Oscars - The Bar & Grill

Top choice in Mahé


For fresh fish, grilled just the way it should be, Oscars is a terrific choice. There's grouper, sailfish, marlin and red snapper, but the best order is yellow-fin tuna seared, served rare and marinated in the house concoction of herbs and spices. Sidle up to the bar or, better still, occupy one of the garden tables with terrific coastal views.

Somewhat incongruously, they also do a handful of Thai dishes.
