La Goulue
This little eatery doesn't have beach frontage but the terrace catches some breeze. The menu features Creole staples and various filling snacks.

Coco Rouge
Coco Rouge is that easy-to-miss 'secret spot' that locals like to recommend. Run by Tony, a former English teacher, it serves up a good-value set menu at dinner, consisting of about six grandma-style Creole dishes prepared from fresh simple ingredients. The setting is refreshingly simple, with sturdy takamaka tables. It also has a takeaway counter.

Bonbon Plume
Is it a tourist trap or a seafood mecca? Both, perhaps. With such a location – the palm-thatched canopy is right on the beach – tables are unsurprisingly in high demand. Anything from grilled crab in coconut sauce to the catch of the day, this is a simple seafood delight. For grilled lobster or cigale de mer (squill fish), you'll be looking at Rs 750.

Tante Mimi
Tante Mimi is a real heartbreaker. At the casino in Anse Volbert, you couldn't ask for a more atmospheric setting – think a lovely old colonial house, creaky parquet flooring, Creole furnishings throughout, silver cutlery, chandeliers and a wide-ranging menu featuring Creole classics. Unfortunately the food is hit-and-miss and the service utterly amateurish.

Chez Marston
This institution serves some of the best food on the island. The wide-ranging menu features salads, sandwiches, prawns, fish or crab curries, pizzas and burgers, among other dishes.

Lanbousir
This sand-floored eatery run by three affable ladies is an ideal spot for a filling lunch after (or before) working your tan at nearby Anse Source d'Argent. Start things off with smoked fish salad, move on to a meltingly tender job fillet, then finish off with a rich banana pancake. Wash it all down with a lemon juice or a chilled coconut. A traveller's life is hard, isn't it?

Gelateria de Luca
Praslin's prime ice-cream parlour will leave you a drooling mess. Order a coppa tropicale (Rs 150), and you'll see why. It also whips up pasta dishes, pizzas and various snacks, and the vitamin-packed passionfruit juice is killer. Two minuses: the decor is as sexy as a parking lot and there's no view.

Loutier Coco
Feel the sand in your toes at this oasis of a place on Grand Anse beach, but be prepared to share the experience with a raft of day-trippers here to enjoy the lavish buffet at lunchtime. The spread on offer includes grilled fish, traditional Creole curries and salads, fruit and coffee.

Café Oganibar
Under new management, the Oganibar is big in ambitions, with such concoctions as fish fillet baked in banana leaves, braised chicken with honey, and grilled prawns with garlic butter. There's a Creole buffet on Thursday evening and a Chinese buffet on Saturday evening.

Le Chevalier
Can't get a table at Bonbon Plume? Don't despair. Here's an acceptable plan B. OK, it's not right on the beach and the setting is frustratingly bland (think a vast, tiled, open-air room on the ground floor of a modern villa), but the menu offers more variety than at Bonbon Plume. Prices are as high, though (burgers cost a whopping Rs 215).

Le Pécheur
Candles, French wines and a table on a palm-ruffled beach are all you need for a romantic night out with your significant other at this attractive restaurant at La Digue Island Lodge. Diners are serenaded by a local guitarist three times a week.

Snack Bellevue
It's a hell of a hike or ride to get to this eagle's eyrie, but you'll be amply rewarded with cardiac-arresting views from the terrace. It serves up the usual suspects at very reasonable prices (not a mean feat, given the location).

Sunset Café
Lobster for less than Rs 250? Yes, it's possible. This small, pleasantly informal number is worth visiting for the good, cheap and wholesome food created from quality ingredients. It has a few outdoor tables.

Tarosa
This is La Digue's social hub, on the jetty. There's a little of everything for everyone, from satisfying breakfasts to sandwiches and smoked fish salad. It features a live band on Friday evening.

Espadon Restaurant
This tiny, typically Creole joint is a great place for a cheap and fast meal at lunchtime, or for a fixed menu come the evening. The naive fresco sporting colourful fish is amusing.

Zerof
Only your mum could fix a more comforting meal than you'll find at this cosy spot in a garden setting. The menu is a bargain, and the smoked fish salad truly palate-pleasing.

Sundown Restaurant
Well-prepared local seafood and a laid-back atmosphere make this a heart stealer. Light years away from the glitz usually associated with the Seychelles, it can't get more mellow than this.

Sam's Pizzeria
Step into this cool spot for an escape from the busy street. Walls are adorned with paintings by local artist George Camille, which gives the place a splash of style. Get things going with pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven, salads, pasta or grilled fish and meat. Takeaway is available.

Restaurant du Marché
The food is fresh and tasty at this appealing eatery within the market (upstairs). It's a good place to catch local vibes and enjoy plenty of local colour.

Pirates Arms
Legendary to the point where it has become the meeting point in Victoria, this central cafe-restaurant veritably thrums the minute it opens its doors for breakfast (served until 11am). The menu is as long as your arm and runs from salads and sandwiches to pizzas and meat or fish dishes, all well prepared and well priced.

Opera
Across the road from the beach, this lively eatery is high on atmosphere, with well-designed wooden tables and chairs. Alas, no views to speak of. How about the food? Spaghetti Creole-style, grilled beef tenderloin, and grilled tuna steak are examples of the tasty dishes on offer.
