Tips / Destination

Maputo, for such a small city, has a surprisingly large array of quality restaurants. Whether you’re seeking excellent seafood or even just a good burger, the dining scene in this town won’t let you down.

Zambi

Zambi is one of the most highly rated restaurants in Maputo and the go-to spot for those wanting to chow down on some excellent fish. The prices here are a little high for the area, but you can save money by sampling the sushi buffet. The view from the outside patio alone is worth the visit.

Dhow

Dhow has one of the most charming atmospheres in Maputo, with epic views of the bay from within the restaurant’s garden, all while seated on traditional dhow boats transformed into sofas. The eatery is owned by a Greek couple, offering traditional foods with a local twist.

Piri Piri

As the name implies, this restaurant serves the city’s renowned piri piri chicken to perfection and has been doing so for a few decades now. If chicken is not your meal of choice, they also have an amazing selection of seafood offerings, like crab matapa, at an affordable price.

Kalus Esplanada

Kalus Esplanada is a local favorite known for its laidback atmosphere; there’s pool tables and an outdoor barbeque, along with some tasty local treats. They ask you to order your meats by size, then give you a hefty side of fries, or xima. It’s a wonderful place for a cheap bite while hanging out with locals.
