Expect dishes such as local cucumber stew, papaya stew, stewed goat meat and fresh-caught fish. The dishes come accompanied by rice, fries, but most importantly, the local side dishes: Funchi and Tutu. Funchi is our version of the polenta, a common corn-meal dish and goes well with stews and fish. Tutu is a heartier, sweeter corn-meal dish made from black-eyed peas, this side dish goes particularly well with cod fish. The sweet and salty combination is sure to make your inner foodie rejoice. Feeling more adventurous? You cannot leave our beautiful island without trying perhaps one of our most controversial dishes, Guiambo.This Okra soup is as hearty as it gets, containing of course stewed okra and all types of fish and meat. Slimy and gooey in texture, we admit, it’s a bit challenging to eat. You either love it or you hate it…there’s only one way to find out!
