The open kitchen is built around a large barbecue which constitutes the central element of the establishment. For a reasonable price, you can taste typical dishes such as chicken curry, fricassee de paneling, fresh fish of the day or the famous crab and rice. More than just culinary establishments, lolos are above all places of conviviality where it is good to get together.
