OUR OPINION
Morningside, Durban
Located in the heart of Durban, Mozambik Morningside offers a tantalising journey through the flavours of Mozambique, right in the heart of the bustling city of Durban. Nestled in the vibrant suburb of Morningside, this restaurant promises an authentic Mozambican dining experience, and it does not disappoint.
For us it’s one of the best restaurants in Durban and its authentic Portuguese inspired flavours make every dish zing with flavour. It’s inspired by the Afro-Porto fusion cuisine of Mozambique. It proudly takes its place in the Durban Vibe where ethnicity, culture, art, business and cuisine merge to create our unique Durban lifestyle.
From the moment you step through the door, you are greeted with warm Mozambican hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere. The decor is inspired by the coastal charm of Mozambique, with wooden accents, earthy tones, and touches of blue reminiscent of the ocean. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual lunch with friends or a romantic dinner for two.
Mozambik Morningside takes pride in serving up traditional Mozambican dishes with a contemporary twist. Whether you’re a seafood lover vegetarian or a meat enthusiast, there’s something on the menu to satisfy every palate.
For starters, We highly recommend trying the Peri-peri Chicken Livers or the Grilled Calamari. Both dishes are bursting with flavour and are the perfect way to kick off your Mozambican culinary adventure.
For mains, the Prawn and Chicken Combo is a must-try. The succulent prawns are grilled to perfection and are served with tender chicken and your choice of sides. Marinated in their trademark Afro-Porto flavour, then flame grilled to perfection.
If you’re feeling adventurous, be sure to try the LM Prego roll – a Mozambican take on the classic Portuguese sandwich, filled with tender steak and a spicy peri-peri sauce. It’s our personal favourite and we are sure it will become your favourite too.
No meal at Mozambik Morningside is complete without trying one of their decadent desserts. The Chocolate Mousse served in a coconut shell is absolutely scrumptious but we also adore the Dom Pedro – a South African classic made with Amarula liqueur. It’s a favourite pülace of ours, and if you’re visiting a Durban attraction nearby, it’s a must visit.
Our final thoughts? Mozambik Morningside offers a truly memorable dining experience. With its delicious food, warm hospitality, and inviting atmosphere, it’s no wonder this restaurant is a firm favourite among locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re a seasoned seafood enthusiast or just looking to try something new, Mozambik Morningside is sure to impress. As one of the best restaurants in Durban, it does not disappoint.
