Alamanda Inn

Yangon


In a quiet residential neighbourhood, this breezy open-air restaurant and bar under a covered patio is a relaxing place to put the cares of Yangon behind you. The house specialities are tagine and couscous, but it also does good steaks and sandwiches, and killer cocktails.

It's in the garden in front of the hotel of the same name.
