My wife and I had dinner at Vincent’s, one of the few restaurants in Lilongwe for fine dinning. The welcome was warm and professional and the ambiance relaxing. The mushroom soup I had for starters was superb and went very well with warm bread rolls. The spicy grilled fish I had for my main course was nicely done and combined well with the steamed veggies and mashed potatoes, and the dessert was equally delicious. The staff were all very courteous, helpful and professional. We were not disappointed with our evening out at the Vincent’s.

Grateful to my host for bringing me to this fine dinning place! Excellent ambient, delicious food. We had one of the ubiquitous power outages in Malawi, which shut the credit card machine temporarily: to be on the safe side, we ordered cheaper dishes. The chicken fillet was easily among the best I ever had. Yes, service was a bit slow later in the night but very knowledgeable and understanding. Not your average low-price dinning in Malawi, though. Expect to pay a bit more for the locale!Daer vini00, Thanks for taking the time to review your experience with us at Latitude 13 Degrees. We are glad that you enjoyed your meal - and the ambiance that we work so hard to create for our diners and guests. I'm sorry to hear that the credit card machine was down; I presume that this was the provider's issue, as we have a very large back up generator to ensure that the power cuts limit inconvenience flat by our patrons. We hope that we will be welcoming you back again soon, to try the new menus that we launched in mid-February. All the best!

I've been in Lilongwe for about 10 days so far, and have been to Lark at least 4 of those days. Yes, it is aimed at Westerners and the prices are higher than other places, but it is 1000% worth it. The food is creative, amazing and fresh, and the location is just wonderful. The shop has great gifts, and the cakes and bakery items are also incredible. I only wish it was open for dinner as well!Thank you so much for your wonderful review, it has made our day so happy! We love knowing that you enjoy your time at Lark and hope that it has made your arrival in Lilongwe a little easier! We look forward to welcoming you back here again soon.
