This is the small market I've been to so far. You'll find everything you need from food to souvenir. It's best to go on Saturday when all the stalls will be full. I'm happy I went during the week because I'm a little bit claustrophobic and having to many people makes me uncomfortable. So for people like me it's better to go on weekdays and for those who want to enjoy the busy market go on Saturday.

This is not like other Seychelles places that I've visited. May be this city has seen too many tourists. I found the people here are generally distant to tourists. I wouldn't go as far as saying they are not happy with this many tourists but I certainly felt they are untouched and don't care about the tourists. The city is not clean and very crowded. Taxi drivers are also not friendly to tourists. Everything has a monetary value and its all about business.

Nice market with a selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, and daily catch of fishes. Fish selection depends on the day, and the prices are affordable. You can also buy fish on all roads near the sea for cheaper prices. Vegetables, especially important, are pricy all over the Mahe island. The market is worth visiting. On near streets you can find some street food options as well.

You can buy fresh fish of different types, spices for cooking, vegetables, fruits. It's just a market. We took the fish at the same price, but in the end it turned out to be more expensive: the sellers did not warn us and did not announce the cost of cutting. It was a surprise, of course, in Russia they warn in advance about such things 🤷

Sir Selwyn Selwyn Clarke Market, but more widely as the Victoria Market is a great example of blending the old and new Seychellois way of life. It’s always been great place to buy local fruit, vegetables, spices and fish; a good sign of this is that it’s always busy with Seychellois doing their food shopping. The market is open between 4am-5pm, Monday to Saturday. Try to avoid Saturday if possible.
Parking in Victoria can be a bit of a nightmare, the best bet is to leave the car behind and either get a bus or a taxi in.

After nearly 2 weeks in Seychelles we checked out the market for souvenirs and fruit. Some unique clothes and carvings we saw nowhere else, but the small shops in the airport ended up being our favorite for what we were looking for. As to fruit, the bananas here are sweeter than any we've had anywhere but we didn't at all like the mangoes, papayas, or avocados.

It's beautiful market in the heart of the Victoria Mahe. Vegetables, fruits fish and few other shops including garments are available. Lot of local n tourists were found in the market. Rate of all the items were higher than the other shops in surrounding areas.

All of the local products are found in this market:
Clothes, souvenirs, vegetables, spices, food, and all you could think about, is there.
We visited it in a Friday morning, a few hours before our flight, looking for Safran, and we found much more there.
The people are very lovely, the smell of the spices is very good, the street food was very delicious, and the prices are very cheap.
Definitely don't miss the market when you're in Victoria.

It is an interesting place to see, the daily life of the people of Seychelles and even do some shopping on the top floor. There are stairs and there are some souvenir shops upstairs on the first floor. In the surrounding area there is also. It is very funny that in several stores we were taken to other stores that we had already been. It's like they go from one another!!. You can also buy some spices, tea..

Всем добрый день! Подскажите, пожалуйста, какие примерные цены на продукты на Маэ? Заранее благодарю!
Written 29 September 2016
Цены на продукты адекватные (не выше московских цен) как в Виктории, так и в местных маленьких магазинах (их за пределами города еще нужно найти). Цены на алкоголь выше, чем в дьюти фри, местами существенно, да и выбор намного хуже.
