The views aren’t the only thing that’s tempting. Flavoured by abundant seas, verdant forests, and a rich cultural heritage, dining in the Seychelles is an experience that’s not to be missed. From spiced Creole recipes to seafood on a luxurious platter, here are the best places to visit for a taste of Seychellois magic.

Maison Marengo

This restaurant-event space hybrid celebrates Creole cuisine like no other. Located by the vanilla-hued shores of Au Cap, Maison Marengo pays tribute to the islands’ flavours through delicious farm-to-table dishes and a gorgeous heritage setting. Don’t miss the venue’s unique tamarind margaritas and live music performances.

Anchor Cafe

Cosy, laid-back, and family-friendly, the Anchor Cafe has long been an institution by the Anse La Mouche Bay. While far from the luxuries of Seychelles’ five star hotels, this humble joint has been serving residents for decades, having perfected the art of soft serves and blackened fish. It’s as authentic as it gets.

Bounty Restaurant

Found within JA Enchanted Island Resort Seychelles, the Bounty Restaurant offers private dining and a setting steeped in luxury. Overlooking the jewel-toned waters of the Indian Ocean, a table at Bounty guarantees a romantic evening of red wine and fine dining.
