Unique Culinary Experiences in Seychelles
Overview
The best way to immerse yourself in a country's culture is through its food, and what better way to begin learning what it is to be Seychellois than by tasting its rich cuisine? Wherever you wander in the country, you will always stumble upon the taste of Seychelles, either at a food stall, restaurant, or a home-cooked meal.
If you want to have a hand in cooking your own Creole delight, or you may instead be searching for a one-of-a-kind dining experience, below are some options to consider.
Cook your own food at Maria's Rock Café
Much like its aesthetic, Maria's Rock Café's dining experience is something out of the ordinary. It is one of the only restaurants in Seychelles offering its guests the chance to cook their food at their table. Fully equipped with sauces, spices and meat, you’ll be able to cook your seafood of choice on a hot lava rock. Imagine prawns sizzling in front of you, their aromatic odour tickling your senses – followed by a thirst-quenching fresh juice to wash down your meal, topped off with a dessert for your sweet tooth. Your day is pretty much golden!
Learn how to cook the Creole way.
How can you receive the authentic Seychellois experience, you ask? Well, you could first start by learning how to cook like one.
You could attend a Full Day Creole Cooking Class on Mahe facilitated by Tour Bookers, where you will learn how to make various dishes, such as grilled fish, coconut curry, Seychellois-style papaya chutney and so much more. Once you have caught on, nothing is stopping you from going to Market Street in Victoria and buying ingredients for your meal.
