What to eat in Seychelles

Seychellois cooking puts fish, rice, coconut and spice to work in several ways. Curries, grilled fish and ladob show how Indian Ocean ingredients meet African, French, British, Indian and Chinese influences.

What to eat in Seychelles

Why go

Start with the preparation rather than a long menu of species. Fish may be grilled, steamed, smoked or wrapped in banana leaves, often with rice. Coconut, ginger, lemongrass and tamarind add different flavours. Ladob can be sweet with plantain or savoury with salted fish, so its name alone does not tell you what will arrive.

What to look for

  • Fish can be grilled, steamed, smoked or cooked in banana leaves.
  • Ladob has both sweet and savoury forms.
  • Coconut, ginger, lemongrass and tamarind appear across local dishes.
