Calypso Bar and Restaurant (Bakau)

This exceptional restaurant is set next to a crocodile pond (no worries — the crocks are all very well-behaved), in a natural environment where bird-watching and animal-spotting are easily done from where you're dining. Serves dishes of regional and international cuisine.

La Scala (Kololi)

Beyond doubt one of the best eateries in Senegambia, La Scala is a restaurant whose (comparatively) elevated pricing is more than justified — food quality is superb and the menu rather varied (order lobster a day in advance, however). To ensure being seated, remember to book in advance.
