If exploring the local restaurant scene features heavily on your holiday itinerary, here’s something to put in your back pocket: The Culture Trip online magazine have put together an excellent feature on where to find the best Creole cuisine in Mauritius, including tips on what each restaurant specialises in and the best dishes to sample.

We’re salivating at the thought of the tajine-style lamb with cardamom-flavoured breadfuit at Le Fangourin in Pamplemousses, zesty chilli cakes at the Deer Hunter restaurant at Constance Belle Mare Plage, or the fresh lobster and langoustine at Chez Tino.

Take a look at the full list over at theculturetrip.com.
