Garden tour and lunch At Jardin des cinq senses.

Spent a couple hours at this beautiful garden in Rodrigues. The tour of the garden cost 250 Mauritian rupees per person. The local guide shows you around the garden and explains the properties of the different plant species. You get to learn about the Medicinal benefits of each and how to use each plant. For lunch, we pre ordered by calling in the morning. We had octopus salad, 'du riz maille' which is translated to maize rice, rougaille saucisse and red bean. This is traditional Rodriguaise food. Was so yummy! We were served local pickles as well. On top of it all, there is a gorgeous view of the ocean from the garden parking. It is worth a visit, especially for lunch. #rodrigues #jardindescinqsenses #island #islandlife #islandtravel #localfood #octopus #octopussalad #rougaille #placestovisitrodrigues
