Auberge Chez Plume

Didn’t stay here, only came to the restaurant for dinner. However the other guests do have a point about this hotel being by the roadside, I can see the rooms from where I’m eating and I doubt the walls do much for the sound. There’s limited parking across the road, same for down the road beside the mini market next door. Knowing the slow traffic here I’m sure it’s not hard to get a spot. I came at night in late August, still low season for beachgoers. In fact I was the only diner there, had a chuckle thinking about my concierge making the effort to book a table lol I was expecting to have spanner crabs for appetizers and mains, unfortunately both weren’t available. So it’s the shrimp and fish then. Yes they did have bat on the menu, not about to risk an upset stomach on my holiday though. They give warm bread while I wait which is very welcome since the wait was quite long (remember I am the only diner and they don’t do app takeouts here). The shrimps were underwhelming, six little pieces and they had a texture that hinted at the limits of shelf life, very limp and breakable. Taste was okay. The fish main was better. Creole style. Personally, not for me, I’m not the biggest fan of sour dishes of which this is certainly one. The chutney globs pull the flavor profile in other directions, none of which are to my taste. Quality of fish was good though it had a lot of small bones, better eaten with the hands imo. The killer here is the price: Both dishes and a water total up to 920 rupees. Nope. I certainly expected more for that kind of money. Not recommended.

Many reviews rate this as a 4 star hotel however I believe 3 star is more in line when comparing to other hotels. The hotel and rooms are basic and is very isolated requiring expensive ($70 - 80) taxi rides to / from the airport or the main town Victoria. The restaurant was OK except for the fact that they have Fruit bat on the menu which apart from being engaged species just seems an item that shouldn't be on any menu. The staff and owner are all very nice and helpful.

Great place with lovely and always smiling staff who were so kind and organized the tour also transfers to the hotel and the Airport, plus Rent a car for us. The breakfast was superb - English style with tropical fruits, coffee and juices. Staff was very friendly, the owner stopped too for a greet. Thanks to them we had a really nice time on the magnificent Seychelles!

A dreamy place. Comfortable beds, a beautifully maintained patio, and everything spotless. Perfect for relaxing. Birds even come by to ask for food. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the Wi-Fi connection is unbeatable! Highly recommend and would definitely return.

an excellent location, safe and clean! a kind staff and a very friendly owner. it is located in the most beautiful area of ​​the island. it is halfway between Petite Anse Beach and Port Launay, which are the most beautiful beaches on the island of Mahe. We are sorry that we have to leave, but we will probably return to the same place!

Good location just by the side of the coastal road but you have to find the parking nearby as there’s not sufficient dedicated parking at the restaurant. The menu in the restaurant offers great choice at quite reasonable cost.

We really enjoyed the food. We came for a late lunch/ early dinner. We ordered mostly creole seafood. I had a Marlin Salad and a Ginger Crab- and it was very delicious. Price is ok, it is normal price for Seychelles. I would definitely go here again.

Unfortunately, it was not a great experience at the restaurant (nothing to say about the hotel as we did not stay there). They served a burned fish at the start, and after telling to the waiter they fixed it, but then my husband finished his dish before they re-served my fish… on top of that, they have the fruit bat in their menu which is very sad..:( however, our mocktails were good.
