    Amazing spot for lunch, quiet when we first walked in at 12.30pm but trusted the reviews and it soon filled up with mainly tourists but also locals. Standard menu but also a fresh daily menu, they own their own boat in the water across the road and catch the daily fresh catch. I had a massive well cooked Red Snapper fillet with rice and a side sauce. Mrs had the best crab claw curry ever!! - food envy. Just go here…… that’s my advice! Staff all very friendly, most currency accepted along with Visa. Very clean and very Covid secure processes

    The restaurant is right on the main road and very easy to find. Service was fast and friendly, the waitress showed us the fresh fish before it was cooked perfectly for us. House wine was also surprisingly good. The only reason they do not get 5 stars is the prawns dish that was very small and unsatisfying.

    This place turned out to be such a nice surprise for me because I suggested it was just a mediocre restaurant down the road. What was my amazement when we were welcomed by very nice ladies, they checked our temperature at the entry and let us choose a table by our own. We asked for fish of the day and choose a red snapper for two (absolutely enough for 2 people). No words left - so delicious cooked, I would say - better than 4-stars hotel restaurants in Seychelles! Really, if you are beaching at Baie Lazare, Takamaka Beach or Anse Petite where we went before that - you should visit La Gaulette for lunch. They have great desserts and also fresh coconuts which are known for hydrating the body better than pure water (a tactic I use when I go to the beach). So, food, drinks, cleanliness, attitude they deserve all 5! + they have a parking.

    Best octopus curry I’ve had so far on the island! Food is fresh, delicious, especially when you choose catch of the day! Service is fast, friendly staff, a welcoming manager! A bit pricey, but worth the experience

    Not a wide variety of vegan options. They only had vegetable curry on this visit which was actually really good. The Restaurant is located by the road with a lovely view of the beach.

    Lekker chill Beach Café vibes with very tasty food at reasonable prices. Its got a barefeet & boardshort beachy dresscode casual vibe. Perfectly prepared local Red snapper fish 🐟 The Prawn curry sauce was very tasty. Food is amazing. Good spot for a lunch or sunset drink with sand on your toes. Down the road from Kempinski, which was very convenient. Keep in mind they are closed on Mondays.

    TL:DR Fresh catch of a day fish with kreole twist in a lovely scenic place with friendly stuff. A lovely place with ambience and authentically helpful and friendly service that is adjacent next to one of the most beautiful beaches (I’ve seen at the majority on Mahé for comparison). It is pricey as the seyshelles generally is but quality/value for money is unprecedented. ( 600-700 Seyshelles rupies for the whole fish, water and sides; pictured)

    Veeery tasty food Very nice place by the sea. Visited couple of times and food taste amazing! Nice service, nice cocktails as well. Just one thing if you order crab curry take into consideration it’s a whole crab with the shell in the curry :) but taste AMAZING!

    We enjoyed every but of the food. Smoked fish salad was just marvelous. Fish curry was really good also. Our daughter enjoyed the fish and chips which were if really high quality also.

    La Gaulette restaurant - out favourite restaurant for authentic Creole cusine on the main island. Staff is extremely friendly and the seafood is so fresh it is next to none. On top, you get fresh Hand-Made cocktails and a good could Seybrew. A must-visit when on Mahe!

  • 2/5 Luan V. 3 months ago on Google • 102 reviews New
    Overall: We really wanted to like the restaurant since we started at the Lazare Picault Hotel but sadly did not have a great experience that included undercooked fish and won't come back here anytime soon. Food: The mixed salad was mostly cabbage and carrots with a few slices of cucumber, fewer slices of tomatoes and a tiny bit of soft mango on top. The salad comes without dressing, but there is oil, vinegar, salt and pepper on the table for that. The curry was decent, but overwhelmingly tasted like coconut milk, so it was very filling and got old very quick. We had a kid's Spaghetti Bolognese and for some reason that tasted very sweet with hints of ketchup. This seemed to be a theme as they also mentioned to the waitress that their grilled mussels we're also too sweet. The highlight of the meal was supposed to be the fish brochette (skewers) were too sweet with the dominant flavor of bbq sauce. The worst part was that 2-3 pieces of fish (and vegetablesas well) were undercooked and even smelled like raw fish with insufficient cold storage, and so we went from disappointed about food quality to worrying about food safety. Service: The service was friendly and polite, but not as jovial as the jokes on the menus had suggested. However, they failed to mention any of the specials on the board that were out of sight at our table and when we wanted to change one of the dishes for a special (within 5 minutes of ordering), we were refused with a sorry and a shoulder shrug. It would have also been great for the service to mention that the mixed salad (mostly cabbage and carrots) is essentially served with every main course and therefore superfluous. One odd thing was that when we called ahead we were told that they don't take walk ins and that we had to make a reservation, but then there were plenty of tables available for the time that we came, leaving a bit of a bad impression of being coaxed into committing to come. Ambience: Outdoor seating is quite nice with the ambient skins of waves lapping the shore. Unfortunately, we arrived at 8:10 and by 9 the staff began to stack chairs and drag tables across the floor, which made us feel a bit like we're being rushed out of the restaurant.

    (Translated by Google) Great stop after a swim. Very relaxed and easy. There are many nice dishes, including Fish and chips and pizza. Nice lady, reasonably priced. You sit on the street, but you can see a bit of the great bay. (Original) Super Stopp nach einem Badetag. Sehr entspannt und locker. Es gibt viele nette Gerichte, u.a. Fish and Chips und Pizza. Nette Dame, preislich in Ordnung. Man sitzt an der Straße, sieht aber ein bisschen auf die tolle Bucht.

  • 3/5 Marco M. 4 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is overrated in my opinion. We asked whether the fresh pineapple juice was done "à la minute" and we were told it was done just 15 minutes ago. That may actually have been correct, but the juice was definitely not made from fresh pineapples, it tasted like canned pineapple and was really not good. We also has an octopus curry and seafood spaghetti, both of which were really tasty. The calamari on the other hand were not fresh either... A pity not to use all these beautiful products that are available locally. Staff not very friendly.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent little restaurant facing the sea. The service is impeccable the main waitress is so nice and the owner so nice !! This place became our favorite restaurant during our stay in Seychelles. The food is so good! A pure treat. This is one of the only establishments to offer grilled whole fish, not like the rest that offers fish in fillets. We feasted on the classic braised red city accompanied by a delicious Creole sauce and the inevitable grated papaya. And what about their Mojito ?? I still have the water in my mouth just to rethink. The notice in the parking relative to the customers made us laugh every time my husband and me. Very nice memories that we keep of this beautiful place. (Original) Excellent petit restaurant situé face à la mer. Le service est impeccable la serveuse principale est tellement gentille et la propriétaire si agréable !! Ce lieu était devenue notre resto préférée durant la durée de notre séjour aux Seychelles. La cuisine y est si bonne ! Un pur régal. C'est l'un de seuls établissements a proposer des poissons entière grillés, pas comme le reste qui propose plutôt du poisson en filets. Nous nous sommes régalés avec de la ville classique et rouge braisés et accompagnés d'une délicieuse sauce créole sans oublier l'incontournable papaye râpée. Et que dire de leurs Mojito?? J'en ai encore l'eau à la bouche rien que d'y repenser. La notice au parking relative aux clients nous faisait rigoler a chaque fois mon mari et moi. De très beaux souvenirs que nous gardons de ce bel endroit.

    La Gaulette was our first option after arriving in Mahe. Great creole cuisine. I recommend this place to try some delicious octopus curry or red snapper (was catch of the day).

    Great little beach side restaurant. Run by a group of ladies, friendly service, delicious food. The full grilled fish is the best and a great deal compared to other places on the Island! During peak hours it can take a while for food but it is a small place, so don’t expect some giant industrial kitchen. Just order another drink and chill. It’s a boutique beach side restaurant and our favorite place! Have been there 5+ times. Love it.

    Take in consideration that mondays are closed. It was a great nearby alternative for us, they have good selection at fair prices, everything smells & looks great but i was in love with their fish soup. They have a small parking but if not available, you can park across the street.

    (Translated by Google) We were there for the first time yesterday and will definitely go again. The owner is very friendly, as is the service. My partner raves about the red snapper (actually I'm not a fish eater, but I tried it and found it delicious), I had the burger and it was great too. We were surrounded by satisfied regulars who recommended what to eat next. Great view, you can hear the noise more when eating. Fullest recommendation. (Original) Wir waren dort gestern zum ersten Mal und werden definitiv wieder hingehen. Die Besitzerin ist sehr freundlich, ebenso der Service. Mein Partner schwärmt von dem Red Snapper (eigentlich bin ich keine Fisch-Esserin, aber ich habe ihn probiert und fand ihn köstlich), ich hatte den Burger und auch der war große Klasse. Wir waren umgeben von zufriedenen Stammgästen, die uns empfahlen, was wir als nächstes essen sollten. Toller Ausblick, man hört beim Essen das mehr rauschen. Vollste Empfehlung.

    We stopped here by chance and did not regret it. The restaurant is just opposite a beatiful, quiet beach. We ordered fish curry and ginger crab: both dishes were delicious and copious. I also had a cocktail (Gaulette sundowner) which was also very good. The service was welcoming and friendly. I recommend. We ended the day on the beach just in front: a perfect ending

😠 Really wouldn't bother with this place. Massively overpriced for what you get and manager is extremely rude. Would have rated as no stars if I could have done. There are plenty of other restaurants serving creole food - I'd go to one of them rather than here again.
