La Vieille Rouge
About
La Vieille Rouge is a local business in Mauritius. The restaurant occupies a spot on Rue du Hangard in Mahebourg, on the island's south-east side, and it is easy to reach from the towns and resorts that ring Mauritius, including Port Louis, Grand Baie and Belle Mare.
Diners have given La Vieille Rouge a 4.2 out of 5 average across 463 reviews, a tally that places it among the better-reviewed places to eat on the island. Five photographs accompany the entry, giving a view of the premises ahead of a visit. The kitchen operates as a restaurant rather than a takeaway counter, and Mahebourg itself sits close to the water on the south-east coast, within reach of Flic en Flac and Le Morne on the opposite side of the island.
Creole cooking uses rice, seafood, tomato rougaille and hot chilli paste, and the restaurant serves meals in that local tradition. Mauritian Creole is the most widely spoken language, though French and English are also used in daily life.
Mauritius has a tropical maritime climate, warm all year and cooled by the southeast trade winds, so an evening meal outdoors is comfortable for much of the year. The island was a Dutch, then French, then British colony, and became independent in 1968, a history that shows in the street names and architecture of old coastal towns such as Mahebourg. Rodrigues is part of the same republic, and its own related Creole is spoken there.
