Mauritian Night Perth: Two Nights, One Big Feast at Bivouac

It started with a message from our chef.

"Only 7 days left. We are now in Mauritian Night Emergency Mode. Mission 007: fill the room."

Since then, the spices have arrived, the kitchen smells amazing, and the menu is ready.

Here is your official briefing.

Quick Answer: What Is Mauritian Night Perth?

Mauritian Night Perth is a special dinner event at Bivouac on Wednesday 14 October and Thursday 15 October 2026. It is a four-course shared feast inspired by the island of Mauritius, where Creole, Indian, Chinese and French food come together. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and seats are limited.

Where Is Mauritius, and Why Is Its Food So Good?

Mauritius is a small island in the Indian Ocean, east of Africa. It is known for blue water and white beaches, but the real treasure is the food.

For hundreds of years, people from India, Africa, China and France have made this island their home. Each group brought its own recipes. Today, they all share one table. One meal can have a slow-cooked curry, a fresh chutney, a soft flatbread and a crunchy fritter, and every bite works together.

That is the food we are bringing to Perth.

What Is on the Menu?

This is a shared feast, so plates go in the middle of the table and everyone tries everything. Here is what our chef is cooking.

Starters and Small Plates

How to Eat Like a Local

You do not need any special skills. Just follow these tips:

1. Share everything. Put the plates in the middle and pass them around.

3. Start small with chilli. You can always add more heat.

4. Ask our team. If you are unsure about a dish, just ask.
