Establishments aimed at tourists invariably offer both local cuisine and international dishes but unless you have a particular hankering for something familiar, you’d be wise to take the opportunity to sample as much of the Creole cuisine as possible. For food that is as authentic as you are likely to get, try taking a step away from the obvious tourist joints and check out some of the places frequented more by the locals; here you’ll find food is not only cheaper but in no way tailored to suit the tourist palate. Local cuisine
As it is an island nation, it will come as no surprise to many that cuisine of the Seychelles is heavily influenced by the sea and also by produce afforded by tropical flora. Typically a menu in a traditional Creole restaurant will include dishes featuring tuna, shark, squid, prawn, lobster and grouper. Dishes are generally flavoured with exotic and pungent herbs and spices; and ingredients such as coconut, lime, fresh meat and tropical vegetables make up the base of popular creations. Curry-style dishes with coconut milk, turmeric, cumin, coriander seed and other spices are popular and can include either fish or meat as a main ingredient. | |
