A selection of strange salads, curried chicken and fish, braaied fish and pathetic desserts. Food is not labelled so you are not sure what you are eating and lighting is so bad you can't see what you are eating. No entertainment and staff look unhappy.

The food was excellent- the chefs there are really good. Service also was ok but not the best- the place was crowded and the waiters were a bit overstrained but friendly.

Food was average and a disappointment as we had heard its location was good and so was the food. The main road runs straight across the front. We were looking for good Creole curry and wished we hadn't!

We were disappointed with the service and food which was very average and over-priced! Nice location but compared to other venues we visited we would not recommend it especially if you are on a tight budget.

Boathouse is a classic creole restaurant and has a nice local buffet. But if you expect gourmet food it is not where you want to go.

Dirty tables, dirty cutlery, rude waiter, food over-fried and tasteless, Rum Punch was the worst drink I had the entire visit to the Seychelles. Did not understand, My hotel and rent car girls recommended this place but it was terrible
