With 10 restaurants and 12 bars, food and drink is a real focal point at Sherwood Exclusive Lara.

The main Fusions Restaurant lays on generous buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner with show‑cooking stations, international favourites and dedicated kids’ options. Around the pools and gardens you’ll find casual buffet spots like Gilbert Patisserie, Splash Restaurant and Sherfood for snacks, patisserie treats and light bites throughout the day.

Come evening, mix it up in the à la carte venues (reservations required; some may have a cover charge depending on your All Inclusive plan):

• Mama Cocha – international flavours with a stylish twist
• Selenge – refined grill dishes
• Turquoise – Turkish cuisine with meze, grills and local specialities

Bars range from the relaxed Dreams Lounge & Bar and Prime Lobby Bar to pool bars, beach bars and the late‑night Disco Bar. Coffee lovers are well looked-after at the garden Gilbert Patisserie and Sherfood Street Bar, while sports fans can catch the game at the Raw Bar.

Smart‑casual dress codes may apply in certain venues (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen at dinner). Reservations and opening dates/times can vary by season.
