Bar and restaurant

Our bar and restaurant is right on the beach. Drift into a quiet morning with coffee at breakfast. At sunset, watch the colours unfold over the bay with a cold beer.

Choose from cold drinks, beer and spirits. For breakfast there is toast, pancakes, or a hot breakfast from a full monty to French toast. Our pizzas are known as the best on the island.

There are also local restaurants on Likoma with good, cheap food.

A Mango garden

Even with sandy soil, harsh sun, birds and bugs, the garden produces lettuce, rocket, basil, tomato, zucchini, herbs and more for the restaurant.

In October and November, five varieties of mango are in season. At the local markets we can usually find banana, papaya, lemons, avocados, aubergines, potatoes, onions and other seasonal fruit and vegetables.
