Kafe Kreol

Top choice in Mahé


One of the east coast's best seaside restaurants, stylish and breezy Kafe Kreol combines beachside charm, good service and terrific food; the octopus curry is outstanding, the tuna is cooked just right and the pizzas are excellent. Try local Slow Turtle Cider, or locally made Shark's ice cream, then wander down to the beach to cap off a near-perfect afternoon.

Don't forget to check the daily specials board, too.
