We had one of the most delicious meals during our time in Seychelles, and the views were absolutely stunning as well. Regrettably, the strong winds prevented us from enjoying the outdoor seating. Nonetheless, the food was absolutely fantastic. We decided to try the deviled chicken, fish in a local (possibly creole) sauce, and some fritters, and everything was incredibly tasty.

The creole curry at this beach in Seychelles is truly the best. Although we only ordered two main courses, we were pleasantly surprised to receive five dishes as they also include side dishes! So, it's important to remember not to order too much. The dishes took a while to cook, but the wait was definitely worth it. The beach location is lovely. Although it may seem a bit more expensive compared to other places, the exceptional quality justifies the price completely.

The beach is in a fantastic location and offers delicious Creole food. I highly recommend enjoying a sundowner at the beach bar and indulging in some fresh fish at the restaurant. It appears to be locally owned.

This beach is truly one of the top restaurants on the island! The interior design is both trendy and cozy, and the location is absolutely stunning. They specialize in serving delicious Creole food. I highly recommend trying their chicken curry and grilled crab!

We had dinner at this place three times and each time the food was absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding as well, so we have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant. Oh, and let me tell you, the sunset at this beach was absolutely breathtaking. We had an amazing time there.
