Coqueiros Bar & Restaurant
Coqueiros Bar & Restaurante
One of Bissau's highest-rated Portuguese restaurants, known for oysters, fish and francesinha, a hearty Portuguese sandwich. Live music is common.
Located on Avenida da Unidade Africana beside the Mercado dos Coqueiros handicrafts market. A family-style bar-restaurant run by a Portuguese couple, serving traditional Portuguese food, seafood and vegetarian dishes. Diners especially recommend the francesinha, a Portuguese sandwich smothered in sauce that also comes with shrimp, while seasonal local oysters are well reviewed. There are also grilled fish, steak and affordable house wine. Live music several nights a week, often featuring local musicians and artists. Expect about 15,000 to 17,000 West African CFA francs per person; service is sometimes slow. No reservation needed for evenings. A walk from the city centre.
