Anse Volbert Beach Bar — Beach Bar / Creole, Praslin
The Anse Volbert Beach Bar is the simplest expression of Praslin dining — a thatched structure on the island's main beach with cold beer, fresh fish, and the Indian Ocean in every direction. It serves the beach's daily population of swimmers, snorkellers, and visitors with the direct hospitality that Seychellois culture provides naturally.
The grilled fish — whatever arrived from the reef that morning — is prepared over coals and served with coconut rice and pickled salad. The preparation is correct and the freshness is absolute.
Seybrew (the Seychelles national lager) is cold, available, and the appropriate accompaniment to everything. The fresh coconut water, from palms above the bar, is the non-alcoholic alternative and is equally correct.
The Côte d'Or beach at low tide, when the sand extends far into the warm Indian Ocean and the water is shallow and clear, is among the Seychelles' most pleasant beach environments. The bar provides the platform from which to experience it with maximum simplicity.
