Memories Gastrobar
About This Spot
Memories Gastrobar in Maputo offers a quietly sophisticated escape where the ebb and flow of the ocean seems to lend a gentle rhythm to the evening. As you arrive, there’s an immediate sense of warmth—the soft glow of carefully placed lighting and a mindful layout that invites you to settle in, whether by the soothing outdoor breeze or within its intimate indoor corners. The pace here lingers thoughtfully, encouraging you to unwind and savor both your surroundings and the moments shared.
The atmosphere strikes a delicate balance between elegant and approachable, making it a welcoming spot for a variety of occasions—from a relaxed meal with friends to a quietly celebratory date night. Attentiveness from the team is easy to feel without ever feeling rushed, creating a space where genuine hospitality is part of the charm.
The culinary journey at Memories is as much about the textures and colors on your plate as it is about conviviality and discovery. You might find yourself savoring the tender interplay of surf and turf, or enjoying vibrant, fresh flavors brought to life in tacos or grilled seafood paired effortlessly with thoughtful cocktails. Desserts feel like a comforting pause, with something like a lemon cheesecake slice that delights quietly yet memorably.
The setting itself—overlooking the distant sea and accompanied by the soft Murmurs of conversation and clinking glasses—offers a sensorial cohesion that draws you out of the everyday and into the kind of evening you want to remember. It’s a place where every visit feels like a lived-in memory, stitched together by thoughtful details and moments of ease.

Memories is truly a gem that lives up to its name. From the moment you step in, the ambiance envelops you in a warm embrace, with just the right amount of dim lighting to set the mood. Opting to sit outside, we were greeted by attentive staff whose thoughtfulness added an extra layer of charm to the experience. Embarking on a culinary journey, we indulged in an array of delights. Starting with tantalizing tacos as appetizers, each bite was a burst of flavor. For the main course, the surf and turf and ribeye with chips stole the spotlight, showcasing the chef's expertise in crafting dishes that tantalize the taste buds. However, the star of the evening undoubtedly was the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Decadent, rich, and utterly irresistible, it was a symphony of flavors that left a lasting impression. Beyond the culinary delights, Memories offers an aesthetic haven perfect for capturing moments to cherish forever. Every corner of the restaurant is Instagram-worthy, making it not just a dining experience but a visual feast as well. Overall, Memories is a culinary journey that transcends mere dining. It's an unforgettable experience that lingers in your mind long after the last bite. If you're looking for a place that combines delectable cuisine, thoughtful service, and an ambiance that's nothing short of magical, look no further than Memories.

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!

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.

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.

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.
