The food here is fantastic and very well priced, the medallions I had were some of the best I’ve ever had! We went in the off season so the didn’t have as much food available however as it’s all fresh this is understandable. The staff are very friendly but did seem to struggle to understand our English accents. It is a lovely decorated restaurant.

Very friendly place with a welcoming Management/Owner. Don't miss it if passing by The Gambia. For more than 12 years now that I have known this wonderful place, I have always been more than satisfied of what it offers as food and atmosphere.

I love this place. Used to go there almost every Sunday for their brunch buffet when I visited The Gambia. It’s an amazing selection of dishes for only D450. I highly recommend this place. I think there’s a lunch buffet on Wednesday but I prefer the Sunday buffet over that. The Wednesday buffet doesn’t have a lot of variety to choose from.

One of the best experiences in The Gambia is The Butcher’s Shop! One of the stops of Mega Legend Cigar Week, the Butcher’s Shop was beautiful vibe with great service and outstanding food. The fact that you can smoke cigar was a huge plus. …

My first time at Butcher's was in 2012 with the angels (volunteers) of Yes We Can Read and it was magical as it was filled with inspiration, I still remember how delicious the food was which keeps getting better each time I visit.I recently tried The Butcher's Spicy Thai Steamed Captain fish. OMG! This was amazing and I love the way it was wrapped in banana leaves.You can't go wrong with the fillet pepper steak and the grilled chicken; the lime flavor is too much love.If you love chocolate you must try the chocolate malt pudding.Overall it's a beautiful place with a great atmosphere and very friendly staff.
