Restaurants in Seychelles are special, in particular the ones that have been established for many years and ply a trade in unique Creole or International cuisine.

We pride ourselves on fresh produce grown locally and seafood caught locally, and most of the smaller establishments have a very special and unique niche market of both local and international clientele who visit them for decades.

At the gastronomic delight known as Chez Plume, named after the late former owner who created the concept more than 25 years ago, we carry on his legacy with very specially prepared and imaginative local and international cuisine.

We provide a sumptuous full English Breakfast, followed by a choice of both a modern and a traditional menu of the finest locally caught seafood, fish & locally produced fruit and vegetables, for lunch and dinner.

We are famous for some of our signature dishes, ranging from Chouchoute Salad, a locally grown vegetable close to the family of the gourd, Aubergine Fritters, shark in a sauce of Combava, a locally grown citrus of the lime family, Crab Giraffe in Ginger, Curry of Crab Giraffe, Soup of Carcassaille, a famously rare local rock crab, and of course our iconic desserts of Passionfruit or Coconut Soufflé.

For the smaller members of each family, we cater to children with a unique menu of popular kids dishes, smoothies and milkshakes, all accompanied by a specially designed menu which they can spend time colouring with crayons during the meal.

We cater to groups as well, with a range of menus and food types for all tastes. We are able to tailor a menu with very exact specifications depending on your requirements, it’s just a matter of asking!

Classic Traditional Menu

The restaurant has existed for the last 25 years and is the legacy of Jean Claude Plumas, hence it is known as Chez Plume. Our famous traditional menu is what we are known for!

Along with the original chef, they created a menu with an enormous reputation. It is typical French Creole fare, with much the same dishes that have remained our specialties since the menu’s inception, and indeed they are timeless in both their simplicity and their exquisite taste.

Our Head Chef, Terence Bristol, and his amazing kitchen team, continue this traditional menu till today.

From boudin, a typical Creole sausage, right through the range of dishes to grilled local lobster, prawns and locally caught clams, there is something on the menu to suit every taste.

Starters range from simple salads of local produce such as chouchoute through to the more intense complexity of stuffed mussels, one can discover all the flavours of Seychelles at Chez Plume.

Amongst the fish we offer, you will find delicacies such as shark, red snapper, job and capitaine blanc or the white captain, served with its own unique passionfruit sauce and breadfruit croquettes.

We are also famous for our crab giraffe, which we prepare with a locally grown ginger, our mud crab caught locally and done with fresh chilli from our garden, and the ever present desserts of passionfruit or coconut souffle, something people travel a long distance to savour!

We open daily for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Sunday from 12.00. Last orders each evening are 20.30. We are closed to the public on Mondays, but guests at the Auberge can still choose to have dinner if they wish.

Modern Menu & Pizzas

In 2016 we created a modern and unique menu to supplement the original and traditional dinner menu at Chez Plume!

The modern menu is the brainchild of Chef Terence Bristol, a chef formerly from some of the best five star hotels and restaurants on Mahe & Praslin. With a wealth of unique experience, he has complemented the traditional menu with modern international and tasty delicacies.

The modern menu is an easy eating fare of salads such as traditional Caesar, local organic green, and of course the Greek. Pastas are simple but tasty, with a choice of locally available pasta served with a selection of accompanying sauces.

We always have a locally caught grilled whole fish, and we serve some more typical modern fare such as the home made Royale Burger, honey basted Pork Belly, Chicken Drumsticks with a unique and tasty orange zest sauce, and fresh Fish Carpaccio.

The modern menu is rounded out with various yummy desserts, including a crepe of the house, and our own version of a fruit platter, with fresh local fruits from around our area or our very own garden.

One of Chef Terence’s latest innovations is pizza. We now serve a range of beautiful, freshly made pizzas, including our signature pizza of slipper lobster & garlic along with all the typical favourites. Our list of extras is extensive, so we can create pizzas for all tastes. Contact us directly if you wish to know more about our lovely new pizza menu! Pizza is available to eat in the restaurant or to take away.

We open daily for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Sunday from 12.00. Last orders each evening are 20.30. We are closed to the public on Mondays, but guests at the Auberge can still choose to have dinner if they wish.

Groups & Buffet Dining

We cater to groups with a range of menus and food types for all tastes. We can cater with locally French Creole fare or international dishes, and a mix of anything in between!

We are able to tailor a menu to suit both budget and taste, with a variety of dishes from both the modern and traditional menus. You can choose from a huge range of flavours, from boudin. breadfruit and grilled red snapper to spicy octopus or crab curry, shark chutney & chilli mango salad, and select the appropriate mix of dishes to suit both the people you are entertaining as well as the budget you wish to spend on the occasion.

Groups can range from tables of 10 through to larger groups of up to around 90, which we can comfortably seat both in the restaurant and in the garden, weather permitting. For the larger groups, guests may supply their own wine & beverages with a corkage fee applied.

We offer a sumptuous buffet of local Creole food or other international fare for party groups, including themes and entertainment. We have a house band known as Michael Belle & Friends playing the relaxed sounds of the 70s and 80s, but we also source more individual musicians playing guitar and moving around the restaurant if your group wishes for something a little more laid back.
