    I dont even remember the name of this restaurant...they are dotted along the coast, many of them. They are all good and inexpensive.

    Seafood platter, with lots of lemon butter, garlic and MILD peri-peri.

    I had so much calamari here that I will be able to go without it for a while. They have calamari as a starter, with fish, without fish whatever your heart desires.

    I found this restaurant much cheaper than the one at the hotel and the servings are enormous. After our first meal there I chose my meals from the starter menu. My children don't eat rice. So with their rice and the starter calamari I had a great meal. The rice is very tasty. It is made with veggies and some garlic. The price for a starter calamari is 75 000 meticais. R25 or $5.
    The calalmari and fish (this is enough for 2)
    is 160 000 , R53 or $8.

    My husband had prawn curry once and it was very tasty and well-priced.

    This restaurant is right next to the hotel with a nice seaview.

    It is quite popular with the locals and it filled up quickly after 19:00.

    The second time we went there all the waiters were running to hand us menus and to serve us. We found this a bit strange until we realised that the locals don't leave tips.

    We are used to a 10% tip in SA so we tipped the same amount there.

    We never experienced any bad service and the waiters were very grateful and couldn't thank us enough for the tips.

    What else but the calamari!!!

    I find hotel restaurants always a bit overpriced. This one follows the trend but the food is great.

    Breakfast includes everything you can think about.
    There are lots of fruit and even veggies if you don't want to give in to the pancakes, croissants, cream cakes, sausages and bacon.

    Dinner can be from the buffet or the menu.
    I found the salad (from the buffet) a bit expensive at $7.50. The complete buffet is $18 but too much for me.
    My husband and Rian found this a good option. They have no problem when it comes to food.

    I must say the salads are great. It included a lot of fish dishes.

    I have one difficult child when it comes to eating and seeing there were no pizzas and hamburgers on the menu he ended up with a plate of chips most of the time. The menu is not very child-friendly and if you have little ones it might be a problem finding something for them.

    I loved the salads. I had some new interesting dishes. One night they had a great tuna dish and mussels. The other night there were calamari and an amazing dish they made with aubergines. They also used a lot of chickpeas in their salads.

    It was very different from the saladbar at our local Spur where pasta and potatoes are the favourite ingredients for salads.

    Costa da Sol on the beach at the northern end of the City is still thriving:

    Coimbra was for Galinha Peri peri ;
    Hong Kong opposite the Market for fine cantonese meals;
    Laurentina Beer Hall for liver and giblet snacks accompanied by Black beer:
    Bambi for teas and late night snacks;
    Golden Dragon for chinese steaks and seafoods;

    what are the new In-Eateries ??

    • Piri-Piri is definetly the most famous restaurant in Maputo. It is very old (comes from the portuguese era)and not expensive for a foreign person.
    This is a very pleasant and coloured restaurant (the chairs and tables have different colours reminding the 60s). In the wall you can admire some handmade pictures of places of Maputo before the independence. If you prefer you can always have your meal outside, under the beautiful acacia trees.

    Here you can find grilled chicken with piri-piri (spicy chicken)and grilled mozambican shrimps. I surely advice you to try this and to taste the national beers (Laurentina, Manica and 2M).

  • Directions: Piri-piri is very well located. Everybody in Maputo knows it: 24 de Julho Avenue (Bairro da Polana).
