You’re in Mauritius… and you’ve never tried Vona Corona ice cream?
Well, you absolutely must remedy that!
Vona Corona is more than just ice cream: it’s a true Mauritian institution, a taste of childhood and tradition that spans generations.
And the good news? There’s a stand at Bagatelle Mall, perfect for a sweet treat after a shopping spree!
A 100% Mauritian story
It all began in the 1920s, with a small artisan factory in Rose Hill.
Since then, Vona Corona has remained true to its origins: simple, generous, homemade ice cream full of local flavours.
Behind this brand is a family business that has preserved its expertise over time, while retaining the vintage and authentic touch that gives it its charm.
The result: ice cream with a unique taste, a world away from industrial ice cream!
Flavours like no other
What makes Vona Corona famous are its signature toppings:
- bright red pineapple jelly, sweet and slightly tart
- pink candy-coloured grated coconut, both crunchy and melt-in-the-mouth
These two essential ingredients pair perfectly with classic flavours such as vanilla, chocolate, pistachio, or almond.
Each bite is an explosion of textures: the coldness of the ice cream, the softness of the jelly, the crunchiness of the coconut… pure delight!
A simple and affordable treat
At a time when everything seems to be getting more expensive, Vona Corona remains affordable for everyone:
Between RS 50 and RS 75 for a generously served ice cream.
A real treat for young and old alike, to be enjoyed without moderation.
That’s what we love about Mauritius: these simple, authentic pleasures shared with the family.
Where can you enjoy a Vona Corona ice cream?
Historically, Vona Corona ice creams were mainly sold on the streets of Rose Hill or at fairs and events.
But today, you can also find them at the Bagatelle Mall stand, right in the heart of the shopping centre.
It’s the perfect place to (re)discover this local legend, in a modern setting that retains the spirit of yesteryear.
