    As someone who works as a kitchen chef in Turkey, it is definitely a place I recommend. products are fresh. cooking methods are very good. It is wonderful that they always serve with friendly staff. Thank you very much for these beautiful delicious presentations and buffet. I was very pleased to see people who love their job. You should definitely try the Creole buffet 💯 If you come to Seychelles, it is a must-visit place.

    We came here 2 times. The place is very nice with friendly staff. The vegan and vegetarian options could be better, but the curry was delicious. The view of the sea is also super nice!!

    Nice place to eat, delicious food. Tuna was fresh and well done. Portions are big. You have to expect that salads might have fruits, even if it’s a Greek salad. Otherwise nothing else to mention.

    Amazing bar / restaurant just across from the beach. Nice rustic feel with amazing views of the water and sand. Open to the breeze which is nice. Great cocktail selection with happy hour as well. Food is always excellent. Prices are standard for seychelles but expensive compared to other destinations. Pool table upstairs for some fun. Best part is the beer garden area great spot to unwind after a swim with a snack and a beer. Staff super friendly. Has a deli attached as well for ice cream, juice and sandwiches Recommended ✅️

    Unlucky for us we have been here last day, I have octopus curry and was one of the best creole dish I had on the island, staff are friendly and fast. Location is super. Recommend.

    Can I give this place more than 5 stars in any or all of the above categories? Without a doubt the most amazing place we found in Seychelles. You can have fun on the beaches of Beau Vallon and Bel Ombre, or the nature trails of the lush green Morne Seychellios National Park, snorkeling and diving and the amazing coral reefs in St. Anne’s Marine Park……but when you’re all done, there’s simply just one place to go at the end of your day to unwind. The Boathouse. It is charming and gives you a perfect feel of the island. Enjoy the your sundowners with the sunset and indulge in some of the best fish and Creole food on the island. Richard Mancien, a perfect gentleman, kind and generous, owns the place and makes it a point to meet his guests. A perfect host in a perfect place with perfect food on a perfect island. Try the fish and chips and ask for the breadfruit chips. By the way, if you want HALAL food, this is probably your best dine in option

    Lovely restaurant, brilliant service, staff are all happy and friendly. The atmosphere is great you feel really comfortable, I was on my own and was made to feel welcome. The food is lovely I had the buffet in the evening at 7 pm, it was fresh and delicious , red snapper and tuna don't miss them yamiiiii. The restaurant is situated near Beau Vallon Beach, great ocean view. Customer service is a top-notch, especially Mace (Nana).

    Very tasty dishes, I absolutely enjoyed my tuna steak wirh chips! Service was excellent and fast. I didn't like the fresh juice, made with local oranges, but too much sugar. The restaurant is very well situated in front of Beau Vallon beach. In the evenings (went on a Thursday) they also have delicious creole buffet, traditional dances and music in the background.

  • 5/5 Daniel K. S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice buffet from 19 to 21h. At 20:45 there was still enough of everything. I had red snapper (cut from a whole fish), tuna steak, octopus curry, eggplant, okra, mango and papaya salad, rice, breadfruit fries. Skipped desert. Relaxed bar at day time. Good virgin (or bloody) mary's. Also coffee and small snacks. Professional staff, US style. Feels like being somewhere there. Price of 550 for the buffet is reasonable compared to what one pays in other places (and you can eat as much as you like).

    Nice restaurant on beau vallon beach. Good and quick service there. There are a lot of different dishes on the menu. The size of the main meal is good. It was tasty. The price is very expensive so it was surprising.

    Great place with excellent service and food. Have eaten here at least 10 times. The dinner buffet costs 500 rupees per person. Consists of different sallads, hot meals and two desserts.

    Fantastic restaurant in Beau Vallon. We ate here twice for lunch during our stay and had the seafood platter on the first day. It was delicious and all the seafood was cooked perfectly. The second time we had a whole grilled grouper and tuna carpaccio. The grouper was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender and the creole sauce was amazing! The tuna carpaccio was also amazing! Staff are friendly, the service is fast and the location and venue itself are great! There is also parking right next door for those who are driving. Will definitely be back next time we’re in the Seychelles!

    We liked this place. We had a couple of drinks there. The good thing was that it was open at 09.45pm when we went out for drinks. Also the fact that we could pay by credit card was a plus. Prices were very good. Staff was very helpful. Recommended.

    Best restaurant along the beach road in Beau Vallon. If you are a burger fan, do try the homemade Tuna burger. If you are a curry fan, do try the Octopus curry and Prawn Curry. Fish fingers, calamari rings were too yummy to resist.

    Seychelles is desperate for good restaurants. This one is amazing and actually open when you get there. We made the drive from the east side 3x in 7 days. Always hit the mark!

  • 4/5 Anna C. 2 years ago on Google
    It was our first lunch at Seychelles so hard to draw conclusions. The tuna sashimi and garlic prawns were delicious. The wine was expensive and not impressive. The service was very good, location excellent

  • 4/5 Kavitha K. 8 months ago on Google
    Not bad The food was fresh but the lady got out order wrong and then wasn't anywhere to be found . The tuna steak was tasty No WiFi either so not great if you wanted to plan your trip for the rest of the day.

    (Translated by Google) Great location, nice place. Unfortunately the quality of the food and the service could not keep up. The ordered fish platter was more than an hour away, although only a third of the place was full. Judging by the smell and taste, the fish was not fresh, and the white wine ordered came warm to the table. Both the moderate price and the great view of the Beau Vallon couldn't hide it. (Original) Super Lage ,schönes Lokal.Leider konnte die Qualität der Speisen,sowie der Service nicht mithalten. Die bestellte Fischplatte ließ mehr als eine Stunde auf sich warten,obwohl das Lokal nur zu einem Drittel belegt war. Dem Geruch und Geschmack nach zu urteilen,war der Fisch nicht frisch.Der dazu bestellte Weisswein kam warm an den Tisch. Sowohl der moderate Preis,als auch der tolle Blick auf den Beau Vallon konnten darüber nicht hinwegtäuschen.

    Food's great and service super fast. Not off the beaten track but definitely hip and happening off a very popular beach. Great, great pina coladas. Thumbs up Boat House.

  • 5/5 Adnan K. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the busiest bar/restaurant in town. Even during the COVID travel restrictions it was quite full. The cocktails are great! I highly recommend the area food platter for 2 persons! It’s best to sit right in front directly at the street, especially on the first floor. Not only because you can watch the happenings at the street and the beach but also because it gets quite dark at the back of the restaurant...

    Great beach restaurant in an amazing setup, excellent cocktails and a great vibe. Prompt service and great food, the local job fish fillet was delicious.

  • 3/5 Ann-Marie B. 3 years ago on Google
    We were sitting on the top which was more calm and with a nice view. On the groundfloor the music was too loud to talk with each other. The drinks came fast and the ordered food too. We had a Octopus Curry which was not that good - not even a curry taste and the rice was way too dry. My Tuna Burger was tasty and juicy. We were lucky, I assume in normal times you cannot have a quit seat as it might me more party there.

    (Translated by Google) Beau Vallon. A little more touristy than the south. Nice ambience in the boat house, very friendly people. Lunch snack recommended! Beach 20m away. Shops around the corner. In the middle of a curve, ideal for observing life and enjoying it on the side. We have been there several times. (Original) Beau Vallon. Etwas touristischer als der Süden. Schönes Ambiente im Boat House, sehr freundliche Leute. Mittagssnack empfehlenswert! Strand 20m weg. Shops ums Eck. Mitten in einer Kurve, ideal um das Leben zu beobachten und nebenbei zu genießen.
