Fodor's Expert Review Dhow Café

Part art gallery, part high-end concept store, part chic lunch spot, this stylish café in a gorgeously restored house has a sweeping veranda overlooking gardens, a pool, and Maputo Bay. Settle into an armchair on the wooden deck or take a table on the veranda for a light Greek-style brunch or lunch: a meze platter for two, with a selection of cheeses, cold dips, olives, and charcuterie; a savory sandwich on a crusty baguette; warm spinach pie. Savor a cocktail, a crisp glass of Sauvignon Blanc, or dessert and a fine cup of coffee after browsing through the treasures gathered from all corners of the world—hand-hewn canoes, tables made from ancient doors, tribal jewelry, and superb artworks.
