Cantinho do Aziz

Alfama, Castelo & Graça


Hidden away in a narrow alleyway in the culturally diverse quarter of Mouraria, festive Cantinho do Aziz gets top marks for excellent Mozambican cuisine. When you can't stomach any more sardine or bacalhau, head here for highly recommended pulao do cabrito (curried goat), chacuti de cabrito (goat in dark coconut sauce) or makoufe (shrimp and crab curry with peanut and coconut rice).

Wash it down with Mozambican beers (Laurentina, 2M) and to cool off the fiery Sacana ('bastard') hot sauce.
