Retail & FoodService
Founded by me..
...Elisabeth Brown. I have been so fortunate to be brought up in a mixed family. My father is Sicilian and my mother is Mauritian and I have lived in London, Rome and Mauritius over the years. The best years were living my teens by the sea but yet I’m a true Londoner! With that I speak 4 languages and learnt about so many types of food that I’m so happy to share them all with you!
Mauritian food is a deep mix of African, French, Chinese and Indian food and you just get this absolute delight of a menu that is not found anywhere else in the world! On the streets you’ll find rotis, snacks and huge containers of Biryani cooking with gorgeous smells wafting through the warm air, as well as fried noodles and dumplings being sold for people to take home for dinner. Its amazing! We are so diverse that as an example we cook our prawns marinated in spices and then flashed fried and tossed into a creamy tomato sauce making it absolutely delicious -you must absolutely see it! My children are Jamaican and with the impact of those warm sweet & spicy notes infused into the mix on the menu - I can just say we’ve created something really special and Tropical at Coco Labelle!
I am so excited to showcase my brand that I’ve developed from all this knowledge and inspiration. It’s going down a storm in the public sector- its refreshing menus and canteens and customers are feeling truly represented and delighted!
