About

A tiny beachfront gem near Kongo River where the prices beat the crowded resort restaurants and the kitchen will prep whatever you bring in from the market. The seafood platters are generous and fairly priced, though double-check your order matches what arrives.

    We ordered a platter that clearly included two lobsters, but only one and a half were served. What was even more unacceptable was that the restaurant replaced the missing portion with calamari without any prior notice or consultation. This lack of communication and respect for the customer was very unprofessional and left me feeling quite offended and disappointed.

    Amazing view of the ocean and great ambience but the food was horrible. The juice (boxed) was exorbitantly priced (more than 3 times the normal rate) and there were no cold sodas. We ordered a sea food platter and unfortunately had to rush home before the food was ready so we requested for it to be packed. We got home and found burnt lobster and barely edible fish - too tough. Only the octopus and calamari were good.

    Great meal and great service! We had dinner here on a quiet Sunday night on the beach. Beautiful fresh fish. Highly recommend!

    Seriously the best beach restaurant in the kongo river area. The resorts around are crowded, pricey and inconsistent in quality.. copacabana is tiny, cute, cheap, with great service even preparing foods on demand outside the menu offer.. only mornings are slow, coming for early morning coffee was a bad idea..

    Spent a lovely evening here watching the sea roll in and listening to the sound of the waves with a cool drink and fresh food! Amazing vibes and delicious food; I would recommend the calamari and the octopus. Wait was about 45 mins but we didn't mind at all as we just enjoyed chatting, the music and the view. Good prices. You may have cats and dogs watch you eat your fish but the staff said they're fed in the back so no need to sacrifice your own food! 😉
