2 Best Restaurants in Seychelles

Serving classically simple Italian fare in a beautiful white house atop granite rocks, this is one of Mahé's oldest and beloved restaurants. The Italian chef-owner is also a fisherman, and in season, his catch of the day is the freshest you'll find. Pastas are largely homemade, and dishes like the tagliatelle with smoked sailfish or ravioli with fish are recommended. Front of the house is managed by the chef's wife, a charming lady who runs a tight ship. With sea breezes wafting through from the tranquil Bel Ombre, the mood is romantic and old world, making this a place to linger.

A wonderful new addition to La Digue's dining options, this friendly Italian restaurant on Anse Reunion serves excellent food in a tranquil garden setting. Wood-fired pizzas will hit the spot, as do the delicious pastas and risottos. Fish lovers are in for a treat, as the chef makes a point of using local fish and octopus, and the fish of the day with lime and cointreau or panfried with white wine and capers are recommended. Dinner guests should come early and enjoy a sunset looking out to neighboring Praslin island.
