Taste Buddies – Authentic Food Tours

We offer guided food tours of Mauritius to discover the island’s rich history, diverse culture and authentic places – all through local Mauritian food and drinks. 

 

Taste the typical street food of Mauritius and eat at some of the best local restaurants. There are many things to do in Mauritius, but to truly know Mauritius, you must taste Mauritius. With Taste Buddies experience the region, its culture and its lifestyle through your taste buds.

 

Mauritius is a melting pot of cultures, and the local food reflects this ethnic diversity. Indian curries, Creole “rougailles”, Muslim biryanis, Chinese “boulettes” and French baguettes are proof of the culinary dynamics present on the island.

“To know Mauritius, you must taste Mauritius…”

Our Food Tours

1. Port Louis Street Food Tour

For our first tour, we decided to showcase the island’s capital city with the Port Louis Street Food Tour. This is fitting, considering that in 2017, CNN and The Telegraph ranked Port Louis as one of the greatest cities for street food in the world.

During the Port Louis Street Food Tour, we will taste a variety of delicious Mauritian street food, see the iconic Port Louis sites and learn about the fascinating history and diverse culture of Mauritius. You will be sure to fall under the spell of that Mauritian charm

2. Mahebourg Village Food Tour

Starting at Pointe des Régates, we will first stroll along Mahebourg’s blue lagoons, then we will head deeper into the village’s streets to discover the region through food. During the Mahebourg Village Food Tour, we will stop at various local restaurants and street food vendors to taste some local food. Between each food stop, we will discover Mauritian culture and learn about the history of the Mahebourg region.

3. Grand Bay Home-Made Food Tour

During the Grand Bay Food Tour we will discover how Grand Bay (Grand Baie) has evolved from a once abandoned region where escaped slaves took refuge, to one of the most visited tourist destinations in Mauritius. We will rediscover the real Grand Bay, its history and culture, through a variety of Mauritian dishes, prepared at some of the town’s best restaurants. At each food spot, we will not only taste many local flavours, but we will also meet the locals of Grand Bay and hear their stories.

“A truly Mauritian holiday is beyond the beach and into the heart of the island. Culture is the heart, and local food the beat that gives it life.”
