Restaurant Reviews

Recommended Restaurants in Praslin: 

     1.     Café des Arts
After taking the left lane from Berjaya’s Beach facing bungalows or walking left in the beach area, you’ll come across a nicely decorated restaurant Café’ des Arts. It has an entry from the beach side and has a very romantic aroma. The back side entry (from Berjaya’s lane) will take you to Restaurant’s sitting area directly and also to its boutique shop. They also offer Creole’ dishes but dishes here were having a lot of variety than the basic creolean’ dishes we had over the days. Try their grilled fish; you’ll definitely feel the difference. Owner is a very friendly and warm lady. Highly recommended for its tasty food and colorful and romantic ambience.

     2.     Les Lauriers
Come here for the expansive buffet and complete country atmosphere.  Their salads and meat offerings were quite lavish. And both meat and grilled fish were succulently cooked. I had such a great feast that I couldn’t try much of the dessert offerings. Initially the place looked a tad overpriced, but their meal and service made it worth every bit. Their buffet spread was 30 Euros/Person.

     3.     Gelateria de Luca

It’s a quiet little Ice-cream parlor just ahead in the lane to Berjaya resort. It also serves great Italian food. Try their mouth watering pizzas and savor on some sundaes. Their Ice-cream flavors have very distinctive taste and their tropical fruit sundae is very refreshing to taste. Suits your pocket, I think it’s a good restaurant on a budget.

     4.     Bon Bon Plume

If someone can win award for the perfect place to open a restaurant, its got to be Bon Bon Plume. After travelling to reach Anse Lazio and then swimming and draining out, all one asks for is a nice sip and decent food. What you get here is amazing variety of food and well prepared and presented. We tried their crab and lobster and also Mango refresher for drinks. You can pick up Seychelles traveller’s Maps from the billing counter. Its right on the beach and is at the entrance as soon as you arrive after parking your car.

Recommended Restaurants in Mahe:

    1.     La Scala

Service is what they sell here. Friendly owners, helping you out with selection of food and wines and fresh catch of wish waiting to be grilled on your choice. Some of the seats are overlooking the ocean from the window, and extremely courteous staff, ready to help you with everything. This is one of very few restaurants which do not take a service charge, but they definitely deserve some, because of their warmth and style of serving food. Their red snapper in garlic sauce with some tasty wine makes your day. They also have very nice pastas to delight your taste buds.

     2.     La Plaine St. Andre

The restaurant has a very posh setting, with vintage lamps and wooden tables and chair setting. The bar has some of the most exquisite drinks and wine glasses hanging like a perfect pub setting. The restaurant is a bit up market in its prices but their service was well worth it. Their drinks menu had maximum variety we found in Seychelles.

     3.     Pirates Arms

Pirate Arms is located right in the heart of the Victoria market, amazing place to interact with people and always buzzing with crowd. The waiters will always seem in a rush, with the amount of customers they have to cater to. Service is very quick, unlike most places and prices are very reasonable for both food and drinks. This place also has a Casino with running ticker of money at stakes for the interested folks.
