Biscuit baking at Biscuiterie Rault museum in Mauritius

Since 1870

The Seneque family produces unique manioc (cassava) biscuits since 1870. The H. Rault biscuit factory, situated in Mahébourg, in the South-East of Mauritius, is now run by the 4th generation of this family. The making and baking is still very traditional and that's the beauty of it, but they have kept developing new (natural) flavours and variants. The factory is now open to visitors, and this is the reason why it is recommended by us.

The manioc biscuits are sold solely in Mauritius in almost all the shops but the best way to discover these delicatessen is by paying a visit to the factory and taste them on the spot with a nice cup of tea or coffee.

Guided tour
It is thus possible to pop in during working hours and ask for a visit and tasting. The setting takes you in another century and the 500 m track to get there through the village of "Ville Noire" is already a dive into the heart of Mauritian reality.

The very welcoming family will show and explain their unique hydraulic pump which works solely on water pressure. One can also taste the fresh water from the well that supplies drinking water to the estate since ages.

A table d’hôte is offered for groups of 10 to 60 persons with a Creole menu including the tasty but little known "Manioc Kat-Kat". (Bookings in advance please.)

Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 9.30 a.m to 3.00 p.m. except on public holidays.
