Empire Shop

4.7(6 reviews)

About

Empire Shop, on Mauritius, occupies Royal Road, Cnr Remono Street, Curepipe, in the island's central highlands. First-time visitors should expect a setting shaped by that inland town rather than by the coastal resort strip.

Guests have given Empire Shop a 4.7 out of 5 average across 6 reviews, a record that reflects steady satisfaction among its clientele. The venue operates as an antiques business, and its identity is tied to Curepipe, which sits within the island's road network and links it to the wider region.

Reaching the venue from the main resorts is straightforward, since Port Louis, Grand Baie, Flic en Flac, Pereybère, Beau-Vallon, Le Morne, Belle Mare and Mahébourg all connect to Curepipe by road. The location places it in the central highlands rather than on the coast.

Mauritian Creole is the most widely spoken language, and Rodrigues has its own related Creole. Creole cooking on both islands uses rice, seafood, tomato rougaille and hot chilli paste. Sega music and dance, led by the ravanne drum, are traditional on both Mauritius and Rodrigues.
