The 19 Best Restaurants in Seychelles | Eater

"La Plaine St André is the spiritual home — as in the center of spirits drinking — of Seychelles. After tasting some Takamaka rums and popping into the distillery on the property where the rums are produced, stroll through the lush medicinal garden filled with vanilla, cinnamon, and an array of other useful tropical botanicals, before winding down with some modern Seychellois Creole bites at the resident food truck. Fish cakes — made with local job fish, potatoes, apples, and mangoes — are complete comfort food, while the crispy fish tacos with green papaya and chile pickle can spice up an afternoon. The specials are always worth entertaining, but if you see rougail saucisse (which has become a mainstay after rave reviews), it’s not a suggestion but a requirement; order two because few renditions of the classic sausages in Creole tomato gravy can rival that of chef Darren Roberts. Mix with locals on Friday nights, when La Plaine St André hosts a weekly party filled with live music, crushable rum cocktails, and food all around." - Steven Rioux
