ESSENTIAL FOOD & DRINK
Meat lovers, come prepared: the cuisine of the Seychelles is heavily influenced by the surrounding ocean, with
fish appearing as the main ingredient in many dishes. Cultural influences are also distinctive, with a blend of
European (mostly French and Italian) and African gastronomic delights.
The real beauty of Seychellois cuisine is its freshness and simplicity. After all, what could be better than the
fish of the day with rice or the bright flavours of a smoked fish salad? Throw in views of lush hills and azure sea,
some fine local beer or a freshly squeezed juice and you are looking at a great culinary experience - simple but
great.
You'll find various types of eateries, from takeaway outlets to refined restaurants serving more elaborate
dishes.
Many visitors to the Seychelles opt for packages that include breakfast and dinner at their hotel. If you'd prefer
to sample local specialities, enjoy the Seychelles' many fine eateries, feast on views, and share a beach picnic
with the locals, you'll find that a bed and breakfast will allow you more flexibility.
