The Fajara Garden Restaurant

The Fajara Garden Restaurant stands on 1st Street East in Fajara, on the Gambian coast. It keeps no website, so nothing here describes what comes out of the kitchen; the telephone number is the way to ask.

The name says it is a garden restaurant, and in this climate that is a practical distinction rather than a decorative one. The Gambian coast runs hot and, for half the year, humid; eating under trees rather than under a roof is the difference between a comfortable evening and an endured one, which is why the better-known places here are gardens.

The hours are long and start early: half past eight in the morning until midnight, six days a week, with Sunday beginning at eleven instead. There is no closing day and no break between services, so breakfast, a long lunch and a late dinner all happen at the same address.

Fajara lies between Bakau and Kololi, a little inland of the beach, and is one of the older residential quarters of the coastal strip — quieter than the Senegambia road and within a short taxi ride of it. Bijilo, with the forest park and the beach hotels, is a few kilometres south. Getting between them is done by shared taxi or by the green tourist taxis, and both are cheap; walking the coast road after dark is not the local habit.
