Probably the closest you will come to local food - they serve Domada, Benechin, Yassa - all given a European twist and served very well - also the Captain Fish with lime sauce is equally good - service is very friendly and good if not busy. The only downside - very loud live music comprising 90% drumming starts at about 9-ish - this may be attractive to some - but not if you have unimpaired hearing!!!

Went one night for evening meal and was left waiting for 15 mins and only then, after we had asked for service, did someone come. We decided to leave without ordering as there appeared to be a long delay, even though they were not busy. We went another evening and the service was again terrible and we noted other diners had simila problems Tried decided to give them a third chance, this time at breakfast time - it was ok but then again, we were the only people there!! Wouldn't go again unless they upped their gear!
8. John Raymond's Bar & Restaurant

In 1983 a Gambian fisherman called John Raymond decided to hang out his nets to dry and began a small beach bar on Kotu beach. It was built near to the family rice fields!This was the very first restaurant along Kotu beach, a matter of great pride to his family.The business thrived until in 2,000 John became ill and the business was sold to pay expenses. Sadly John passed away in 2003 but his family wanted to continue his dream. They began to raise funds to regain control of the restaurant until finally, in November 2,008, their dream was achieved and once again the Raymond family became owners of the John Raymond Restaurant.Sine then, John's daughter, Therese, son Peter and his cousin, Edu, have run the restaurant with other family members and friends.Their philosophy is a simple one, good food at reasonable prices and in this they excede.You can have breakfast, including a proper English fry up, lunch and dinner. They have everything from pizza, burgers to Gambian dishes such as Yassa and Domoda, along with other European dishes.The family share their good fortune with those less fortunate and local boys look after the site day and night.So, relax on the beach, enjoy the best home made pizza or pancakes for lunch, have a few Julbrew or baobab juices, relax, just chill out!This is a true Gambian success story, a dream that has gone on for 37 years. Long may it continue.The owners, Edu, Therese and Peter are usually around for a chat, except when Edu is organising a fishing trip with his brother, Victor, or an excursion.What an industrious family, I can't wait until next year to see them once more. Give them my love.

Good food, nice setting especially at the street site, were you can watch the senegambia life. (Be early) Only disadvantage the many âmusicâ guys asking for money after theâve obscured the view and spoil the area with there music. Recomended cocktail:Mojito.

I have visited Kotu very many times and although enjoyed a beer at the bar here, never actually eaten there before. We were persuaded to try the Wednesday night "all you can eat buffet" at 500dalasai and were amazed at how good the food was. So much so we ate there on 3 more occasions too. Give it a try, not the most appealing dining area but the foods good!Hi,I am so glad you enjoyed our food, especially our buffet night. We have been working on our new menu this season and are getting very positive feedback which is lovely for our chefs to see.

I have been coming to Gambia for a number of years with friends.On this occasion I was eating on my own and did not welcome the manager hugging me across the shoulder..too familiar for someone I've never met before.I ordered a chicken dish and the chicken was so tough I couldn't finish it.One place to avoid.

Solomon's Beach Bar is on the bach at Palma Riva road, fantastic fish cooked african style in addition to regular European food.
Reviewed By KGMtravelling
My husband and I visited Solomon's 4 or 5 times during our stay in Kotu. This is a friendly place with a great view. Drinks were served quickly. We ate here one night. I chose the Potato dish and my husband had a fish dish. Both meals were fantastic, but were a little slow arriving. We were given a complimentary garlic bread whilst we waited.We had great service from Buba, and also some fascinating conversation. Well worth a visit to Solomons

We ate at the Calypso four times and also visited for the live music on Sunday afternoon. If you are a guest at the Ocean Bay Hotel next door you will consider yourselves extremely fortunate to have such a fantastic restaurant on your doorstep. The food was delightful and the staff just lovely. Go once and I bet you'll go again.

We came here last friday. Its coming to the end of the season so it wasnt very busy but food was nice.My partner had some fish and i had vegetable stir fry which wad the only vegan option on the menu but i was pleased to have found something as i wasnt sure what the choices would be in gambia!!They had a power cut but this added to the gambian experience, it didnt last long and we had finished our meal but rhey brought over their phone with torch on it so we had some light.Would go back as its easy from kombo beach.
