video is part of a multi-part series of our ultimate ROAD TRIP THROUGH MAURITIUS! Mauritius is a popular honeymoon and beach holiday destination but it has so much more to offer than beautiful beaches (although there are many of them as well). We’re really excited to get to know this African island country and its culture and cuisine. On our road trip we’ll spend three weeks driving from the South up the West coast, then further into the North and finally down the East coast. Our goal is to get to know Mauritius from all sides, as well as check out its beautiful beaches and nature.

    I love the fact that you enjoyed my island, Specially the capital of Mauritius. Most of the shop is closed on Sunday and Friday afternoon. I would recommend you to try more cultural foods as well in Port louis.
    1. Korean Food: Mr Bao
    2. Indian Dishes:PUNJABI DHABA PVT LTD or Namo India
    3. Best Kebab: Shabaan Kebab
    4. Hotpot : Restaurant Lai Min
    5. Korean Food : Kimchi house (best )
    Your video is very informative and well distributed. Keep it up

    That was a really great review. I can see you did your homework
    My favorite dish is Mines frits and dessert Tarte Bananes... I'm sad some Mauritians small businesses keep selling their unsold nonfresh stash and in 2023 no authority exists to inspect that. Funny all my mates from Western Europe have a crush on Rougaille... which may cue to the Creole part lurking in them 😉

    I think you should get to know more about the food before even describing it. Whatever you are saying is wrong. The dumpling is not made of cabbage.. the dhall puri is not a pancake. So get to know more before you talk. You video is super bias.

    • @ZoeandSimon
      @ZoeandSimon  9 місяців тому +1

      Of course our video is subjective, as it's about our personal experience tasting these dishes - often for the first time. We're describing what we're eating and comparing the dish to other things we've tried before, so that viewers can get a better understanding of what we're experiencing. We research dishes before trying them, but we don't claim to be 100% accurate. And if we incorrectly call something a pancake, then I think most viewers will still understand what we mean.
