Dagotiere, the friendliest village in Mauritius?
We visit Dagotiere in the Moka District of Mauritius, and it might be one of the friendliest places. Starting with Vishal snack for some great fried chicken we took to the streets. Everyone had a warm welcome and showed us around with a smile. We tried a new snack and ate some peanuts from an old friend and then it was off to Alma, a grand sugar mill chimney. We managed to get some great drone footage, our first of a chimney, I was beaming like a kid. We also checked out the new housing estate opened by Mr. Modi of India and the Mauritian prime minister. A short stop at Dickson lake and a few guavas rounded off a very enjoyable day. Thanks go out to the welcoming people of Dagotiere.

The MAURITIUS food you have to try | Delicious street food
Let's discover some of the Mauritius food you have to try when visiting the island. A convenient way to sample many of the popular street foods of Mauritius (and learn about its history) is through a food tour of Port Louis. We had a great experince with Taste Buddies, a local company that runs 3 -hour food tours both in Port Louis and in the South of the island. Of course, you can also have a DIY Mauritius street food tour, using the shops we visited as guidance. Everything we tried was delicious, the dholl puri being our favorite!

Pamplemousses, Mauritius. (We check out the bell of mystery)
We look into the mystery of the strange bell and churches, cemeteries, places of historic value, bridges, a train station, but visiting the main street of the village was the best. Pamplemousses was awesome, pity about the lack of grapefruit!

Curepipe Mauritius (It didn't rain) Glorious sunshine day
We visit Curepipe on a glorious sunny day. What a place. From the historic to the hustle and bustle of a huge city. Only recently out of the red zone, the city is coming back with a bang.
The market is an impressive art deco structure where we started our tour of Curepipe, with tons of fresh produce inside, including chicken, lamb, beef and a host of different types of fish, from tuna to snapper.
We walked the street in what can only be described as the heart Curepipe and discovered a type of shopping mall call arcades. one even had a garden in it. On one of the back streets, we found a grill. They were cooking chicken and lamb, it smelt so good we bought some lamb.
We then visited the royal college, which is an imposing structure, as if it had been plucked from the hallowed universities of Cambridge or Oxford. In front of the college is the National Heritage site of the missing soldier from world war one, with Tommy and Paulu.
At the main crossroads of Curepipe we saw the iconic MCB building and the Arcade across the street that looks even older but is just designed to look that way. Inside the Arcade is a great cake shop, Chelseas Cup and Cake and a very trendy bar.
A short walk down the road leads you to St Theresa's Church, a magnificent old building which is currently under renovation. Across the road from the church is the Curepipe Municipality building complex which houses quite a few National Monuments in the form of statues. One is of Paul and Virginie in bronze, copied exactly from the original by D'Epinay in marble. Another is of Abbot Caile who was the first person to chart the stars of the Southern Hemisphere. He also calculated the exact location of Mauritius and produced a detailed map.
Next to the Municipality is the Carnegie Library and the Town Hall which are both National Heritage sites. The Carnegie Library was built with funds donated by Carnegie and filled with books donated by many Mauritian collectors. The Town Hall is undergoing extensive renovation but interestingly was originally built in Moka and moved to Curepipe.
We then went into Lakesview Mall which is a food court overlooking a beautiful waterway. Curepipe is known as The City of Lights and this is because it had electricity back in 1865! Many people had moved here from Port Louis during the malaria outbreaks and the arrival of the train led to even further development. Canals were built in the 1930s which greatly reduced the humidity and swampiness, but couldn't halt the extraordinary amount of rain.
At the end of our tour of Curepipe, we visit the old market which will be transformed shortly as the trains are returning in the form of a metro. We enjoy a dhol puri from one of the many food vendors near the bus station.

Grand River South East Mauritius Vlog
We explore the Grand River South East area or GRSE as everyone seems to call it. We started at the dock where we met a local guy Steve with his boat, Andre. We then walked around the Laguna Beach Hotel and flew the drone over it. Next up was the hunt for food.
Luckily an old BMW 318i stopped us at a great snack shop called Site shop on Google maps. We ate great fish roti and the best-fried chicken in Mauritius. A quick stop at the fish landing and ferry point to look around. I got some solar-powered ice cream.
We continued and got to a lookout point full of monkeys and met Louis. We flew the drone over the waterfall and then headed to the sugar mill, Deep water Beau champ. It was an epic adventure.

Mauritian Street Food: Discover a melting pot of flavours with Four Seasons Resort Mauritius
Mauritius is an island nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean. Its street food draws inspiration from its vibrant cultural diversity (mainly from India, China, Africa, and Europe), and dishes are full of character and flavour. Elements and techniques from the blend of cuisines meld seamlessly to provide bursts of flavour that you can’t find anywhere else.
Often described as a cuisine that combines an abundance of colourful wonders, Mauritian cooking combines a number of different techniques; fried, grilled and steamed. It uses the glistening destination as an ongoing inspiration. The most common ingredients used in Mauritian cuisine are tomatoes, red onions, curry leaves, garlic, and chillies. Seafood such as fish and octopus are also staple ingredients served alongside Farata; a flatbread from India.
At Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita, the menus are curated to reflect the island’s eclectic identity. An array of creole dishes are available to sample at Bambou. Guests wishing to discover more about Mauritian cuisine can also partake in a private cooking class at the Resort, where our Chefs will share their inherited culinary secrets. There is nothing like wandering the streets of Mauritius on an adventure to try local gems that will leave a lingering umami taste and quench your thirst with a freshly cut coconut.

Price of vegetables in Mauritius - Vacoas Market
We return to Vacoas, now known as the Manhatten of Mauritius, to visit the fruit, vegetable, and food market. We started our adventure with a new fruit for us, custard apple, and then onto some old favorites, Chinese guavas, and gatos. Lining the outside of the market are dozens of food stands and snacks, and they were filled with new and exciting eats. Vacoas has become a place of innovation in new and exciting food, as well as bringing the old favorites and historic classics.
It's not only about the great food, it is also a massive structure filled with vegetables, fruits, and clothing. We walked around and checked the price, no tomatoes for us, wow, the prices were extreme, but there were a few other bargains out there.

Food capital of Mauritius? - Phoenix Route A10
We walk down the A10 Road in Phoenix, and while there are a few regular shops, a dance studio, and a bank, this road is mostly food shops. From Cozy burger, QFC, Amigos, and hundreds of snack shops and street sellers, you have a choice of almost anything your heart desires. We tried more than a few and end up stuffed full of delicious goodies. I suggest a stroll down this road as a DIY street food tour, followed by the Zumba dance class at the end.

The Food Factory - most popular restaurant in Mauritius
The Food Factory in Grand Baie is what everyone is talking about, despite Burger King opening in Mauritius. We go check it out to find out what makes this local eatery so popular.
Three guys with a dream and a lot of hard work and perseverance have turned this kebab and pizza place into a must try restaurant. The staff are expertly trained, coming from high end hotels where they lost their jobs to to the current crisis, and work happily as a team to bring you the freshest food.
The lunch time specials at The Food Factory are really good value for money but certainly do not skimp on quality and quantity. The pizza is the best we have had in Mauritius and actually probably the cheapest.
This is more than just a restaurant though, it is truly an experience. You leave with a full belly and a warm heart.
