Eating
While the centre of town is packed with eateries, the very best tend to be slightly outside
the heart of Grand Baie, particularly towards Pointe aux Canonniers and Pereybère. Street
vendors and vegetable stands can be found all along Royal Rd. They tend to congregate
near the public beaches.
Boulette Ti Kouloir

(Royal Rd; boulettes Rs 6.50; 11.30am-4pm & 5.45-9pm Mon-Sat, 11.30am-4pm Sun) Follow the low-slung
billboard for Paparazzi, pass the car park for the Sunset Boulevard shopping centre, then
turn right - around 50m further along on the right, next to La Rougaille Créole, this is one
of Grand Baie's best little snack joints. As the name suggests, this microscopic joint really
is just a ti couloir (li'l hallway) where a couple of women cook up savoury boulettes
(steamed balls, like mini Chinese dumplings) to unending lines of locals. Choose between
chicken, pork, fish, calamari and lamb. Fabulous place.

( 263 5286; Narainen St, Upper Vale, The Vale; mains Rs 75-150; 4-11pm Mon, 11am-11pm Tue-Sun) 'Do-
maine' is the answer every local offers when travellers ask where to go to savour some
Mauritian home cookin' while escaping the throngs of vacationers. So, naturally this in-
land haunt is starting to fill up with tourists. Go quick before someone else lets the cat out
of the bag or tells the owner that his prices are remarkably low! The best dishes are those
starred on the menu as local specialties - offerings such as ourite safrané (octopus cooked
in ginger, garlic and turmeric) or chilli lamb.
It can be hard to find and you'll need a private vehicle or taxi. Take the M2 towards
Port Louis, then turn left off the motorway at the first roundabout and follow the signs to
The Vale. Once in the village, look for the 'Snack Mustapha' sign where the main road
doglegs left - turn hard right and then take the second paved road on the left, around
250m down the hill.
