    What to order at an ice cream shop

    A scoop of coconut or litchi sorbet, vanilla made with local pods, a passion fruit granita when it is hot, and an alouda from the counters that still make it with basil seed and milk. Gelato counters in the malls also do affogato and milkshakes.

    Ice Cream & Gelato in Mauritius

    Ice cream in Mauritius comes in three shapes: the artisan glaciers making gelato and sorbet in small batches, the parlours in the shopping centres, and the kiosks on the coast that sell one cone at a time to people coming off the beach.

    The flavours to look for are the local ones — coconut, litchi, passion fruit, vanilla from the plantations, alouda-inspired basil seed and, at the older counters, faluda. Most shops open late afternoon into the evening, which is when the plateau towns fill up.
