The food supply in Mozambique is seasonal, local, and often limited. Specialized food items and restaurant offerings exist due to imports from neighboring South Africa. A vegetarian or vegan lifestyle is possible but somewhat restricted in choice. Given the country’s poverty, many local dishes consist of rice with beans or rice with Matapa (similar to spinach). However, the food selection in Tofo remains diverse due to tourism. There are always vegetarian and vegan options available and there’s even a completely vegetarian restaurant with delicious dishes, salads and fresh fruits. Fish: Fish is locally caught here. Traditional fishermen paddle wooden boats far into the ocean and bring back their catch to Tofo, where it’s available on selected days at the small marketplace. To ensure the fish served in restaurants is not imported, inquire beforehand. Some specific types of fish are also kept frozen for tourists. Meat: Offerings include burgers and chicken. Classic beef or pork is less commonly found. Here’s a variety of flavors you can look forward to: Japanese & Sushi Indian Vegetarian/Vegan Asian Fusion Mozambican Italian South African Burgers Fish
