Sunday, 25th May '08 - Costa do Sol Restaurant

Costa do Sol is one of the most famous restaurants in Maputo and the full house and buzzing atmosphere for Sunday lunch pay homage to that. Costa do Sol is popular with locals, expats and tourists alike and they arrive with all the family to soak up the sea breeze and the delicious seafood and chicken on offer. The service was excellent with plenty waiting staff to see to your needs, the food was all very good, the chicken was the hit of the day but nothing was below par. The boys entertained everyone by drinking 'giraffes' of 2M which is a long 3L draught of beer on tap that they bring to the table - a great one for the touristas! The wine of the day was Boschendal Blanc de Blanc which was lovely. We had starters, mains and desserts and drinks of course for 600mts per person - not too bad. The restaurant also overlooks the beach and Xefina Island so it is definately worth a visit and we would recommend lunchtime on the weekends as the view lends a lot to the atmosphere at Costa do Sol.
