Rhumerie De Chamarel Rum Distillery

Wow! Amazing place! The palm and cane trees around, the beautifully designed pool and the operating machines…. Most importantly, this 450rs gets you into the tour (the tour itself wasn’t the best explanation of the process in my opinion, quite interrupted by the loud noisy of machinery) and the portions they offer you at the end of the tour would def get you tipsy!!! Good value!

Both the restaurant and the tour/tasting are excellent and I highly recommend visiting. The tour was fairly short but it was informative and the guide seemed to know the entire process in great depth. The tasting was good and included the entire basic range of rums they produce. The premium range was also available to taste at the end of the tour for an extra fee. The restaurant is stunning both for the exquisite building and the tasty food. We had the braised pork and the chicken and prawn curry. We both agreed it was some of the best food we've had so far in Mauritius. Booking is absolutely essential for the restaurant.

When in Mauritius, you should definitely visit Rhumerie de Chamarel, where you can take tour and see from first hand how is rum made here! You can also taste 10 different types of rum as a part of the visit. This place has also amazing restaurant, so it completes all checkpoints for a fulfilled trip. Ticket costs around 300mur for the tour, no reservations needed upfront.

We had a wonderful culinary experience at this restaurant. I think it was the best food we had during our 2 week trip to Mauritius. The vanilla foie gras and the lamb shank were absolutely delicious and worth the wait. The staff is super busy, but always smiling and eager to help. I also recommend the Ti Punch,which is the house's specialty (and usually included in the menu). Also the place looks great and has a wonderful view of the mountain.

Gives a good look into the making of the rum. Be prepared to be tipsy after the tasting, you taste 7 different items. Well worth a visit if you can.
