Practical information : Take a break Mauritius
Timetable
The more touristy the area, the more flexible the hours. In general, especially at the height of the season, cafés and bars are open continuously from 8:00 am to 9:00 am. In hotels, the same thing happens, they are open all day, with a peak in traffic at snack time or sunset. In the malls, which are living spaces in their own right, the opening hours follow those of the shopping center.
Budget & Tips
Happy Hours are frequent at the end of the day from 5pm/6pm to 7pm/20pm.
Age restrictions
As in France, you have to be of age to have the right to consume alcohol in a bar.
What's very local
A small beer on the beach at sunset, if possible local (Phoenix, Blue Marlin, Thirsty Fox, Flying Dodo...) and accompanied by gajaks - small salty snacks that you can only eat. Or a glass of wine, preferably with lychee, since the Mauritian production of Takamaka Winery is more than honorable! Or a cocktail, at the hotel, on a deckchair, while the sky and the sun combine to ensure the show, and the lagoon is as calm as a lake.
Kids
Apart from the discos and hotels reserved for adults, children are welcome everywhere.
Smokers
Smoking is not allowed in enclosed areas or on covered terraces. In the open air, however, no problem.
