Café des Arts
An upscale beachfront restaurant on Praslin's Côte d'Or, which Fodor's says may be the best on the island, known especially for seafood.
Set on the sand of Anse Volbert on Praslin's Côte d'Or, part of the Le Duc de Praslin hotel, the menu blends Mediterranean, Asian and Creole flavors. Fodor's recommends the lobster gratin with octopus and the tuna carpaccio. Other popular orders include grilled octopus, red snapper fillet, grilled lobster and a seafood platter. It has about 2,000 reviews on Tripadvisor, rated 4.4 to 4.5. The main complaints are high prices and average pizza. Expect to pay about €40–60 per person, one of the highest price brackets on the island. Book well ahead in high season, and driving yourself or taking a taxi is recommended.
