Where to have Brunch in Mauritius

Brunch is for when you don’t have to set an alarm in the morning and have nowhere to go that afternoon. It’s for days when a plain piece of toast and a lacklustre cappuccino simply will not suffice. Brunch is an invitation to give yourself an occasional break from your monotonous routine and enjoy quality time with the family and friends in a refreshing setting while relishing a decadent mid-morning meal.

It can also be your much-needed hangover cure if you have been out partying the night before or an indulgent start to a long weekend. At brunch, you can take it slow and enjoy delicious menus featuring traditional breakfast favourites like pancakes, avocado toast and eggs (any style) along with a selection of fresh cold-pressed juices and freshly made brews. As your appetite grows, you can move on to heartier options like smoked salmon, roast lamb, grilled steaks, pizzas and cocktails.

Although, brunch is relatively new in Mauritius, weekend brunch spots have been popping up around the island. To help you out, here is our pick of the best places to enjoy brunch in Mauritius.
