the problem with expats, is that they tend to think local, and exotic, thus looking for places different from that of their country, which is quite normal, but mauritius is not ONLY about exotic, wild nature, beaches, if you integrate correctly in the society, you will see it is much much more, culture wise, N.b, lived in France for ten years and then came back to homecounty

Thanks for commenting, but to my knowledge, noodles (min frite and min bouille) and rice dishes (like bol renverser) are very much Mauritian. They exist in most food stalls and restaurants. Chinese type dishes and curries are also very much loved here, and that’s what makes Mauritius so wonderful - the mix of African, Asian, Indian and European influences combining into incredible food experiences.
