As all the great cuisine's of the world meet in Mautitius, the gourmet visitor can spend his whole vacation on the island without for that matter departing from his homegrown eating habits. But he is strongly advised to sample the local dishes. 

Try the island specialty, Creole. This type of cooking implements Western and eastern cooking into one remarkable style of dishes. For, just as in religion, culture and folklore, we offer a wealth of diversity. A Mauritian holiday is thus also an open invitation to a gastronomical trip round the world.

Visitors who wish to savoir their favorite native dishes will have no trouble doing so as all big hotels and the better known restaurants offer a standard international menu and in some cases with country specialties. You can thus follow up a French 'cordon bleu' cuisine with the subtleties of Indian and Chinese. These vary according to their 'provinces' of origin - with the possibility of savoring Italian, German, American and even Japanese dishes.
