Fine dining can make all the difference to a holiday or hotel stay, and Naïade Resorts takes great pride in ensuring that their restaurants rival or even exceed the best.
Since May 2006, Stephane Jean has been Naïade Resorts’ Corporate Chef. He is a highly original and creative chef, who works with his colleagues to produce a fusion cuisine that highlights the best of world gastronomy.
The basis of his cuisine is resolutely French, but fused with touches of Indian spices and Asian cooking styles.
Naïade Resorts’ main restaurants specialise in themed buffets, to bring guests the flavours of the various cultures that have influenced the Indian Ocean region.
Indouchine at Beau Rivage is Naïade Resorts’ flagship restaurant. It shows superbly how French haute cuisine can integrate other flavours and particularly the saveurs des iles, island savours.
A la carte and beach restaurants offer mouth-watering seafood dishes, often a simple cuisine with Mediterranean touches.
Some bars and restaurants have special afternoon teas, in the best British, Chinese or Japanese tradition. |
