About

Fantastic beachside restaurant with spot-on service and food — fresh grilled fish and fish fingers are pure rich meat. Sitting with your feet in the sand makes for a lovely vibe, though beach vendors can approach.

    I ordered food from Mvureni Beach Bar for the first time today. For a short walking break, I chose the seafood salad, and it was so good that I will definitely come back.The service was very friendly and I felt comfortable.

    Everything was so delicious, fresh grilled fish , fish fingers which in fact were the pure rich meat of the fish. Vibe of the beach, sitting with your feet in the sand. We enjoyed every moment and came back the next day.

    The restaurant is in the beach which is fantastic and the service and food were spot on. Great people and beach watching. Hard to relax with the beach vendors approaching, but once they understood we weren’t buying goods from them they moved on quickly. We had a late lunch and a dinner here while staying nearby, it was an easy walk. Tables on the beach so you could sit and watch the ocean and the people. Affordable option, even with drinks.

    Great vibe at this beachfront restaurant with excellent service and surprisingly good food! Don't be put off by the fixtures and fittings, just enjoy the time with friendly locals. Will definitely go back.

    This is a nice spot to have a few drinks and chill. It’s always full and the service is good, some waiters are really lovely. However, the food is really not good. We have been told they specialise in seafood yet they don’t know how to cook it. We ordered octopus twice and both times it was so rubbery and overcooked it was inedible. Pasta “Alfredo” is completely unrelated to its name and it’s possibly the worst pasta I’ve ever had. It also comes with a salad? Fish is okay for the price. Seafood cocktail is a huge amount of mayo with a couple of prawns served in lettuce. Basically avoid food and enjoy the view with some drinks.
