The 19 Best Restaurants in Seychelles | Eater
"Set on Takamaka beach in southwest Mahé, Chez Batista makes for one of the island’s more rustic outdoor dining experiences with thatched roofing and sand-covered floors. While the restaurant does serve a la carte lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, come for the popular Creole buffet on Sundays between 1 and 3 p.m. when locals and tourists rub elbows over a crash course in Seychellois Creole cuisine. Expect a hodgepodge of curries (fish, bat, you name it), grilled fish and meats, chutneys (shark, papaya, salted fish), rougail saucisse (sausage in tomato sauce), and a few desserts such as la daube banane (banana or plantain cooked in spiced coconut milk). Come with an insatiable appetite because you’ll need it. Once you’ve had your fill, grab a SeyBrew, stumble down onto the breathtaking beach just below the deck, and lie down until it’s time to eat again." - Steven Rioux
