19:30 – 23:00 Dinner and drinks at Bampot Kitchen and Bar
Bampot stormed the island’s dining scene with its refreshing concept of casual yet quality dining in a contemporary, urban space. We cannot recommend anything in particular on the menu because it all tastes great and constantly evolves. After dinner stay for drinks – Bampot’s mixologist is sort of a magician and the restaurant has a fantastic, lively vibe.
