About The Bungalow
Food at The Bungalow
The kitchen serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, with vegetarian dishes on the menu. Reviewers name the chicken, chilli and mushroom peri-peri crepe, and a salad of Israeli couscous, olives, cucumber, tomato and hand-made falafel. Fresh juices such as the Immune Boost are another favourite. In the evenings the room turns to dinner and wine, with a bottle shelf above the bar. One reviewer found the lobster roll small for the price, so check portion sizes before ordering for a group.
