Just the thought of an al fresco, Middle Eastern banquet makes our senses tingle with excitement. As a result, Olive Leaf is a winner in our books. When the weather is fine, fragrant, vegetarian dishes such as shakshouka and eggplant adorned with pomegranate seeds, collect as you admire the surrounding leaves and vines. Brunches and cooking classes pop up every so often, so keep an eye on the Facebook page for news of the latest additions to the schedule. Please note that, as a private kitchen, Olive Kitchen requires forward planning and a reservation.
Just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the ferry pier, The Island Bar is a firm Localiiz favourite, with seafront seating making it both family and dog-friendly. Quiz night falls on the last Thursday of every month, and live music fills the cosy venue on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Plus, on $20 Tuesdays all beers, house spirits, and mixers will set you back just one 20 dollar note! Of course, it’s always Happy Hour at this Lamma local anyway, with beer, wine, and Prosecco checking in at under $40 per glass all day, every day.
Relatively new to the Lamma scene, The Blue Goose Tavern is another restaurant with an unassuming shop front and beautiful terrace. Whether you’re on the hunt for a Full English Breakfast on the seafront or a stacked, meaty burger, this ex-Wan Chai establishment will fill you up, no problem.
