Although local Mozambican food often flies under the radar it is far from boring. From spicy curries to hearty stews and flavorful hot sauces the cuisine is essentially a historical footprint of the Bantu region with influences from Indian Persian Ethiopian and Arabic cuisines.

Ethiopian traders visited the country in the late Middle Ages and from the 16th century until 1975 Mozambique was a Portuguese colony which also left its mark on the local cuisine.

In Mozambique you will discover a variety of dishes made with fresh seafood and other tasty ingredients such as cassava (mandioca) leafy greens coconut tropical fruits and chicken or goat (for meat lovers). Most of these foods are grown through subsistence farming which means they are produced locally and are dependent on the climate of the region.
