Lapes
(LAH-PESS) Whether for subsistence, leisure or sport, fishing (lapes) is quite naturally a favourite activity on an island like Mauritius.

Pirog
(PEE-ROG) Along the way, you may pass a few locals in their pirog, which are small traditional fishing boats, often with colourful sails.
Dal-pouri
(DAL-POO-REE) While walking along the streets of Port Louis, you are sure to come across some street vendors selling dal-pouri, an Indian inspired pancake-style flatbread traditionally served with vegetarian curry and sauce, chutney and pickles.
