Café del Mar
Restaurante Café Del Mar
A beachside restaurant at the tip of the Ilha de Luanda peninsula, run for over 25 years, with direct beach access and well-loved grilled fish, octopus and seafood rice.
Café del Mar sits at the very tip of the Ilha de Luanda peninsula and has been a seaside institution for more than 25 years. The original building was destroyed by waves in 2014 and rebuilt in 2016. It has beach access, a children's play area and a VIP lounge, and next door is the newly opened Coco Beach beach club. The menu blends Angolan and international flavours. Reviewers recommend the grilled fish and octopus, and there is also seafood rice, grilled cod and wood-fired pizza. A daily set menu of starter, main course and dessert is available, and the wine list leans toward Portuguese wines. Expect to spend roughly US$30–50 per person. Weekend sunsets draw crowds, so book ahead.
