We hard a wonderful time over there... Great location and perfect food! The service was excellent. When we were there, there was a really good band singing... Everything was amazing! There is a boutique where you can find really nice gifts. And at the entrance, there is a nice art gallery with some local artists.

We have dined at a number of restaurants on Mahe and Praslin and our night at Cafes des Arts was by far the best and most complete experience. Brilliant service and well trained staff. The food was excellently cooked and presented. It also tasted and ate well. Well done.

I am sad to say that my girlfriend and I only tried this restaurant the night before we left Praslin. Had we gone earlier in our trip, we would have dined at least 2 or 3 times. The atmosphere is romantic and right next to the beach. The service was great and the seafood was to die for (job fish... More

This bijou restaurant has a great ambiance and is set directly on the beach with nice views. The service is good, if a little over attentive, the food was average for Praslin - certainly nothing amazing. What was really amazing was the exchange rate offered if you want to pay in Euros - every other restaurant on the Seychelles exchanges... More

We chose to eat out of our hotel one night and looked this restaurant up on trip advisor. Upon arrival it seemed nice and low key and it was busy giving the restaurant a nice atmosphere to enjoy dinner with the sound of the waves in the background. The prices were good and the wine we had previously in our... More

We booked a table for dinner at Cafe des Arts restaurant (I know it used to be part of the Duc de Praslin Hotel but it has recently changed owner so it may be owned independently) without thinking much about the type of the cuisine it served. The location and the setting - just by Cote D'Or beach - were... More

Food was slightly above average and certainly not the caliber I expected given the price point and attitude (definitely much snottier than what I care to deal with on a tropical island). Nothing wrong with it, but nothing to write home about either.

We went twice in one week for dinner only to this restaurant owned in partnership with the Le Duc hotel (I believe). The service is absolutely impeccable: the manageress and staff could not have been more helpful. The food was very good indeed -- it specialises in fish, but also had a good selection of other meat dishes as well,... More

We went for dinner only. Service was excellent, and staff very helpful and friendly. Good menu selection, but found prices to be very high in comparison to similar establishments in the area. Being a beachfront independent restaurant I found the "long trousers recommended" advice for men to be somewhat unnecessary and pretentious, given that Praslin is a relaxed holiday island.... More
