Restaurants in Seychelles

  1. La Goulue

    This little eatery doesn't have beach frontage but the terrace catches some breeze and the menu should please most palates. It features Creole staples with a French twist, such as steak au poivre crème cognac (steak with pepper in cognac cream sauce), and various filling snacks.

  2. Coco Rouge

    Everyone loves an insider's tip, and Coco Rouge is that easy-to-miss 'secret spot' that locals like to recommend. Run by Tony, a teacher, it serves up a sensational-value set menu at dinner, with the best smoked fish salad (mixed with avocado and veggies) we've had in the Seychelles. The poisson à la créole (Creole-style fish), the Chinese noodles and the salad were delectable too. The setting is refreshingly simple, with sturdy takamaka tables. We'll be back - see you there.

  3. 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 moules à la seychelloise (Seychellois-style mussels) to the catch of the day, this is a simple seafood delight. Your choice of critter will have a huge influence on the fiscal outlay. For grilled lobster or cigale de mer (squill fish), you'll be looking at Rs 350.

  4. 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, candlelit tables, silver cutlery, chandeliers and a wide-ranging menu featuring Creole classics. Unfortunately we found the food only average and the service utterly amateurish. Give it a second chance, perhaps. Free pick-up.

    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 others. The ambience is so chilled, you could kick your feet up on the chair and pull out a novel and no one would bat an eyelid. Or you could discuss the hardships of island life with Marston, the blue-eyed owner, who is a local character.

    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 tourist's life is hard, isn't it?

  7. Gelateria de Luca

    Praslin's prime ice-cream parlour will leave you a drooling mess. Order a coppa tropicale (Rs 40), and you'll see why. It also whips up pasta dishes and various snacks, and the vitamin-packed passionfruit juice is killer. Two minuses: the décor is unimaginative 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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, but the octopus curry and the tuna steak go down a treat. Steer clear of the tuna salad (Rs 75), made of canned tuna.

    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).

  14. 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.

  16. 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.

    Bakery

    There's also a small Bakery near the pier where you can gnaw your way to carbo bliss with fresh bread and cakes.
