🍽 Lakeside cafe and grill📍 Nkhata Bay🇲🇼 Lake Malawi
Why eat here
A backpacker favourite hanging above Nkhata Bay, where hammocks, cold beers and grilled chambo fish make a long afternoon lunch easy.
Good to know
Reached by a steep path from the bay, so leave before dark; it is cash only and the kitchen serves in batches around meal times.
