Mahe cuisine is originated from English, French and Creole cooking traditions. Fish and seafood dishes are the base of the locals’ diet, plus rice is considered to be the most popular side dish.

However, immersing oneself into the local cuisine would actually help to get to know Seychelles way of living. So, as you go to a restaurant, remember that you have to order your food until 10 p.m. The reason is quite simple – cooks work until 10 this time even if a place is open till midnight.

Moving around in Seychelles - transportation

Most tourists prefer to rent cars. However, such a pleasure is not available on all islands. On some, there is not even a primitive dirt road for a car, and the terrain is so complex that even a powerful jeep cannot cope. On the islands where there are asphalted or unpaved roads, it is quite possible to rent a car. It should be taken into account that movement in the country is left-sided and the roads are extremely narrow and winding and they rise up like a serpentine. You are permitted to develop a speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour within the borders of the city. Outside the precinct of residential areas, you can drive at a speed of about 60 kilometers per hour. Although, the quality of the road surface rarely allows you to accelerate to such a speed. It is worth noting that the islands of Mahe and Praslin are also quite tough about refueling. There are only six petrol stations and they work only from early morning until 11 pm. Therefore, it is worth considering this fact when renting a car. … Open
