Customer Reviews
Great place to eat fish. We had 4 different choices and everything was very good. Great service. Sunday chicken pasta soup was delicious 😋
A local favorite for Portuguese cuisine. Excellent service and good selection of food. Every day there are the daily specials! In the weekend it is nicely packed for lunch/brunch with locals and expats alike. Highly recommended!
I have tried cuttle fish, bitoque and picanha and all were really good. The food is pricey but its Luanda so you expect it.
I have been last month in November 2017 to this restaurant during a saturday, and the service was the worst you can get. I was about to order a take away and I was kept waiting for 15 min standing in the cashier just to make the payment( which I haven’t made) and no one before me in queue. They were all running and confused, the managers treating the workers in a very bad manners, so I just gave up after 15 min for payment,and went to another place.
