Navigating island life with food allergies isn’t always easy, so when you find a place that truly accommodates your dietary needs, it feels like striking gold. Speaking of gold, I recently discovered a new café here in Mauritius where the menu is every bit as special and welcoming as the hospitality.

Mauritius is historically recognized for its vanilla and cutting-edge cultivation process that’s replicated throughout the Mascerene Islands.

Vanilla is one of my favorite spices, and I was excited to explore the organic and locally grown options here on the Ile of Maurice.

There are loads of delicious and flavorful food selections that can satisfy any hungry palate in Mauritius.

December is on the horizon and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in D.C. Today, I decided to make my way to the Downtown Holiday Market to keep with the holiday cheer and check out some winter themed festivities.
