The main 'strip' on the coast around Kotu and Kololi is Senegambia road in Kololi.
Its about 2miles from Kotu, a 50 dalasi taxi ride (£1.10).
Its full of tourists, but the food is generally decent.
Theres a few bars and clubs down here too although we didnt venture.
Below is where we ate and my thoughts:
-African Queen - one of the better ones we ate at. Very busy. Good character and atmosphere. We had 1 starter (lovely calamari) and mains of chicken yassa and shrimp banniche, both local dishes and very tasty. We had 7 beers and the total bill came to 910dalasis, about £20.
-Ali Baba, on the corner where the road branches off. We had lunch here-they do lebonese food so i tried kerrah plate (200D). For the 2 of us with water, it was 360D (£8).
-Spanish restaurant (In between Paradiso and African queen - doesnt seem to have a name) - the menu has tapas and other spanish food.I had butter fish skewer which was nice. Total bill incl an expensive glass of (not great) white wine, was 575D (£14).
-JoJo's - down the side street off Senegambia - its more of a bar but they do do food although we just had a beer - its a bit more upmarket, a beer is 70D for a full draught pint. Nice atmosphere.
-Yasminas - the first restaurant on the right at the top of the road, was always busy so thought we'd try. i tried barracuda after a nice humous starter. WE had 4 beers and it all came to 810D (£18). Service was very quick and very friendly. one of the better ones.
-Palm beach hotel in Kotu - this is where we stayed so we ate here a few times. The Domoda (local dish like stew) is very nice. Pizza is good, chicken sandiches are good. Infact, the food is decent enough although slightly more than youd pay in a restaurant elsewhere.beer is 35D (for 300ml)
