The vegetarian noodles were not actually noodles but spaghetti. The vegetables were just peppers and onion. That's all. The plate was not tasty and not salted at all.
Our kid took the bolognese pasta but there was no taste and it was very basic. Not really fantastic. We didn't test the pizzas but we will never go back during our stay in Tofo!
The owner was not sympathic. Looked like we disturbed him during the lunchtime. We had to pay for Wi-Fi and when we went to the cashier to pay he had no change.

A little at the edge of town, but worth the extra few hundred metres' walk. Tofo Tofo has a relaxed and comfortable, beach atmosphere. The menu was full of intriguing offerings but it was the special that had me. The Barracuda was heavenly. I don't usually enjoy fish, but this was meaty and flaky and delicately flavoured of coconut without being drowned in a gloopy sauce so common in restaurants in this area. They absolutely NAILED this fresh fish. I swear I was sitting at that table with tears in my eyes. It was beautiful. The staff were attentive without being intrusive and dinner was pleasant enough that I stuck around for a delightful dessert of moist coconut cake. What a great meal!

Turtle Cove Bar & Restaurant

Reviewed By TravelistaBelle - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Beautifully decorated in the style of a log cabin with a cozy lounge area and friendly staff.
Hot showers, outside BBQ and cooking facilities.
Yoga was well taught and refreshing, but expensive for Tofo (250 local money).
Far from the beach and the lively part of Tofo, but a beautiful resort for rest and relaxation.

My wife and I stayed here for diving and choose the stay and dive packages with peri peri divers. Great choice and the combination these two have made our trip. The rooms are clean spacious and super comfy. We especially liked the open air shower. They have a great pool which made for perfect relaxtion after a days diving, sipping cocktails to the sound of great music. There restaurant has some great options the highlight was the peri peri chicken. Ray and sisi are also super hosts. free collection and drop off to the diving center made the distance easily manageable. Defo recommend this place.

Nicely decorated, food was good but not exceptional and a bit on the expensive side of mid-range. Went a couple of times. The owner (i think?) Comes around sometimes to check on customers which is much appreciated. He seems friendly.

Branko's

Marinated seafood and meat grilled on the table, fresh seasonal pizzas - Mozambican spirit and vibrant spot just one minute walk from the beach.

Reviewed By SarahPoum - Neuchatel, Switzerland

The first time we came to Branko's the two waitresses were not sympathic at all, acting like we don't even exist. The restaurant was quite full but they could arrange to find a place. Finally we found a table by ourselves. We took two caïpirinhas, a pizza and the hot stone tuna and the two dishes were really delicious.
We came back the next day and the staff was friendlier, maybe because there were not too many people at this time... We took the hot stone squid and a pizza. They were also very good ! The marinade for the calamari was delicious and we strongly recommend. It is one of the best place to eat in Tofo in our opinion.

Another of the new bars on the street near the Tofo market. The restaurant offers an authentic Mozambique experience, with excellent Mozambique grilled chicken and loads of cheap, ice cold beer. Don't be in a rush when making your food order but it's definitely worth the wait.
