Where to Eat in Brufut: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Brufut, The Gambia is a town located in the Western Division of the Gambia. The town of Brufut is situated a couple of kilometres inland from the coastal road, but the name Brufut is applied to an area extending from around the town, out to the coast. It has a main street with a market, and some government offices, it is reached via a 'red' sandy unmade road from the coastal road, from Brusabi on one side to Ghana Town on the other side. The area is a fast developing location because of its highly developed infra structure. It is easy to reach from the capital, Banjul, the economic centre, Serrekunda, and the tourist area of the Sennegambia Strip by the AU Coastal Highway from the turntable in Brusabi going towards Tanjii and situated on a slight hill giving direct views to the unspoiled sandy beaches and the Atlantic Ocean.

Livening up Kotu, this is a great outdoor spot to enjoy genuine Gambian food. The menu includes dishes from the Woloff, Mandinka, Fula, Serreh and Aku tribes. Our special Sunday buffet includes interesting dishes not normally found in restaurants. The Jola dance troup entertainment is really good fun.

We had a reasonably good meal here - food is traditional and tasted good, and the restaurant is small but traditional looking with outside Seating areas. We also had a group playing the African drums while we were eating. There are better restaurants in the Kotu area, but this restaurant isn't bad for what it is.

We walked here along the beach from Bijilo, having read about the place online. Handy location right by the monkey park, comfy sunbeds, lovely sea breeze, great spot to spend the day, which a lot of people staying in hotels in Kiloli and Senegambia do, as the Beaches there are not so good.

A return visit with a group of UK students. The monkeys are a great attraction but will steal food at the earliest opportunity. Worthy of a relaxing afternoon visit for a few beers and a snack. Local wildlife abounds..

This is a little piece of heaven - lovely relaxed bar right on the beach away from the madding crowd. Fish is cooked straight from the sea upon request on the barbeque and cool beers and soft drinks available. The ultimate place to chill out.

I had a lot of laughs at this bar with Bob Marley and His friends! We spoke about the world and life and played the bongo drums. They showed me a good time like true gentlemen.

Macdomoro is a fusion between Sweden and Gambia, being run and owned by a gambian swedish couple. The swedish influence is mainly visible in good and quite fast service. All the rest is gambian.
Nice food, good atmosphere, and when the local music groups start playing, both tourist and locals are filling the dance floor that is not really there. A good place for a night out, either you like to drink, eat or dance.

The restaurant of Leo's Beach Hotel offers drinks and food from 8 am until 10pm in fantastic surroundings. With a beautiful view at the well-mentained garden and pool area you can enjoy high-quality, mediterranean delights.
Reviewed By Andrew M - Chichester, United Kingdom
During the season, I'm told the restaurant tends to be full because residents dine there - so do book ahead. The menu is a very interesting mix, and the chefs experienced and skillful. The ambience is superb, too. I won't drone on about individual dishes etc - drive to Leo's, relax and you will be so glad you made the trip.
