La Gigolette
La Gigolette is the beach restaurant at Hotel L'Archipel, at Anse Gouvernement on the eastern end of Côte d'Or bay, Praslin. The hotel describes International and Creole dishes, with a buffet breakfast and à la carte lunch and dinner.
La Gigolette is one of two restaurants at Hotel L'Archipel. The hotel says it opens its large windows and terrace directly onto the beach, serves a buffet breakfast outdoors and offers à la carte lunch and dinner, with International and Creole dishes. Themed buffet nights with live music are held from time to time.
The hotel's themed nights include live seafood cooking on the beach, barbecues and a Creole night with a buffet of local food, live entertainment and, on occasion, a Moutya dance. The kitchen caters for special diets, makes picnic lunches, and will cook fish that guests catch themselves.
The hotel's other restaurant, La Feuille d'Or, is upstairs beside the bar and is used when the weather rules out eating outside.
