    What to eat from a Mauritian street stall

    Dholl puri with cari gros pois, gateaux piments, samoussas, boulettes with broth, mine frite from a wok counter, pineapple with chilli salt from a beach vendor, and an alouda from the market. Bring cash and small notes; most stalls do not take cards.

    Street Food Restaurants in Mauritius

    Street food is where Mauritius eats. A dholl puri from a good stall costs less than a bus fare and is the single most representative thing you can eat here: two thin split-pea flatbreads wrapped around cari gros pois, rougaille and chilli chutney.

    The stalls run to a schedule rather than opening hours. Dholl puri and gateaux piments go in the morning and at the end of the school day; boulettes are a morning trade; the beach and market vans work weekends and holidays.
