    Typical street market with some tented/indoor vendors and fully indoor stores. Most vendors are pushy and do not let you browse without shoving stuff in your face trying to get you to buy things you don’t want. Lots of poorly made imported counterfeit items and harassing sellers. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here however there are some stores that had authentic Mauritius spices and locally made products with vendors who were very polite, friendly and helpful without being too pushy. There is one beautiful boutique though called Blanc De Toi that has nice stuff , everything is white which I thought was really cool. It’s not in the market but a standalone store before turning the corner. The sales associates are normal and don’t try to sell you anything. I would recommend checking this place out.

    As someone who has visited Mauritius many times , its better to support the Bazar than overpriced Street guys and hawkers . Its not an air conditioned mall its a market and goods are fine as gifts .etc Best stall for Trainers ,sun glasses,jewellery, bags is just before the main entrance and the Buddha on the right side . Run by Anoushka so helpful and patient, we tried on several trainers etc and then bought quite a few bits . She is a kind natured lady not like some of the stall holders . Do support if you don't want to pay the ridiculous hotel gift shop price for the same goods . Thanks Anoushka all the best.

    Ok but lots of the same things as every other market. Ensure you haggle down.

    A tourist trap through and through. The same goods are available at most grocery stores at a fraction of the price. Please do everything in your power to stay away. It is an unpleasant experience, guaranteed to ruin your day out. Constant harassment and vendors who, almost without exception, have a self entitled attitude if you do not purchase their goods

    Its ok. It seems the prices here are expensive. You can buy cheaper ones at the stores right outside the grand bazaar or the small stores that are on the way to here

    Worth going to have look for a couple of touristic souvenirs. But any price you get, negotiate till half that price.

    It's a touristic Bazar, it has a great reputation. Most of the tourists come in the north of the island , they must visit the Bazar., not too much expensive and its nice. But be careful SOME of the merchants are burglars on prices as well as articles.

    Even though you could find the odd bargain, it's pretty much a tourist trap and very overpriced! Some stall owners are friendly,but some are pushy and try to charge you triple the price if not more! Some of the little shops in the street leading up to here are much better. Wouldn't return here. Much prefer going to a local market.

    Well, what can I say, lots of copy-paste small shops. Worth visiting if you are looking for cheap clothes,bags etc.

  • 5/5 Leena R. 1 year ago on Google • 264 reviews
    Great market. Lots of souvenirs, clothes and bags. Limited parking.

  • 5/5 Philippa F. 5 months ago on Google • 89 reviews
    Great experience...lots of lovely items. Be prepared to be hot, crowded and oestered by vendors!

  • 5/5 Mihai 5 years ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Perfect place for souvenirs - don't miss it! 300m from the main road, the bazaar is in a large courtyard. You can find plenty of nice and region-specific clothing, and of course loads of souvenirs. All prices are negotiable so you should never pay the first price given. All merchandise is twice as cheap as on the high street. It has narrow corridors and is hot inside but it's worth it!

    This place has many shops particularly focused on fashion products. You can find many first copy clothes of reputed brands. Shirts, shorts, shoes, caps, souvenirs etc. You can bargain with them to secure the best deal for yourself.

  • 4/5 Tracy-Lee S. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice little market. Definitely worth a visit. You can bargain these vendors down to half of the price.

  • 1/5 Elena R. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Boring. Just tourist stuff, high prices for cheap quality. Not worth it

  • 5/5 Tony H. 2 years ago on Google
    Vibrant and fun. All stall holders enthusiastic and helpful. Bought several items. One shirt had a small seam fault. Exchanged the next day with no problems.

  • 3/5 Marie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice we like to walk there and buy gifts for friends

  • 4/5 Estelle E. 2 years ago on Google
    A great bazaar. Very neat and clean. Sad to see the impact Covid had on this bazaar as quite a few shows closed down. Hope the bazaar will be back to normal soon.

  • 2/5 Simona U. 2 years ago on Google
    If anyone likes a place where to find all of the same touristic stuff, then this is it. Be aware that everyone tries to talk to you and sell you stuff.

  • 4/5 Alain C. 1 year ago on Google
    Tourist like to shop there. I recommend a visit

  • 3/5 june b. 5 years ago on Google
    A large variety of beachwear and informal clothing. Very keen sales assistants. A integral part of the Island experience.

  • 5/5 kingsley C. 4 years ago on Google
    You get everything you need. You are always surrounded with wonderful people.

  • 5/5 Thiru M. 4 years ago on Google
    Also a great attraction only as a tourist they raise the prices.... So you have to negotiate at least start from half the price offered

  • 3/5 TERENCE J S. 5 years ago on Google
    Mainly for tourists. Live animals at back.

  • 4/5 Sharon C. 4 years ago on Google

👍 Has a variety of restaurants, take aways and shops to spend some time that’s anchored by Super U. Enough to spend a considerable amount of time there. Can get busy at the end of the month and weekends.
