Canne à Sucre

Top choice in Flic en Flac


Now here's something special: an authentic slice of Mauritian life in the midst of touristy Flic en Flac. May has converted her roadside bar-restaurant into a cosy space that captures the essence of coastal Mauritius. She offers multicourse Creole dinner feasts – rice, chicken, octopus, Creole sausages and 'some vegetables you've never heard of' – with dessert and rum thrown in.

You'll need to order the day before you plan to visit, but don't let that put you off and don't miss it.
