Food And Drink

The Gambia offers some of the best food anywhere in West Africa, and one of the things we hear most frequently from people returning from The Gambia for the first time is just how good and how reasonably priced the food is – indeed it’s often a big part of the lure that draws people back to The Gambia time and time again.

Whether you fancy Gambian, Thai, Indian, Italian, Lebanese, Mexican or simply fine international cuisine you will always find something to tantalise your taste buds.

The meals tend to be based around local dishes of meat, vegetables or fish and generally served with a sauce such as mafay or domodah – all on a bed of the local staple, rice. You can also get a good variety of western-style meals as well and thanks to the thriving and multi-cultural nature of the resort areas there is a whole raft of international cuisines to choose from, and you could easily dine out in a different country every night of the week if you chose.
