LNL Revisited: Sonabrasa

LNL Revisited: Sonabrasa

It’s been four years since our last review of Sonabrasa, a Maianga neighborhood staple. We went there again some weeks ago and noticed just how much it’s changed. It now appears to cater to a more upmarket crowd and the outdoor patio area has been replaced with an enclosed room with tinted windows and air [...]

A Gruta

A Gruta

It’s one of Luanda’s oldest Chinese restaurants and owned by the same people who own Chez Wou, although A Gruta is rather hidden (perhaps that explains how empty it was). The decor in the two restaurants is nearly identical and even the staff uniforms are the same. We were seated immediately after entering, at a [...]

Churrascaria O Frango Caseiro

Churrascaria O Frango Caseiro

It’s a small, unassuming eatery – there’s not much to be said about it. It’s right next to O Vila on the Rua da Liga Nacional Africana, in Maculusso neighborhood. The food is your typical Portuguese-influenced cuisine but the menu is quite limited and people mainly go here for the pastries and the grilled chicken (churrasco). One [...]

LNL Revisited: Tambarino

LNL Revisited: Tambarino

We love Tambarino so much, we decided to revisit it…especially since our last review is from 2009. Finding this place is not so easy; it doesn’t really have any signs or anything to mark it as a restaurant. All there is an orangelike door on the side of the street, usually with a guard standing [...]

Who are we, what do we do, and why?

 

Quem somos, o que fazemos, e porquê?

 

We are a bunch of guys and gals, Angolan and foreign, living and working in the most vibrant of cities: Luanda! We are dedicated to discovering new and cool hang out places - those that no one else will tell you about - and giving you our honest, humble opinion. From the pretentious overpriced bars and restaurants on Ilha; to that charming little garden restaurant inside the Fortaleza: if they serve food and drinks, we are there to review it!

 

Somos um grupo de homens e mulheres, angolanos e estrangeiros, apaixonados pela restauração, a viver e a trabalhar nesta cidade maluca: Luanda! Gostamos de explorar a cidade para descobrirmos novos sítios para relaxarmos – desde os lugares mais escondidos ou recém-abertos, aos sítios mais conhecidos – e dar-vos a nossa opinião humilde e honesta acerca deles. Desde os pretenciosos e caríssimos bares e clubes da Ilha ao pequeno e requintado restaurante dentro da Fortaleza: se servem kitutes e bebidas, estaremos lá para provar!
