Beautifully designed restaurant with a fanstasctic view. Food was a bit hit & miss – the grilled calamari with salsa verde was delicious, but the linefish (angelfish) was underwhelming for a restaurant that specialises in fish. They offer a good array of sides (you have a choice with your main course) and sauces to choose from, but the Mozambiquan peri-peri sauce lacked any punch. Our waiter tried hard, however he was clearly undertrained – it didn’t seem like he had tasted any of the dishes on the menu, and so couldn’t tell me if the prawn croquettes were any good. (They weren’t, incidentally – nice texture, but lacking in prawn flavour).
