The Rum Shed

The Rum Shed in Grand Baie is the most celebrated drinking destination in the north of Mauritius, with a collection of over 200 rums drawn primarily from Mauritius, Reunion, Madagascar, and the broader Indian Ocean. The knowledgeable staff can guide visitors through tasting flights comparing the island's major distilleries — Chamarel, Rhumerie de Chamarel, St Aubin, and Pink Pigeon. The terrace opens onto Grand Baie's main street and fills up by 6pm most evenings. Happy hour runs from 5 to 7pm with two-for-one classic cocktails.
