You may sail from La Digue to Cocos Island and dip in a gorgeous natural aquarium.
Seychellois Cuisine
Magical. The number of islands that make up the total of 115 is less famous, and the cuisine is much more of an indigenous cuisine that continues to develop. The taste of ancestral knowledge, passed down through generations, where the flavors blend together perfectly and explode in the mouth. The food of Seychelles is still a one-of-a-kind, high-quality delicacy.
The cuisine of Seychelles is influences by Chinese, African, Indian, Portuguese, Dutch, and, most notably, French elements. It was able to take the best of each country and blend it into its own character, originality, and mix, according to the passages of numerous settlers and adventure seekers. This is arguably the least well-known of Creole cuisines, yet it is distinctive in its own right, much like the Seychelles. Enjoy the dishes prepared from freshly-caught fish and don’t forget to try the signature dishes of the island from Mahe, Seychelles hotels.
