    Located only 300m from the main road easy to reach by a wide sand road, this reataurant not only offers the best ice cream of Southern Gambia, but also has an exquisite a la carte menu carefully assembled by the owner, a Swedish chef with lots of experience in fine dining. Most extraordinary is the price setting that is even slightly below other local restaurants offering far less quality. I would like to recommend the latest menu addition, the BBQ chicken plate, and as well the Swedish Kjotbullar (meatballs) in case you are sick and tired of Gambian rice dishes. My congrats to Oliver and his local staff for a job well done. Pedro M.J. Wyns January 2020

    Really good food in a surpricing calm and green enviroment at the back of the house, that is situated at the road down to seaside. Try it some time, when going back from the beach - I believe that you will as content as me.

    Well where do I start? I travelled to The Gambia with my son, he was working on a project for his university dissertation. We were there for three weeks and I think we ate there for two and a half out of the three weeks! We found this gorgeous little restaurant off the beaten track, down a dusty little Road! It's full of life, spirit and great conversation! Every guest is welcomed, entertained and well looked after! Whether it's the owner Oliver, the cook Mumma or waitresses maimuna and Fatu, everyone is treated as 'that' special guest! The food is wonderful, cooked with love and happiness - you can hear them joking in the kitchen together. 🙏🏽 And if you're lucky enough to taste some of Christina's (Oliver's wife's) desserts don't miss the chance! Whether you're wanting a moment to get out of the sun and read one of their books in the library or looking for a cosy quiet night together, an exciting meeting with friends or even if you're alone - go along and find out for yourself; you'll leave with a smile and be going back for more!!!

    There is nothing not to like! The restaurant/bar is located in a wonderful garden, and I felt I was dining in The Gambia. Friendly and fun Chef and staff offers a wide selection of local as well as international (including vegetarian) dishes. I had my best meals in this restaurant while in The Gambia. I tried local dishes as well as international, and I was satisfied with them all. The lovely Swedish/English couple that manage this pearl of restaurants, have an extensive experience as restaurant owners in Sweden, so I noticed the high restaurant standards that I afterall am used to and appreciate. It was not unusual to see Oliver (who runs the restaurant) peeling potatoes in the kitchen with a big smile on his face, interacting and joking with his staff and then the next moment, floating among the tables making sure we were all enjoying our dinner. I saw him drive his staff home at night to make sure they got home safe. It matters. All these little things, but they all adds upp to the taste of that great drink and food on the plate ... I’ll Be Back 😎

👍👍 We visited here for 2 weeks with my young children. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms were lovely, spacious, cool, nothing too much trouble. Brikhama (sorry spelling!) works hard keeping the beach tidy. Food is lovely, my children enjoyed eating all the local fish dishes. There are...
