    Great restaurant inside the Story hotel but welcomes external guests. Plenty of parking on premises. Excellent cocktails and even better food. We ordered beef skewers, coconut crispy shrimp, Hawaiian salad, grilled chicken and the fried rice. Wouldn’t recommend the prawns or salad but the grilled chicken and fried rice were amazing. Live band, good atmosphere and probably one of the best places to eat on Mahe in Seychelles.

    It’s in the story resort, free parking available and reservation is required (I contacted them on WhatsApp). The restaurant is nicely decorated and has an interesting menu, especially for drinks, but then while the quality of everything is good, I wasn’t particularly impressed with it

    If you do not stay in the hotel you must do a reservation to make sure you get a table in the evening, the restaurant is located inside hotel area. Great menu (some starters are really huge) and super lovely cocktails, workers there are very calm and sweet. Interior fit to the team of all the around it all the way to the menu.

    I am sold for the cocktails they have on offer . The music is super ambient and the food is great. I was there twice but I found the service very average. I fell for the location of the place , the way it was designed and the wares they used to serve their cocktails. This surely is an international chain which knows what it is doing. Withholding one star for the prices, it’s super expensive.

    Disappointed: We decided to do a “walk-in”. The ladies were a bit reluctant to give us additional chair and tables because the said our guests would not turn up. We had 6 adults and 3 child. The food took 33mins to arrive. Very little variety of food to be honest. The kids menu were on a separate piece of paper that was not very presentable. The table was not set properly and the servers did not checkup on us at all during our meal. I guess the place works well for drinks not for dinner.

    Great ambience, both inside and outside seating. Outside is serene, while inside seating can enjoy the live music. Decent service and good menu range. Equally good was the taste.

  • 5/5 Georgios A. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best reastaurants of the island. You can find it in the Stoy Seychells hotel, beter make a reservation before you go. It is little expensive but is totally worth it. Amazing food and excelent cocktails, live music and great service. Costs around 50-60 euros per person, including the drinks.

  • 5/5 Letizia B. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Lovely place, very nice staff. Great food with a very spicy flavor (if you want to add the fantastic sauces with which they accompany each dish) even if the spice really enhances the food, it does not cover it. Quality of raw materials really good on an island where sometimes and maybe often you pull yourself to fairies. Stellar drinks !!!!! (Original) Posto incantevole, personale molto gentile. Ottimo food dal piglio molto speziato (se hai voglia di aggiungere le fantastiche salse con cui accompagnano ogni piatto) anche se davvero la spezia esalta il cibo, non lo copre. Qualità delle materie prime davvero ottima in un'isola dove a volte e forse spesso si tira a fate. Drink stellari!!!!!

    We were 10 people we called in and made a Reservetion this Mrng for big table inside arriving at 20:00 , we arrived on time and set Down waiters wee friendly and took care for a WiFi code for our children. Drinks took ages to arrive and we had to remind them about it then the waiter came and took the order for starters and main course, part of us got starters while rest had to wait longer and then came the second part main course took Alonso 1.30 hrs to arrive food was gd and not even one bad word about it all very well cooked. We asked from the waiter to bring us the desert menu and here comes the shocking part. _> sorry sir kitchen is closed we can’t offer you desert this was the answer I got from the waiter and while telling her what I think about it she was not even looking surprised from me been shocked and terrible unhappy. With no chance of getting any help we had to pay our bill and leave with much sadness as our family saw the list of deserts and wanted to order it. Thanks guys for an unhappy Experience.

    We stayed at the story hotel a d ate two times at traders vics. The cocktail where awesome but some food are horrible expensive. There are cheap options on the menu but most of the food in my opinion is definitely overpriced. Even drinks are insane expensive. You could go here but take on your big pocket. They have live music which was very cosy but if you dine indoor it's to loud.

    Prawns were fresh and cooked well. Cocktails are yummy. The place was well decorated in tribal style.

    Very nice place to be on a Saturday night. Food very Good, service very good, staff very polite warm and friendly and a very nice ambience . And these comments our from a British expat (14 years plus now)

  • 5/5 Dzung N. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful dining experience during our vacation! It is worth mentioning that the restaurant is part of a resort but you do not have to be a guest of the resort to go there. Reservation was made via WhatsApp with quick replies from the service team. My wife and I went there for dinner. The service, the atmosphere as well as the food were excellent. Lots of options for food and drinks with extraordinarily good cocktails. Definitely recommended!

  • 5/5 Khevina W. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing interior design, perfect ambiance for a night out with friends, great choice of drinks and snacks. And the cherry 🍒 on cake is the one and only live band playing as from 9pm over there! The best live band so far!!! Great voices and suberb talents! Hats off!

  • 5/5 Martin S. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very good and high quality but not very cheap restaurant. At any rate, we liked it very much. The ambience is also very nice. The portions are not huge but absolutely sufficient. For a romantic and special dinner for two highly recommended. (Original) Sehr gutes und hochwertiges aber auch nicht ganz preiswertes Restaurant. Uns hat es jedenfalls sehr gut geschmeckt. Das Ambiente ist zudem sehr schön. Die Portionen sind nicht riesig aber absolut ausreichend. Für ein romantisches und besonderes Dinner zu zweit sehr zu empfehlen.

  • 4/5 Olaf J S. 5 years ago on Google
    Good food and a huge selection of cocktails. Great looking and thoroughly done but with live singing it's nearly impossible to keep a conversation going.

  • 5/5 Andrius B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good restaurant with amazing cocktails. Big portions and tasty food. Trying an original Mai Tai is a must.

  • 5/5 Jamila S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food many delicious drink options, but the best part was the live music. The singer has a beautiful voice that only enhanced the experience!

  • 4/5 Stephane A. 2 years ago on Google
    Cocktails are great,one of the best on the island, but the food are overrated. Chimichurri sauce for one was not,,, Chimichurri… Beef was cooked nicely but lacked seasoning. Crab wontons were too oily and being served with fried vermicelli did not help. The Beef Cho Cho was delicious, a must have. Will definitely be back for the Cocktails and that Cho Cho.

  • 4/5 Dipu C. 6 years ago on Google
    Great ambience . One of the few places in Seychelles where you get some drinks and bite after 11 pm ! Expensive but not overpriced considering the ambience .

  • 5/5 Jonathan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Anything coming out of that chinese wood fired oven is phenomenal. The dishes were so good we went back again the next day for more. Nestled in the center of Story resort, it is a standalone building. We thought Trader Vic's was closed until we walked in from the beach side. Coffee and coconut cocktails are also something i didnt think I would enjoy so much.

  • 5/5 Annah J. 1 year ago on Google
    Went back twice in the 3 days we were in Mahe! Exceptional cocktails mixed up by Dushan and Aye was kind enough to get us a table the second time around even though the hotel was at full occupancy and they weren't accepting non-hotel guests. Call ahead and try not to walk-in. Had a grumpy hotel security guard at the entrance whose people-skills needed work on our first visit, but a word with the manager at Traders had him straight on the phone to resolve that behaviour.

  • 5/5 Allan A. 5 years ago on Google
    Warmest place i visited. Nice persons and food.

  • 3/5 Paweł P. 1 year ago on Google
    Should be 4 or even 5 But the music is just exhaustingly loud! Food here is great! Good all around choice throughout our stay we’ve been there few time and where pleasantly surprised how good is the food and how generous are the portions. For smaller hunger even the starters where big enough. Cocktails are excellent and definitely worth a try! The downside is the music. It’s live and the singer is good! However it is just too loud. Outside sometimes it’s hard to keep the conversation while inside you can’t hear your own thoughts! With such high quality of food and drinks such loud music just spoils the experience!

  • 4/5 Nabil Al A. 1 year ago on Google
    As expected, Trader Vic’s experience was wonderful! The vibes from the Cuban band was really nice, drinks excellent, but only the new menu food was slightly below expectations

  • 1/5 Charlotte de B. 1 year ago on Google
    After reading the positive posts I was so happy to take my family for a nice pre Christmas dinner. We drove an hour full of excitement. The food quality was very poor unfortunately - properly the worst meal of my year. The dishes were not fresh, just from a package heated up (esp the sauce), the main dishes were all very tasteless and not fresh and over cooked (don’t have the Pad Thai), the cocktail had too much syrup in it and be careful they wanted to take double service charge + tip which is not common for the Seychelles.

  • 5/5 Francisc B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in Mahe! We recommend it for great food and awesome Trader Vic’s cocktails 5*

  • 5/5 richard G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice and informative owners. Facilities are the cleanest on the island. Areas nearby are simply breathtaking. Cant understand why anyone would not like it! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and authentic seychellois experience!

  • 5/5 John W. 11 months ago on Google
    It's hard to fault this place in any way. The food is consistently good in quality and is varied as well as having a great and original cocktail menu. There's music live here, with a lady singing Latino-style music on the occasions we visited (a lovely smooth vocal style). This was our go-to along with the 1502 Bar when we dined in the Story resort, as we were always sure of a high standard of food. Reservations are preferred, however, we walked in on several occasions too. Very good indeed.

  • 5/5 Nir L. 6 years ago on Google
    Great cocktail bar and restaurant. Staff super friendly and professional, we drank 4 different cocktails all were very good and strong. We also dined there and the food was fresh, very good, and they managed to offer me perfect Vegan dishes! The atmosphere is so fun, weren’t many people around, though everyone danced and had lots of fun :) Highly recommended!

  • 3/5 Max P. 7 months ago on Google
    We had some mixed feelings about this restaurant. Some dishes were good (steak, crab) and definitely at a good standard (first restaurant that did medium rare). Whereas some dishes really didn't hit the mark (duck, tofu dishes) at all. To the degree to call them unpleasant. The cocktails were a highlight. The music was too loud sadly. The service was fine.

  • 5/5 Glen S. 6 years ago on Google
    Food was lovely, without a doubt best we had on the island and staff were really friendly. They allowed us to eat early before the restaurant actually opened as we had our two year old son with us. They also brought him a birthday cake without us even telling them it was his birthday! Highly recommend.

    Sometimes you need a good Polynesian restaurant with tiki drinks. The tidbits starter was great.. The duck curry was delicious too. Lamb was kinda bland Great atmosphere and service. Love the drink menu

    The drinks are what makes this place great. When the food is also good, it makes me want to come back and try more of the menu.

  • 5/5 Gerhard K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Was absolute class. Came without reservation. Get table on the porch. Food was excellent, drinks excellent, staff friendly and accommodating. This has then also noticeable in the price. That was also worth it. It was a great evening. What should perhaps be mentioned, because it does not really come over, the place belongs to the H resort, food is allowed to come. (Original) War absolute Klasse. Kamen ohne Reservierung. Tisch auf der Veranda bekommen. Essen hervorragend, Getränke ausgezeichnet, Personal freundlich und zuvorkommend. Dies hat sich dann auch im Preis bemerkbar gemacht. Dass war es aber auch Wert. War ein schöner Abend. Was vielleicht noch erwähnt werden sollte, weil es nicht so richtig rüber kommt, das Lokal gehört zum H Ressort, Essen kommen darf jeder.

    (Translated by Google) My wife and I wanted to visit the restaurant and then decide if we would like to eat there. After we parked, we were driven with a caddy to the entrance. The driver was very friendly. He even waited a moment to drive us back to our car if we could not get a seat in the restaurant. That's what I call service! We got a very nice table outdoors. The table was a bit too high or the seat a bit too deep. We still wanted this beautiful place though there were other places available. The friendly waiter has informed us in detail about the dishes so we could make a perfect decision. My wife had chicken kung pao and I had TRADER VIC'S 5 SPICE DUCK. The food was very delicious. We have eaten in some restaurants in Mahe, this was the best! The price was fair. If you do not want to spend so much money, in a fast food restaurant, if you want to eat nice and delicious, I recommend this restaurant. We have paid just under € 100 for two. Every penny was worth it. The location is very nice. There was live music and a nice atmosphere. Many thanks (Original) Meine Frau und ich wollten uns das Restaurant anschauen und anschließend entscheiden ob wir dort essen möchten. Nachdem wir geparkt hatten, wurden wir mit einem caddy bis zum Eingang gefahren. Der Fahrer war sehr freundlich. Er hat sogar kurz gewartet um uns wieder an unser Auto zurück zu fahren, falls wir keinen Platz im Restaurant bekommen. Das nenne ich Service! Wir haben einen sehr schönen Tisch im freien bekommen. Der Tisch war ein bisschen zu hoch oder der Sitz ein bisschen zu tief. Wir wollten dennoch diesen schönen Platz obwohl es andere freie Plätze gab. Der freundliche Kellner hat uns ausführlich über die Gerichte informiert sodass wir eine perfekte Entscheidung treffen konnten. Meine Frau hatte chicken kung pao und ich hatte TRADER VIC’S 5 SPICE DUCK. Das Essen war sehr sehr lecker. Wir haben bisher in einigen Restaurants in Mahe gegessen, das hier war das Leckerste! Der Preis war fair. Wer nicht so viel Geld ausgeben möchte, kann in ein fast food Restaurant, wer schön und lecker essen möchte, dem empfehle ich dieses Restaurant. Wir haben zu zweit knapp 100€ bezahlt. Jeder Cent war es wert. Die Location ist sehr schön. Es gab live Musik und damit eine schöne Stimmung. Vielen Dank

    Best restaurant on Mahe. Excellent cocktails, food. Great atmosthere. Come 10 minutes before opening and grab a table outside for beautiful view on the pond and fountain, as it fills extremly fast right after open. If coming outside the hotel, there is vast parking. When driving into H Hotel, tell the gatekeeper that you are going to Trader Vic's. Obviusly, this place is quite expensive.

    The food here is pretty good compared to many other restaurants on Mahe. The service can be improved, though. The music can be way too loud at times that it disrupts your meal. I was celebrating my husband's birthday, and we could hardly get a word across without having to yell, given that our table was not too far from the stage. The decor is a little too eerie for my taste. Overall, I love the place for the food, which has never disappointed.

    The service was truly amazing, Raian is a real gem of a human being and server. The food was good, the drinks even better! Not to mention that they invented ”Mai Tai” and yes, it was good!
