We chose to eat out of our hotel one night and looked this restaurant up on trip advisor. Upon arrival it seemed nice and low key and it was busy giving the restaurant a nice atmosphere to enjoy dinner with the sound of the waves in the background. The prices were good and the wine we had previously in our... More

We booked a table for dinner at Cafe des Arts restaurant (I know it used to be part of the Duc de Praslin Hotel but it has recently changed owner so it may be owned independently) without thinking much about the type of the cuisine it served. The location and the setting - just by Cote D'Or beach - were... More

Food was slightly above average and certainly not the caliber I expected given the price point and attitude (definitely much snottier than what I care to deal with on a tropical island). Nothing wrong with it, but nothing to write home about either.

We have been at Cafe des Artes @ room Citronelle (which have been re-designed on December 2009 as all other rooms at CdA)..what can I say...there were nothing less than excellent. Metres from the most beautiful beach of Praslin, private, confortable, clean...stilish (great job made by Robert & Andrew Gee) and with a sensational staff. They have fulfill our requirement... More

We went twice in one week for dinner only to this restaurant owned in partnership with the Le Duc hotel (I believe). The service is absolutely impeccable: the manageress and staff could not have been more helpful. The food was very good indeed -- it specialises in fish, but also had a good selection of other meat dishes as well,... More

We went for dinner only. Service was excellent, and staff very helpful and friendly. Good menu selection, but found prices to be very high in comparison to similar establishments in the area. Being a beachfront independent restaurant I found the "long trousers recommended" advice for men to be somewhat unnecessary and pretentious, given that Praslin is a relaxed holiday island.... More

Fantastic decor. Very clean. Just on the beach. Best food in Seychelles. Expensive (like everything in the Country). Elegant and chic. Don't go there if you want to be casual.

Attitude is everything. My wife and I stayed here for one night, and took advantage of the semi-private "dinner on the beach". Perhaps we were still in awe over being in the Seychelles, or that our vacation was coming to an end -- but we absolutely loved this hotel. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The style said "you're... More

Our experience did not match the many enthusiastic descriptions we found on the web and which made us book at the Cafe des Arts. This little guesthouse is often described as 'charming', which may be true to the extent that the owner has very nicely decorated her own apartment, which serves as a sort of restaurant in the evenings. We... More
