Café del Mar

In a nutshell: the best place in Ilha for the past 25 years. The pros : superb location on the beach, offers both lounge areas and dining areas, as well as play area for children. Great attention to details for the decoration. Excellent service and delicious food. Despite the busy time, the numerous staff are always present and food is delivered quickly and without errors. The cons : parking is always a challenge, despite the assistance of the restaurant’s security staff to assist patrons with parking.

A beautiful premium beach restaurant in Luanda. Amazing sunset view with cold beers or a glass of wine. Grilled prawn was very good.

Already known as one of the best restaurants in town, location (sea view), quality of services, quality of food, price (I was actually surprised that the prices are actually competitive considering the place and its status). My filet mignon was well seasoned, the right doneness, the waiters a bit confused but very helpful, the seafront view makes it all worth it.

The service was very nice and the waiters very attentive. The grilled octopus was simply the best I have ever had. The atmosphere was pleasant and the music wasn’t too loud. Beautiful view too! Will come back for sure.

Wonderful setting and atmosphere. Sounds of the waves while having a good meal is always a winner. On the beach, tranquil colours and inviting ambience. Service is good, it may get rowdy with a heavy influx of people at times. Often there may be tables bunched so consider this if not your fancy and opt for the tables closer, bigger and more adapt/next to the beach. Food is very good, nice selections with good presentations. Certainly a place you will want to give a go. Parking might be tricky especially when busy (safety outside a factor too) once in its cocooned and peaceful. PS: try the interesting desserts too 🇦🇴🥘
