Central Market

A Myriad of Colourful Stalls

Welcome to the hottest and liveliest place in Port Louis known to the locals as Bazaar Port Louis. Located in the capital city, you can get to the large Central Market from the Place d’Armes or through the Caudan Waterfront subway. This is where the local Mauritians shops and you will find a myriad of colourful stalls.
Taste a delicious palette of Mauritian street food of the famous dhal puri (local roti made of dhal), the Gateaux Piment (Spicy Lentil Balls) and the popular local drink of Alouda (a sweet and coloured drink made from milk, syrup, and some lemon juice). Some of the foods can be quite spicy so ask the vendors if you don’t want chilli sauce added. Don’t forget to savour the fresh tropical fruits and vegetables.
The market also has a “tourist” section where you’ll find local crafts, souvenirs and clothes. On the first floor of the market, you will find traditional spices, sugars and postcards which you can send to loved ones.
