Dining by the River Gambia

Dining by the River Gambia

Fresh seafood, Gambian favourites, sunset dinners and private group dining on the island.

Food tastes better when you arrive by boat.

Our restaurant sits at the heart of Baobab Island, offering a dining experience defined by its calm riverside setting. We focus on what The Gambia does best — fresh fish caught daily, fragrant rice dishes, and garden-fresh vegetables.

Whether you join us for a sunlit day trip lunch under the trees or a candlelit sunset dinner over the water, every meal is prepared to order with care and tradition.
