Seychelles is the world's most vegetarian country, new global vegetarian index shows

One of the hotels that provide healthy living in the Seychelles is Le Meridien Fisherman's Cove, located in Bel Ombre in the north of Mahe, the main island.

Julien Jacquin, the hotel's food and beverage manager, said: "We offer vegetarian options on all our menus and are also flexible in preparing a special dish for a guest according to their dietary needs.

Jacquin said that "it's really important to promote healthy living. We offer a salad bar and vegetable soup every day, among other things we do."

He added: "Our chef meets with the guest who is on a diet so they can discuss what they prefer. It's more of a personalised service."

Sony Antat, a food lover, said in conversation that Seychelles' fine dining experiences vary from restaurant to restaurant and that most of them serve vegetables at almost every meal.

The Global Vegetarian Index was created by Oliver's Travel to identify the most vegetarian countries, as October is World Vegetarian Month.
