It's a vibe just like the name suggests. It's centrally located so it's easy to acces Shela, old town, Manda and other places from the bar.They also serve delicious meals and they are quote affordable compared to other places.

I enjoyed the floating back and forth experience as we waited for the food to be served. The shifting is quite peaceful and not as noticable even with low and high tide movements. They maintain a clean restaurant environment, very kid-friendly atmosphere and I hear there's a great night scene as well.We ate goat, white snapper, and broiler chicken meals and some fish samosas for that extra coastal palate. I liked that the food was not over salty or undercooked. There was a hint of lemon pepper, marinated very well with some umami flavors. Plus the meal stayed hot throughout the eating.Access to the restaurant is available via boat, dhow, or speedboat.

A very special place to take your dinner while watching the sunset from the sea.We were there on a Wednesday and were surprisingly the only guests. The service was warm and we enjoyed the time at the Floatingbar. Also the food was delicious - everyone of us was totally happy with their selection.Definitely a place to visit again. As far as I know there also happens amazing nights with music and dance.Keep up the work full of passion for what you do!

Unique floating restaurant with amazing ambience. Music is just right. The scenic view of Lamu town draped by a beautiful sunset in the background is just spectacular. They serve a delectable fresh grilled fish.
