Lookal Mar Seafood Restaurant
Lookal Mar - Marisqueira
A high-end seafood restaurant on the Atlantic side of the Ilha de Luanda peninsula, long ranked near the top of Luanda's restaurant lists, known for fresh catches and charcoal-grilled prawns.
Lookal Mar opened in 2011 on the seafront of Murtala Mohamed Avenue on the Ilha de Luanda. Its open-air terrace faces the Atlantic, and its wood and bamboo décor gives it a beach-club feel. The menu centers on the day's catch, with signatures such as charcoal-grilled prawns, grouper stew and seafood feijoada (a Portuguese-style bean stew with seafood), along with Angolan classics such as moamba de galinha, plus a meat menu. It ranks near the top of TripAdvisor's Luanda listings, and weekend evenings call for advance booking. Prices are high, and it is about 15-20 minutes by taxi from downtown along the seafront avenue.
