In the 18th century, the French arrived in Mauritius and brought with them their culinary expertise and refined tastes. They introduced new ingredients and techniques, such as the use of butter, flour, and wine, further enriching the Mauritian culinary repertoire. The French influence is particularly evident in Mauritian pastries and desserts, such as croissants, macarons, and crème brûlée.

The 19th century saw the arrival of Indian indentured laborers, who brought their own culinary traditions and spices. Indian cuisine had a profound impact on Mauritian cooking, introducing a wide range of spices, herbs, and cooking techniques. Vindaye, a Mauritian curry dish, is a testament to the Indian influence on the island's cuisine.

Mauritius gained independence in 1968, and its cuisine continued to evolve, reflecting the island's newfound identity and cultural pride. Mauritian chefs began to experiment with new flavors and ingredients, creating innovative dishes that celebrated the island's rich culinary heritage.
