With more than 100,000 visitors a year, L’Aventure du Sucre ranks among the unmissable attractions on the island.

Le Fangourin restaurant
After visiting the museum, you are warmly invited to continue your immersion in Mauritian gastronomy with lunch or refreshments at Le Fangourin. The restaurant and tearoom – named for the first juice pressed from the sugar cane – offers an enchanting and peaceful tropical setting, with a breathtaking view of the Pieter Both mountains. The kitchen team offers a healthy, flavourful menu, inspired by fresh Mauritian products and the classics of Creole and French cuisine.
Under its veranda, taste delicately flavoured preparations. A delicious interlude crowned by a sophisticated selection of home-made desserts which use whole cane sugars as a base: the fabulous dark chocolate fondant with molasses sugar, and the delicious crème brûlée enlivened with fresh vanilla pod.
The dishes, as beautiful to look at as they are to eat, can boast of being prepared 100% on-site. The emphasis is on local ingredients, some of which come directly from the site’s organic vegetable garden: papaya, lettuce, rocket, leek, saffron, ginger, lemongrass, ayapana, pink berries, mint, chives, basil, and other herbs. Visitors are also encouraged to try the flavourful vegetarian dishes made from unusual local vegetables such as jackfruit, also known as vegan meat. A family address, with children’s menus at very reasonable prices.
Quench your thirst with one of Le Fangourin’s signature drinks – iced lemongrass from the garden, perhaps, or a cocktail made with tropical fruit and 5-star rums.
