Overview

This food tour is the perfect option for those who want to experience the local Port Louis life as well as go deeper into China Town, discovering its rich culture, its vivid street art, and fusional flavours.

We will first visit Port Louis, taste its delicious street food, meet those that prepare it, and learn the history of the capital city of Mauritius.
We will then enter the gates of China Town and feel like we're somewhere else.

We will enjoy all the Mauritian street food classics like dholl puris or "boulettes", then we will also relish on some Chinese specialties with a Mauritian twist.

We will also learn of the struggles of this neighbourhood and how it has managed to transform itself to become a hotspot of Chinese heritage, street art and delicious food.

The revival of China Town is inspiring ; it brought families together and restored the sense of community.

During our honeymoon we wanted to get to know Port Louis a little better and what better way than with a culinary tour of the city. The tour lasted about 3.5 hours and was a mix of sightseeing and culinary tour. During the tour we had a variety of dishes such as Roti, duck, fruits, Chinese dessert and many more. The criticism of some that there is too little to eat during the tour, we can not understand at all. For us it was more than sufficient. Our tour, which we had with another couple, was led by Rudi. With his competent and funny manner, he gave us a better understanding of Port Louis and Mauritius both culturally and culinary. All in all we van say, it was an extremely interesting and especially delicious tour that we can recommend to everyone.

I did not get a great feeling for this place some parts especially round the market area we're very dirty the centre part we're slightly better. Took a taxi the following day to tour the island once again not overly impressed but that could be the fact it never stopped raining !!

We initially took the Grand Baie food tour with Adrien, who was great - very engaging, personable and enthusiastic - and he really helped us find a few new gems in the town (although it was our fourth visit to the island, we had never felt we'd really 'cracked' Mauritian food). The Grand Baie tour helped open up some fantastic new options for us, and we retuned to several of them afterwards. We enjoyed the experience so much we decided to book a second tour, so ended up doing the China Town tour in Port Louis with Rudi. This was another really positive experience . We had visited bustling Port Louis before, but had no real idea of where to find the best street food options. Rudi's strong local knowledge was so helpful, and the various eating places selected for us were nicely varied and off the beaten track. We'd never have found the roti stand, or the little family bakery that did such delicious cakes! We enjoyed everything we ate on both tours, and Adrien and Rudi were professional and charming. Though they must both have done so many of these tours, they still managed to sound fresh and enthusiastic! Very highly recommended for anyone wanting to get a bit deeper into everyday Mauritian life, culture and food. Many thanks!

Loved this food tour with Taste Buddies. Great value for money - you get all food and drinks included in the tour. Great way to see Port Louis on foot, and a good mix of history and food. Everything was delicious and so unique. Would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys trying local food with some history thrown in. Such a fun way to spend a day in Mauritius!
