Chez Dana
About
Chez Dana, on Rodrigues, is a convenience store at 7FWX+82Q, Gravier, Mauritius, serving the island's day-to-day needs from a village on the road between Port Mathurin and the eastern coast. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward local shop rather than a tourist stop, one that keeps the basics within reach of the surrounding settlements.
Its standing among shoppers is reflected in a 4.2 out of 5 average drawn from 93 reviews, a score that suggests regular use by residents rather than passing trade. The store sits within easy reach of Port Mathurin, the island's main town and harbour, and of Baie aux Huîtres, Grand Baie, Saint-François, Graviers, Mangrove and Rivière Cocos along the coastal route. Île aux Cocos lies offshore, a short boat trip from the northern coast.
Gravier sits on the island's eastern side, and the coastal road makes the store a practical stop for anyone travelling between the main settlements. Shoppers pass through on their way to Port Mathurin and the villages strung along the coast, so the store fits into the everyday movement around Gravier.
Traffic drives on the left on Rodrigues, and buses connect the main villages, so reaching Gravier without a car is possible. Rodrigues is known for octopus, called ourite, served grilled or in salad, a dish worth trying while on the island. Sega music and dance, led by the ravanne drum, are traditional on both Mauritius and Rodrigues.
