popular nightclub Lovenut located in downtown Victoria , and the restaurants
are very visited.

12. The dishes in the Seychelles are largely influenced by the rich culture of the islands.
Creole cuisine,many dishes with seafood , stored in a variety of ways . The main treat is
a special kind of fish Red Snapper . Takamaka Dark Rum on the beach under a starry
sky,is the best way to end the day in the Seychelles. Characteristic of the Seychelles are
definitely spices,which are completely authentic and traditional souvenirs are "coco- de-
mer " and "sea walnut ",with homemade walnut trees. With this reason,coconut ("coco-
de-mer ") is due to the shape of the seal that will hit the publican in the passport at the
entrance to this country. Food is adapted to climates and is based on the abundance of
seafood,fish and vegetables and local Creole type or types of French cuisine,so guests
from our region should not be surprising combination of sweet taste kiselkastih
obtained portions (the place with the grill is good quality but mostly half done in
compared to our habits). Crab, tuna, shark fins are just some of the main ingredients of
the cuisine they claim to be one of the most exotic in the Indian Ocean.
