Full-Day Mauritian Culinary Experience

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Port Louis, Port Louis

Port Louis market for shopping. Although small in size, the Market’s food court remains by far the best place to sample Mauritian food! Fritters, roti, various curries, dumplings, or noodles can all fit into a rs200 ($5.50) budget. If the heat of all the gas cookers running takes its toll, spare an extra rs40 ($1.10) for a refreshing Alouda, an ice-cold milk-based preparation served with agar-agar and psyllium grains (a natural laxative).

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Maison Eureka, Moka, Mauritius

Eureka House is a unique Creole house built in 1830 located by the river of Moka. It is an elegant Créole residence originally owned by British and French aristocrats in the 19th century. It is reputed to be one of the largest houses on the island, with 109 doors and windows.

Eureka house Mauritius
The visit of the Eureka Mansion and its grounds provides an intriguing glimpse into colonial life. The house is filled with antiques and photos of the period. It also has a magnificent garden surrounded by waterfalls of the Moka River.

The Eureka house was restored and opened to the public as a museum in 1986. The house is constructed largely of wood and surrounded by a long, shady veranda. The extensive grounds consist of a curious mix of natural Mauritian plant life, including mango trees and palms, a waterfall and an English-style garden.

The cooking class takes place there, followed by lunch.
