Description: The ultimate in fine dining Set right on the beach, the Cafe des Arts Restaurant has earned its reputation as the best restaurant in Seychelles by creating outstanding mouth-watering dishes served in the most amazing setting. Seafood and epicurean dishes are the main attractions, making the restaurant the address not to be missed. The art is in the attention to detail and the fresh ingredients served to perfection with refined service and a touch of class. By day it is a sophisticated yet relaxed beach dining experience and by night the whole atmosphere transforms into a chic and elegant high-class restaurant with a sumptuous decor. Cafe des Arts is synonymous with gastronomy at its finest. The "Blue Octopus Bar" serves cocktails and other drinks. NOTE: Children under the age of 5 are not permitted.

Had dinner here few times and there is no consistency at all, it can vary from average to great. However with the price paid, average experience turns into terrible. Service is a little bit better than everywhere in Seychelles.

Please be aware of that place!
The food is so low quality, too expensive and the service is really bad. The restaurant offers you the free pick up and back from the hotel. Sometimes they can decide to not take you back to the hotel as they did with us, and we have found ourself alone at the unknown place at 23:00 walking few kilometers and looking for our hotel.
We ate there once and the food was awful. We ordered sushi and the octopus pumpkin for starters and the grilled lobster and the curry calmari with fish. All of the dishes were very low quality and not tasty. The sushi was like homemade and so simple, the octopus was chewy and not eatable. The lobster was full of oil, dry and overcoocked. The calmari at the curry were chewy as well. We just tryied the main dishes (the lobster and the calmari curry) and asked to give it back. The restaurant decided to charge us for them, despite we didn't eat them, cause we touched them (of course, how could we know that they are so bad?). We asked not to pay for them, but the main waitress told that she will not charge us only for one of the dishes, but not for both of them. We agreed to pay only for those dishes we ate, so they alert us to call the police and we did agree to call them. The police didn't come so they gave us a new bill and just refused to take us back to the hotel. Very bad and dissappointing experience.

A nice place to sit and relax, enjoy lunch or just a nice smoothie or coffee. Plenty of seats and a lovely view.
