I only take the time to write this review because of my immense disappointment. My friends and I had a TERRIBLE experience at Memories. We arrived at about 8:30pm and asked for virgin cocktails. The waiter brought us cocktails with alcohol. Upon flagging this, we were then served what was believed to be virgin cocktails but this turned out to be some bland ceres juice like beverage. We conveyed our dissatisfaction a second time and the waiter decides on his own to bring what he believes is a virgin cocktail and not just some juice. In the end we were patient enough to sit through three attempts to get served the right drink. Finally at 10pm(an hour and half later) our food it arrives. My question is, did we order the wrong food? Were we just unlucky? Because the food was strangely bland, tasteless, badly presented and really tasted bad. I am really trying to find a way to be kind as I write this but its a tug of war between honesty and giving a chance to someone running a business. Honestly there is no nice way to say that food was mediocre. We ordered the french fries with feta; they were soggy and drenched in oil and less than averagely plated. The los Tacos with shrimp; well they decided to instead replace the shrimp with RAW chicken. In all of my vegetarian life, and all the mistakes that a chef can make, I have never been served raw chicken, uncooked chicken! I thought it was a chunk of tuna cooked to rare. Please, uncooked chicken! how? Where on earth? And why really? Whatever you do, do not order the Arancini memories, very bland and weird. The Crab salad; the only suitable description is a really "bad word " and I will leave it at that. But maybe the picture below can somehow convey the word I dare not to use just because I am trying to not be destructive even though we were badly served! We had no condiments, salt or pepper to try and attenuate this horrible experience. All I can say is I have bad memories and will not be going back there at all. It's very unfair to be that negligent. I ate raw chicken for crying out loud! I wish I had taken pictures of the red flesh of the chicken chunks but they are in my tummy at the moment giving me diarrhea and nausea. We tried to eat because after two hours of waiting we were famished. But it was just too bad that we left with our empty tummies and a day later my tummy is doing gymnastics. Bad memories!

Great setting and the front of house staff seemed friendly but honestly some of the worst food I’ve had in Maputo. It has the prices and look of a good restaurant without the quality. My food came 10 minutes before my wife’s and everything on the plate was horribly overcooked. They kindly offered to change my plate when I said that the food was overcooked but then sent back the exact same dry, overdone steak with some more mushy vegetables and flaccid chips a few mins later! We had 2 starters and 2 mains and 3 out of 4 were really quite bad (the tuna tataki starter was good though). Would go back for a drink but the food at this place is not worth it.

  • Umar Farooq

Excellent food. A bit on the higher side when it comes to price but the quantity served was also larger then usual. Tried the grilled prawns with vegetables and french fries... delicious Also tried the lemon cheesecake which was also nice. Again, one serving for the cheesecake was enough for 2 adults.

Uma das melhores localizações em Maputo. Transformaram uma habitação em zona nobre num belo restaurante. Tem uma zona enorme no quintal, com vista para o mar. O estacionamento é algo improvisado no passeio, algo que não gosto. A comida estava boa, mas não espetacular, seguindo a tendência de caprichar no visual mais do que no sabor. Os mosquitos estragaram um pouco o clima de romance neste jantar. Talvez sejam atraídos pela grande variedade de plantas no jardim (ponto muito positivo, o jardim).

Memories has a phenomenal ambiance — one of the best in Maputo. You can feel the ocean breeze on your face with a view of the sea in the distance. Memories has exceptional service (for Moçambique) and the food is tasty. Elias, the owner, is, hands down, the #1 person working in hospitality in Maputo. He knows how to treat his guests and makes sure they have an excellent experience!

Very refined and pleasant place. "FANCY" in a positive way of the word. Excellent design, service, food quality, music and even prices are reasonable (for the level of the place). I was pleasantly surprised with wine prices… cheaper than in many other restaurants which are not even half as good as this one. Wine list with over 30 wines...and they claim to have it all ! Tried... was happy. Highly recommend location.

Great atmosphere, great food. But it seemed like they didn't have enough condiments for every table as the waiter would sometimes borrow from our table to another.

Staff is very friendly, but, should be faster in their service. Food is good, but a bit pricey. The mood and feel of the place is fantastic! It has a good selection of Wines and Whiskeys. Place is good for romantic dates or a meal with a big party.

O Lugar é Lindo, Apenas não gostei da maneira como tratam as pessoas, fui pra lá e para ter acesso não foi fácil, tive que ficar uma hora pra entrar ora porquê não tinha reserva senti me discriminado e etc, contudo espero que mudem isso que não procurem olhar pra pessoa e subestimar no todo nem.

  • Carlos Matola

Quando o restaurante fica cheio não há uma coordenação entre a gerência e os garçons para atender ao pedido dos clientes, tirando isso a comida é muito boa e um bom ambiente

Super loud, people need to talk amongst each other, not yell. They are also located in a residence area, poor people living around them have to suffer through that. Lower the volume and make it so people can be there comfortably.
