The Sushi Room
Seychelles
The Sushi Room at Raffles Seychelles connects Japanese preparation with locally caught fish. In this Praslin restaurant, snapper, jackfish, tuna and jobfish become nigiri, maki and sashimi, giving the surrounding waters a direct role in the menu. Chefs prepare sushi behind the bar in view of diners. Rich red and black colours, lanterns and traditional Japanese references create an intimate room where the preparation can be part of the occasion. Matcha mousse carries the Japanese theme into dessert. The drinks selection includes several types of sake and other Japanese specialities, allowing diners to explore pairings alongside the fish. The restaurant's distinctive appeal lies in the meeting of Seychelles seafood with the precision and variety of a sushi meal.
