We’re in Malawi!!!!!!!!! Coco’s is a cute cute place located in Area 10 in Lilongwe. The atmosphere is perfect and the food was good. The portions were not so good - literally for one person. But if you have a big appetite, then it’s a no no. If ever in Lilongwe, this is one place to visit. Just get your pockets ready.

Accommodated my vegan request by simply removing garlic aioli sauce from the buns of the veg burger. Fries were really good.

Food is always good 10/10. This time around had a spritzer that didn’t taste good at all unfortunately I can’t remember the name. All in all good spot.
