Fodor's Expert Review Café des Arts

Probably Praslin's best restaurant, Café des Arts is a funky, salmon- and aqua-toned haven of divine cuisine, located right on Cote d'Or, one of Seychelles' most beautiful beaches. The food here has a great reputation, meeting the fussiest fine diner's expectations. The octopus gratin with lobster and the tuna carpaccio with a caper, garlic, and olive oil dip are highly recommended. Save room for the desserts, which are fabulously decadent. The cheesy music is forgiven by the excellent and incredibly friendly service. Lunch consists of a lighter menu, served on the wooden deck set right on the beach. A new rooftop deck area is also a lovely place for a cocktail.
