A Popular dining spot for both Seychellois and tourists, the historic Marie-Antoinette Restaurant is one of the

oldest and most famous restaurants in Seychelles offering authentic Creole Seychellois food.

Originally opened in 1972, Marie-Antoinette boasts a rustic

charm, a relaxed atmosphere and a time-honored menu that has remained virtually unchanged since its doors first opened,

including batter-fried parrotfish, tuna steaks and chicken curries.

Located just above Victoria along the St. Louis road towards Beau Vallon, Marie-Antoinette is housed in a historic colonial

mansion well over 100 years old, and was home to Henry Morton Stanley, who gave rise to the popular quotation « Dr.

Livingstone, I presume? » While in Seychelles, Stanley stayed at the Marie-Antoinette, which he named

Livingstone Cottage.

Marie-Antoinette Restaurant is open from Mondays to Saturdays for

Lunch and Dinner, and also offers afternoon tea and ice-cream.
