A west-coast institution near Port Glaud, famous for one of the finest views on Mahé. A beach bar and restaurant where fresh seafood meets a sweeping outlook over the bay.
The view that made its name
Del Place is one of the best-known restaurants on the west coast of Mahe, and for many diners the view alone is worth the drive. Perched above the water near Port Glaud, it looks out over the bay and its islands, and that sweeping, unbeatable outlook has made it a favourite for romantic dinners, anniversaries and special occasions for years. A beach bar sits alongside for a drink before or after the meal.
With more than a thousand reviews behind it, Del Place is a genuine local institution rather than a passing trend. People come for the setting, stay for the atmosphere, and return for the sense of occasion the place quietly delivers.
The food and the setting
The kitchen leans on fresh seafood and a mix of Creole and international dishes, served in a relaxed open-air setting that lets the view do much of the talking. It is the kind of place to arrive a little early, take a drink at the beach bar, and settle in as the west-coast light turns golden over the water.
It sits on the beautiful, green west coast within reach of Port Launay and Sauzier Waterfall, so it pairs naturally with a day exploring this quieter, more scenic side of the island. Booking ahead is sensible, especially for a table with the full view at sunset.

★★★★★An excellent restaurant, located right on the water (every now and then a wave splashes over you). Ideally arrive around sunset, though the place also has its own special charm at night. The dishes were outstanding — we…

Go for sunset and book in advance. The west-facing view over the bay is the whole point of Del Place, so an early drink at the beach bar and a table as the light turns golden is the way to do it.
