Cafe des Arts sits directly on Cote d'Or beach in Seychelles, serving seafood and refined dishes with the sand and water just steps away. By day it is a relaxed beachfront dining spot; by evening it becomes a more formal restaurant with a changed atmosphere. The kitchen focuses on seafood, with options for vegetarian and vegan guests.

The attached Blue Octopus Bar mixes cocktails and shows live sports on a big screen. Three nights a week — Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays — DJs play music here, drawing a crowd for evening drinks. The restaurant is part of Le Duc de Praslin hotel complex, but operates as its own venue with distinct hours and service.

Tables are set close enough to the water that the sound of the beach is part of the meal. The kitchen serves from noon until ten at night, with snack platters available until eleven.
