Where to eat International food in Watamu: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on International food in Watamu, Coast Province, Kenya. The delightful village of Watamu is an eco-tourist’s dream, lined with sandy white beaches and hotels dedicated to sustainable tourism. Watamu is a quick snorkel away from the Malindi Marine Reserve Park, and Turtle Beach is the ideal spot for a swim and a tanning session. The village proper features quaint Kenyan shopping stalls called dukas, where you can stock up with supplies. Make sure to visit the Gede Ruins, a mysterious and heavily overgrown 12th century Swahili village, and the beautifully fluttery Kipepeo Butterfly Project.

6. Pole Pole Fusion Restaurant Lounge Bar
Reviewed By Ian H
An upmarket local bar offering food & drink at reasonable prices. I have been aware of Pole Pole for many years. It used to be a very poor, dirty dive but since the latest owner has taken over he has spent a lot of money moving it up to European standards with clean toilets & state of the art lighting & sound systems. Now this venue is well worth a visit.

Lovely food and service with a great pool and bar to relax around after lunch. You arrive by boat and after a climb up the steps to the restaurant the views over the creek are wonderful. The only down side was the choice of music which was just played in a look over the entire meal but that can be easily rectified. The food though was amazing. You can also stay in bubble huts which look great fun.

The setting at the Ascot is really special, you are seated at private tables under "makutie" roofed structures surrounded by billowing cream curtains, this is without doubt our favourite restaurant in watamu. The service is always friendly, ask for Malingi, he is such a gentleman ! The pizza here is superb....no visit to Watamu would be complete without a visit or two or three to the Ascot for a Calzone and a Long cold Tusker beer. We have usually been lucky to coax one of the resident cats to our table, or have found a hedgehog scampering about the garden !Make sure you have sprayed with anti mozi spray the mosquitoes here are bad despite there being well placed "coils" under all the tables.

We had a great night here, excellent Mojito cocktails and plenty for the kids to do with the beach so close.After taking out order for seafood, the restaurant team went and bought it from the market, so it was as fresh as could be. Lobster, prawns, chicken all very well cooked and served.Thoroughly recommended.

I decided to have a cocktail on a Fri evening. Beautiful serene ambience providing efficient service by friendly staff. Whilst sipping a cocktail, I was served with fresh hot focaccia. Yummy... for mainI had a gnocchi formaggi - absolutely divine. The fresh creamy gnocchi just melted away in my mouth. I surely will come back for another evening out for cocktails & dinner! A must visit. Cheers Mario!

The location and view is to die for. The setting is great with tables right out at the beach (though one of the diners chairs sank into the sand and the diner fell). The food, especially the sea food, is really very good though the prawns should have been veined. It is a pity that all these positives are spoilt by the fact that the service is extremely horrible discriminatory. We are Kenyans, though of Indian origin. We ordered our meal, and pointed out that our table did not have sauces, seasonings and oil and vineager which we would need. These were promptly brought but no sooner a waitress came and took them away and put them on a table occupied by a caucasian family. We were amazing and found it shocking that a restaurant of that calibre should have only one set of sauces to share between all tables. The food came, got cold but there was no waiter in sight to bring back the bottles. I went looking for one and found the waitress who had taken them away and demanded the bottles back to which she flatly refused claiming that they were being used by other diners. I lost my temper and started to make a lot of noise upon which she came very angrily, picked the bottles and banged then down on our table at the same time telling me off that I was making a big deal over nothing!! At the end of the meal, when the bill came, I had been overcharged by two extra dishes that I had not ordered!!. I complained to Roberto (the owner) about the quality of service and he just laughed it off saying "we are in Kenya you know". I still fail to understand what he meant by that. And ideas??
