best in northern Mahé. It's sparkling clean and it even has that rare thing - character, in
abundance. Shame that only rooms No 1 and 5 come with a view of Victoria and Ste Anne
Marine National Park (other rooms are at the back). Meals can be arranged on request.

Up
on the road to Sans Souci (but an easy bus ride from the centre), Mountain Rise is in an
atmospheric, airy heritage home that offers five unadorned yet spacious rooms. There's
also a good Creole restaurant and a swimming pool. No air-con, but the location benefits
from cooling breezes.

Hot Spot Take Away
OFFLINE MAP
(Quincy St; mains Rs 30-50; lunch Mon-Sat)
Frills are sparse, but servings are anything but stingy
in this hole-in-the-wall next door to the Hindu temple. Expect salted pork, yellowfin tuna
steak, fried rice and fish 'n' chips.

This buzzy eatery popular
with students rustles up light meals, including salads, soups and sandwiches. It's nothing
to write home about but prices are competitive. Keep your fluids up with a zesty smoothie
or a juice concoction.
