Pandora's Basket
A locally run affordable & healthy-foods Liberian restaurant
Pandora's Basket is finally OPENING!!
In one month's time, on September 18th, Pandora's Basket will open on 11th Street landside, at the heart of Sinkor, Monrovia!
We will provide high quality restaurant and bar services; the menu will include a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Snacks, hot and cold beverages will be served from the early morning until late night. Vegetarian dishes will always be available.
We emphasize on the importance of the diversity in menus, seasonal delicacies, and enjoyable tasters’ events, such as “create your own menu”, “vote for your ‘dish of the week’”, in order to include our clients and invite them to voice their preferences.
Our core values:
QUALITY: in finding the best natural ingredients; ‘grow what you eat, eat what you grow’
TRANSPARENCY: because you deserve to know what you eat
SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURALISM: to involve the community, to inspire beyond the business
DIVERSITY: in meals, in staff, in activities
RESPECT: for our suppliers, customers, guests, partners
NON-DISCRIMINATION: open to all faces, from all places
PASSION: no giving up, and always smiling – we work to make it work!
Cooking our own vegetables
Liberia has an ideal climate for growing many crops such as pumpkin, cabbage, cucumber, collards, potato greens, corn, hot pepper and eggplant; and starches such as cassava, eddoes, sweet potatoes and yams. We will have an agreement with the local farmers around Monrovia; as we want to stay away from imported and frozen foods!
Fish and seafood
These are some of the dishes that have boosted the popularity of Pandora’s Basket. Working together with our local fisherman, we are able to provide crab and lobster ‘straight from the ocean’ into our customers’ plates. The incredible proximity of the sea and availability of so many kinds of fish and shellfish enable us to create a luxurious dish with all its ‘fancy’ ingredients, at a ridiculously affordable price!
Fresh Juices
In Liberia the variety of home-grown fruits include pineapple, watermelon, mango, banana, papaya, breadfruit, plantain and several citrus fruits such as orange, grapefruit, lemon and tangerine. Few restaurants are currently taking advantage of this opportunity while customers wish to be provided with fresh fruit juices. Pandora’s Basket will offer fresh juices and smoothies.
Ongoing renovation work...
A final boost!
After years of work, promotion, splendid evenings and events, it's happening!!!
(We all want to get a taste of that crab!)
