"Part of the Laïla hotel across the street, Kafe Kreol in Anse Royale is a family-friendly beachside haven that serves a hodgepodge of Seychellois Creole and Italian food. Pastas are made fresh daily, like the spaghetti vongole (which gets the chef’s kiss), while mango adds a twist to octopus salad, a refreshing Seychellois staple. In true Seychelles style, the atmosphere is super relaxed, which makes Kafe Kreol a good choice if you’re coming off the beach in your flip-flops or after hiking one of the island’s many spectacular trails. Once you finish your meal, order a fresh coconut, pop that straw in there, and head down to the beach to digest with your toes in the sand." - Steven Rioux
