Del Place — Seychellois / Seafood, Victoria, Seychelles
Del Place sits within Victoria's Sir Selwyn Clarke Market — the central market whose fish section sells the morning's catch directly from the Seychelles fishing fleet. The restaurant is positioned to use this supply chain with maximum directness.
The fresh fish preparations here are the most current in Victoria — whatever the market provided that morning, prepared with the Creole techniques that the islands have developed for each species. Red snapper, parrotfish, grouper, and the seasonal catches arrive from the market stalls to the kitchen in minutes.
The market setting provides both the supply chain and the atmosphere — the sounds, smells, and activity of a working tropical market create a dining context that distinguishes Del Place from any room-based restaurant in Victoria.
The tropical fruit available from the adjacent market stalls — breadfruit, star apple, custard apple, and jackfruit — appears on the dessert menu with the freshness that proximity to the source provides.
