About this activity

This unique experience isn’t just about cooking a meal; it’s a holistic adventure. Join us as we explore the bustling Farmers Market of Flacq, the biggest market in Mauritius.

Taste our top local street food for breakfast, stroll through the market lanes, and let Jaya introduce you to our local vegetables and spices. Join us in selecting the catch of the day from our local fishmonger for an authentic Fish Curry.

Back at our home, we continue the adventure with a cooking class experience hosted by the culinary chef, Jaya. Her passion for cooking is a tribute to her heritage, having learned the art from her mother and grandmother. Her expertise lies in the intricate dance of spices, creating an authentic tapestry of Mauritian flavors.

We come together to savor the fruits of our labor in a delightful three-course local dinner, complemented by unlimited local rum punch and cocktails.

Yet, it’s more than just a feast—it’s about sharing stories. Engage in lively conversations with Jaya & Avi, immersing yourself in the customs that shape daily life.

We eagerly anticipate your arrival in Mauritius—where each bite tells a story and every sip is a toast to genuine hospitality!”

Best thing that could’ve happened to me

This experience was simply amazing. Java and Aby are beautiful people - inside and out. But they’re not only kind, they are also as local as it can get. Both know a lot about the island. It was almost an educational session - historically and culturally - while at the same time I learned a lot about the food and cooking there. The food tasted delicious. Everything was made and served with love. I would 100% recommend this to anybody visiting the island. Thank you both for an amazing day :) PS: Don’t have anything planned afterwards. If you get along you might just end up spending the day together!

Fabulous market tour and cooking class

This was a fabulous day, we met Jaya, Avi and Jaya's parents at their house and talked a little about Mauritius and Mauritian food then Avi drove us to the market with Jaya for a brilliant tour. First we were given gateaux piments and taken to a local fishmonger to choose a fish. At the market we had fresh roti and dal puri with a local milk shake then a extensive tour around the vegetable market where Jaya explained all the different vegetables, herbs and spices, it was a very hands on experience smelling the herbs and spices and understanding what to do with all the different vegetables. When everything was bought for lunch we were given a large coconut so we could taste fresh coconut water. Avi was very knowledgeable about all things Mauritian and very passionate about his country and taking people to see the real Mauritius. When we arrived back at their house a feast was prepared by Jaya and and her mum which we participated in whenever we wanted to. The end result was the best masala fish curry we have ever tasted. A genuine Mauritian experience which I would encourage everyone to do at least once!
