Foyer Indien — Indian, Port Louis
Foyer Indien is the finest Indian restaurant in Port Louis — a kitchen serving the North and South Indian cooking traditions that the Indo-Mauritian community, which constitutes approximately 67% of the island’s population, has been developing on the island since the first Indian workers arrived in 1834.
The cooking at Foyer Indien covers the full range of Indian regional cooking that the Indo-Mauritian community has absorbed and adapted: the North Indian gravies and tandoor preparations, the South Indian vegetarian dishes, and the specifically Mauritian-Indian fusion preparations that have developed over nearly two centuries of cooking on the island.
The drinks programme celebrates the Indian culinary tradition’s natural accompaniments: the fresh mango lassi, the chai, and the Mauritian rum cocktails that provide the island-specific dimension.
Foyer Indien is the restaurant for visitors to Mauritius who want to understand the Indian dimension of what is one of the world’s most complete multicultural culinary experiments.
