Four Fine-Dining Venues for Epicureans in Mahé, Seychelles

Sometimes, food and travel get so interconnected that it becomes sort of impossible to enjoy one and not the other. In fact, in certain destinations, travelling for food is an inherent part of the experience. So if the food is not enjoyable, half the experience is missing. One such destination is Mahé, Seychelles. Here are a few top-notch places in Mahé where you can savour sumptuous food and make the most of your trip.

Banana Leaf

This in-house restaurant of the Bliss Hotel is a perfect amalgam of style and ease. The Banana Leaf restaurant is set up in a delightful manner and serves mouth-watering preparations. The menu is concise and includes fresh fish, burgers and salads. A romantic candlelight dinner by the sea will certainly get you in the mood.

Boat House  

Perfectly located a short walk away from Beau Vallon–Seychelles’ most popular beach, the Boat House is one of the best restaurants in Mahé to enjoy Seychelles’ traditional food buffet. The buffet includes about 20 different dishes, including Creole curries, salads and barbecued fish (usually tuna, and if you’re lucky, red snapper). The cool breeze from the marina will make your dining experience all the more better.

Sam’s Pizzeria

The Sundown Restaurant, associated with the Sunset Hotel in the beachside town of Port Glaud, offers picturesque views of the Isle of Lisette which looks like a tiny green mass floating in the water. The restaurant serves some of the tastiest seafood, grilled and barbecued to perfection. You can choose from a wide range of tuna, shark, rabbit fish, mullet, parrot fish, and surprisingly affordable lobsters.

The Pirate Arms

The Pirate Arms, despite its faded interiors is said to be a famous meeting point in Victoria. The menu at this place is immensely vast and includes salads, sandwiches, pizzas and fish preparations. The restaurant serves deliciously prepared elaborate delicacies like Thai chicken as well. In the night, the Pirate Arm turns into a full service cocktail lounge and nightspot like none other in Mahé.
