Fatboys Resort Overwater Bar
Fatboys Resort
An overwater bar built on a reef, at the end of a walkway about 100 meters from shore. It is the best-known place in the Gizo area for a meal and a beer.
The restaurant and bar sit at the end of a private walkway at Mbabanga Island Resort. The walkway extends about 100 meters over the reef, so guests can watch tropical fish below while they eat, and sometimes see sharks being fed at night. The menu focuses on all-day breakfast, coffee, smoothies and fresh seafood. The signature dish is fresh lobster pan-fried with lime and butter. The bar serves local drinks and house cocktails. Lunch is served every day, and dinner must be booked in advance. Getting there from Gizo town takes about 15 minutes by boat. Guests need to arrange transfers with the resort, which cost about AU$25 per person round trip. Prices are mid-to-high.
