Bendula Bar Restaurant
Bendula Bar & Restaurant
A small bar-restaurant popular with locals and travellers alike, with cold drinks at local prices and food cooked fresh to order.
A local bar-restaurant around Owen Street in the town centre, with a dining hall. Access Gambia says it stays open until 9 p.m. and serves cold drinks, Guinness and affordable meals. A local guide article recommends it as a first stop: drinks are always cold and charged at local prices, and owner Bakary is a familiar face in town, a good place to meet residents from all walks of life. The food is well regarded, but ingredients are bought after you order, so order before you get hungry. The menu is short and includes Gambian dishes and simple Western fare. Its Google rating is about 4.6.
