Our journey begins with a brief history of Mauritius, as we stroll through the charming streets of Pamplemousses. Just opposite the famous Botanical Garden, we’ll stop for our first food tasting: a traditional Mauritian Creole dish. This delicious specialty is a fusion of Chinese, Indian and African flavours, constituting the perfect introduction to the island’s rich culinary heritage.

Next, we delve into the village’s history, visiting two historical monuments that serve as poignant reminders of the slave trade in Mauritius. These sites have withstood the passage of time and stand as a testament to our collective responsibility to remember and ensure such history is never repeated.

A short walk brings us to Bye, a local entrepreneur serving mouthwatering, freshly-made Mauritian rotis. It’s a simple yet delightful treat that captures the essence of everyday Mauritian street food. Continuing the journey, we’ll step into a 70-year-old family-run bakery, where the third-generation owners will greet us with some sweet Mauritian delights.

Our exploration carries on with a visit to an old church built in 1753 and two nearby graveyards, where you’ll gain deeper insight into the village’s colonial past and religious heritage.

Next, we’ll sit down for one of the most beloved dishes in Mauritius: Mauritian biryani. In a cozy, stone-walled setting, you’ll savour the incredible blend of spices and flavours that make this dish a favourite amongst locals.

Because no tour of Pamplemousses can be complete without a visit to the iconic Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, our guide will lead you through its most notable landmarks, offering the perfect backdrop for memorable photos.

If you’re seeking authentic Mauritian flavours and cultural discoveries, this tour promises to be an unforgettable experience!
