Mozambique Travel Guide - Going Out

Images


 

 


Food and Drink

The cuisine is mainly Portuguese with Far Eastern influences. Restaurants are found in main towns and hotels.

National specialities:
• Piri-piri chicken (brushed with a spicy chile sauce) and Zambesi chicken.
• Shellfish, including Delagoa Bay prawns grilled with piri-piri sauce.
• Matapa (sauce of ground peanuts and cassava leaves) with rice.
• Wusa (stiff maize porridge).

Tipping: Not generally expected outside Maputo. In Maputo and other tourist-exposed areas, around 5% of the bill is normal (depending on standards of service and the place itself).

Nightlife

Maputo has a lively nightlife, particularly on weekends. Feira Popular is the main forum of evening activity with various bars and discos, some with live music. The style of music in clubs varies from typical Mozambican rhythms to Western pop music. Most major towns have cinemas.

Shopping

Special purchases include basketwork, reed mats, woodcarvings, masks, printed cloth and leather articles.

Shopping hours: Mon-Fri 0800-1230 and 1400-1730, Sat 0800-1800.
