Exotic Seychelles Dishes
Strongly influenced by a mixture of cultures in their cuisine, Seychellois cooking has a taste of African, Indian, French, English, and Chinese cuisine combined into their own island dishes. Curries, breadfruit and rice are a staple to every meal for the locals. As it is surrounded by the sea, seafood, especially fresh fish, is a main component of their menus. They use various methods in cooking seafood.
If you are more of the adventurous gastronome, have a bit of their ‘rousettes’ or fruit bats. Those who have tried this menu said it tastes similar to venison but can be a bit challenging to eat because of the tiny bones of the nocturnal fliers. You can find this dish in restaurants and have a choice of how it will be served.
Another exotic platter is the ‘cuisine bourgeoisie Seychelloise,’ which is made of jackfish terrine, gratin of palm heart, breadfruit and chicken salad, papaya flowers chutney, and rice.
You will truly dig in to the heart of Seychellois culture when you have a taste of their unique cooking.
