Port Louis: a walk through history and food

Port-Louis · Port Louis

AI-generated image

The walk follows two threads at once: the history of Port Louis and what is eaten there. History surfaces everywhere in the capital, from Aapravasi Ghat, where more than 462,000 indentured labourers came ashore, to the Citadel raised by the British. The cooking carries the same legacies: Indian, Chinese, African, European.
