The 19 Best Restaurants in Seychelles | Eater
"There’s never actually an inopportune time to dine at Kannel, but if push came to shove, go for a poolside, three-cocktail lunch to capitalize on the daily Petite Anse Fish Counter (a lunch-only offering). At the counter, guests choose their catch of the day, how they want their fish cooked (grilled is the move), and select an array of accompaniments (the Creole rice is non-negotiable). Get some bouyon blan — a traditional Seychellois fish soup made at Kannel with red snapper, tomato, bilimbi (a small, sour cucumber-like plant), kalbas (calabash gourd), and pumpkin sprouts — and the salad palmis (finely sliced heart of coconut palm) for the table too, and then pencil in an afternoon siesta. If lunch doesn’t fit your itinerary, visit for the weekly Kreol night, the hot ticket among well-to-do locals and tourists: Most of the week, dinner is typical Mediterranean fare, but on Mondays the kitchen mixes in local Seychellois cuisine, the Sesel Libres (Cuba Libres with local dark spiced rum) start flowing, and the music gets bumping." - Steven Rioux
