Supermarkets and mini-markets Seychelles

When Gregoire opened this first "big" air-conditioned supermarket in 2003, the people of Diguette nicknamed it the "little Dubai". The excitement of the beginning quickly faded away and the supermarket changed hands, but it has nonetheless become an institution. From shoes to tracksuits and from pressure cookers to gym equipment, including coconut brooms, a melting pot of items that some of us would have trouble finding in Mahé! As far as food is concerned, the choice is also (relatively) large and the drinks are always fresh.

Class, resolutely class, this supermarket of Mahé, opened by a South African businessman who operates a chain of shops in Dubai. On two levels, the rays are there, well filled and the products well presented. The freezers are full and the meat for once does not give you a craving for vegetables. On the other hand, there's a lot of fun, but at high prices. If the most common products are displayed at a current price, the exclusive ones are paid (Vache rit, Eau Water…)! There is also a nice choice of breads and an entire Rayon chocolate radius, this Super-chic Super Save is of course air-conditioned.

A mall? Not exactly! But this little self-service outlet adjacent to the Hindu temple has the advantage of being open on Sunday mornings. There are many spices made in India. On the shelves, too, sometimes you'll find the famous Kraft Cheddar cheese in its blue box, perfect for quenching a craving when you're wandering around in the deep Mahé, or chilled cans and bottles for when it's hot. There's also the emblematic zig broom, this coconut stem broom, for about 50 SR: one of the few cheap souvenirs from the Seychelles.

The best supermarket in the Côte d'Or area is here. You will find everything you need if you stay in self-catering, apart from alcohol (you can buy some in the two other small supermarkets in the village). The good plan? Take advantage of the excellent meat, fish or vegetable fritters that sell a handful of rupees as lunch approaches. Attention, first come, first served! Otherwise, a food-truck offers a few take-away trays and burgers at low prices at the entrance of the village.
