Besides acting "as both a meeting point and a place to exchange ideas" for artists, travellers, intellectuals, locals and regulars, Café Camissa is also a nice place for snacks & beverages.
Click here to read my Café Camissa Tip about posted on Maputo's Things To Do.
Except for Mondays, the Camissa opens everyday from 10am until 9pm.
9pm is the official time to close but don't be surprise to find Café Camissa open 'til much later or wouldn't this be a place where Artists meet !!

You will find small African cafes in many places in and around Maputo. These cafes are cheap places to eat.
The T3 area is right outside Maputo. I was at a small cafe and had a T-bone steak, fresh bread and a beer. The cafe is located about 200 meter from the school yard in the centre of T3. The price was less than 100 metacais (4 USD).

Eating huge prawns seems to be the BIG reason for visiting Mozambique, and I was on my way to sample them in a restaurant on one of the main boulevards of the city. Much to my dismay, they had run out of this Mozambican jewel and I had to reconcile to eating calamari. Well done but nothing special. Yet the consolation prize was the enjoyable street life easily going by on a street with the remotely heroic name of Salvador Allende. The female street vendors were a bit at odds with the presumed staunch adherence to socialism but hey, the new shopping malls have totally crossed it over and the prawns there are more expensive than in mainstay capitalist countries. I guess this is one of the particularities of "one country - two systems" set up.

The Cinema area in Baixa is a modern shopping center for rich people. Right outside the shopping center you will find several small cafes, rastaurants and icecream bars. Expect to pay more than average.

As soon as you get out of the area where the concrete buildings ends, you will find a lot of small grocery stores where you will find all kinds of food. Coca Cola advertising is found all over Maputo.

Milano Grill House is a steakhouse with an African atmosphere. It's located in the intersection of Avenida 24 de Julho & Avenida Salvador Allende, right in the city centre. It's a good place to eat, but more expensive than average.

The Mimmo's is a pizzeria located in the intersection of Avenida 24 de Julho & Avenida Salvador Allende.
This is the place to go if you are afraid to try the local African restaurants. It's also a take away service.
The place is popular among the rich Mocambiqanos, and it is crowded during the nights. I liked the food, but I didn't like the atmosphere. It's more expensive here than average.

I have tried many different restaurants in and around Maputo.
If you like seafood, the best restaurant without any doubt is Costa do Sul. The seafood is very fresh, prices are reasonable even if you take a nice bottle of wine with it.
The restaurant is located some 6 km from the center of Maputo.
Favorite Dish: seafood platter: plentiful, fresh and cheap

As they describe this place, Mundo's - Restaurant, pub and everything. It is quite big and busy.
It is cheaper than the other restaurants I've mentioned and the food is good. The service is not as good as we had at any of the other restaurants.
Can get anything from pizza, seafood to burgers.
