Our creole cuisine is also open to the public. If you choose the Bed & Breakfast package, but wish to taste our creations, please do book yourself a table at the reception anytime.
We serve only our Seychelles dishes. The most important feature of this cuisine is a careful blending of spices. Also, in this region people use a lot of coconut milk and breadfruit. For eg. coconut fish or meat curries, grilled fish, bouillon brèdes, salade de palmiste (coconut palm). Another delicacy that can be found on Seychellois cuisine is la daube which is made from breadfruit, bananas, yams and cassavas. Potatoes are prepared in many different ways, being chipped, mashed, or roasted. Some of the locally produced vegetables and fruits are aubergines, choux choutes, calabashes, bananas, mangoes, avocados, pineapples, limes, melons and golden apples. As for meat dishes, the most common are Pork and Chicken. Seafood specialities ist mainly fish and octopus but also lobster and shellfish (subject to fishing season only). Special orders can be made for these dishes. Our reception will gladly inform you on the actual menu prices. Seafood and meat can be served grilled or it can be served in spicy curry preparations. The curry sauce often involves coconut milk and citronnelle (lemongrass). You can have octopus - of a tenderness you've never experienced before - and a host of different types of fish : tuna, shark, rabbit fish (cordonnier), parrot fish (poisson perroquet), mullet (rouget), ballan wrasse (vieille)... you might meet some of these while scuba diving!
Dishes are accompanied with long grain white rice, plain or spiced or saffron flavoured (bread is no habit) - we produce only white bread.
Another side dish is what we call "chatini", a condiment served cold, made with thinly sliced marinated vegetables or fruit, cooked or raw : eggplant, cucumber, cabbage, papaya, mango or pumpkin.
Citronnelle (lemongrass) is used in food, but also to make infusions, and after dinner you are offered tea, coffee or citronnelle.
We like fruits for dessert: mango, pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, paw-paw (papaya) and carambole (starfruit).
Other desserts include bananas or papaya in caramel and cream sauce, bread pudding with custard, coconut or banana tarts, delicious coconut sorbet, and a mean coconut nougat.
Our freshly squeezed fruit juices are a hit! Taste them at breakfast!
In all, a gastronomical experience worth it!
