Smileys is a nice place to eat in Pedasi. It's an ex-pat hangout, as well. I had an excellent burger and fries but their menu is pretty varied. I loved the tables! They are made from local hardwoods and very pretty. Each top is made from 2 pieces of 16" wide planks! You can't find wood like that in the... More

Went spontaneous with 2 yr old. Lovely terrace, and garden to sit in. It was packed with gringos and locals. Anyway, they found us a table fast, and brought good fare. Tune was excellent, snapper, too. They started playing live blues around 8.30pm. Worth having a dinner there when round Pedasi. More

The food, drink, service, and entertainment were great. A very relaxed atmosphere of expats and locals here. Live entertainment on Tuesdays and Fridays, an impromptu jazz, rock & roll session. More

We went on a Tuesday night which is live music night. Very fun! John the owner played a couple of instruments and is a great MC. We also had lunch the next day. The food was very tasty. The only thing was that we were not served at the same time. I think that that with some training this can... More

The food is decent but fairly standard American fare. What makes this place good is the Friday night 5-piece rock band. The restaurant co-owner plays keyboards and sings, and there is a harmonica man or two. More

Smiley's is the center of all the exPat activity in Pedasi. Food is casual and the beer is always cold. Live music on Tuesday and Friday nights. More
