Furniture by advocat333
Hi All, Any good furniture shop recommendations? Looking for stylish beds, nice sofas, coffee tables etc. I'd also be interested in meeting furniture makers who come recommended, if anyone knows any. I tried finding a place called lovely home ...
Hi, I can recommend a local carpenter (Patrick on 7610963). Shops are a little hit and miss although Yumi stock some quality teak furniture but best to wait for their end of year sale if you can. Cheers Read More
Bringing your dogs back home by JJK
Greetings all, If anyone would like to have information on how to bring your local dogs with you when you leave Mauritius, please feel free to send us an e-mail off-line. We recently went through this process with our two dogs (including ...
Good idea Rosiewestie! Our final destination was Singapore - which was predictably strict with regards to the importation of animals from the African region. We needed to have our pets chipped and given an anti-rabies vaccine which was then ... Read More
Japanese / Korean items / Restaurant in Mauritius by Estherkw
Hello all, I am new to Mauritius. Can I know whether there is any shop selling Japanese / Korean product (i.e. noodle, items for sushi, KimChi & Green Tea etc)? Is there any Japanese / Korean restaurant in Mauritius too? Thank you very much. :)
Hi, t There is a Daiso in Bagatelle Shopping Centre (for Japanese products) and China Town in Port Louis also stocks some items. As for food, no good Japanese restaurants I'm afraid other than the (very) pricey hotel options. Food Lovers (again ... Read More

Life does get lonely sometimes by GeorgeGordon
Hi all, my name is George Gordon. I moved to Mauritius 2 months ago, and live in Flic-en-Flac. My wife and son is still in Cape Town, and will only join me in 2 years time....will come over on holidays though. Would like to make some friends, go for ...
Hi Gordon, I'd echo Genevieve's thoughts above re gyms and add that having only recently moved to Tamarin, we've found that the Riverland Sports centre is a great place to find your feet. It's about 10 minutes drive from F-e-F and they have plenty ... Read More

Thanks again for your efforts here Alex. As for a group class though, timings might be difficult for us so I wouldn't want to commit and then let class-mates down. Was thinking more of private ad-hoc lessons. And I agree with you Musheer, 200-400 ... Read More
