We visited this local restaurant tonight and had a true authentic Mozambican meal which cost a lot less than the usual restaurants in Vilanculpus .. At first we were hesitant as it’s a rustic family home and different to anything we are used to in England. However we were welcomed with a smile and made to feel very comfortable from the start. We were shown the chalk board menu which had plenty of variety. Before long we had been cooked delicious food which was washed down with a cold local bottled beer. We would 100% recommend. making a visit here.

An authentic dip in Mozambican catering. A whole family welcomes you and offers you the best of their home cooking. No culinary pretensions but only a lot of authenticity combined with the usual deep kindness of the Mozambican people. The best French fries in Vilankulo.

Although we waited an hour for our food and it wasn’t what we were expecting, it’s top marks for the food, absolutely delicious! and cheap compared to r
prices around Vilanculos. Be prepared this is not a restaurant but someone cooking for foreigners from their home so if it’s authentic what you are looking for this is it

Food house run by local people. Maybe we didn't choose our dishes right, but for now it seemed like the most normal restaurant on our visit to Vinanculos. Grilled barracuda with potatoes 600. Pasta with tomato and shrimp 800, a large water 60 and a large met beer 80. Total 1150
It is not a restaurant itself, but a covered terrace with two plastic tables attached to the house where they cook for you. When you arrive, even if you don't see anyone, sit down or ask at the house that is just inside on the right and they will come out to serve you. In our case the service was normal. Cash only! Not cards.

Amazing quality and generous portions at this small, local restaurant. The kindness of the staff. We ate the seafood platter and shrimp matapa, a treat! Slightly long waiting time which proves that everything is done at the same time. Unbeatable price.

We had great local cuisine at Leopoldinas. The Matapa was super tasty and my partner claim that she had the best calamari ever.

Best seafood of our whole 2-week trip to Mozambique including fancier places. This is a great find. Be ready to wait but it will be worth it.

Leopoldina's is fine. I was there with my girlfriend 2 nights ago and here's how it went. We arrived to this nice local spot because we saw the page on Google Maps and it seemed really good and authentic. The waiter welcomed us warmly and we sat down ordering a beer, a prawn curry and a grilled calamari. The menu was written on the wall but the prices were not there. We thought that the prices were as local and rustic as the place was, but it turned out that they were pretty high for the location and kind of food. When we asked for the menu for the 3rd time the waiter brought it to us and we checked the prices. It was a bit upsetting, after the dinner, to find that we were being overcharged for the prawn curry, but we fixed this issue with the owner which has been really nice.
RESUME: the place is nice and local but prices are high for such a rustic location and simple kitchen. Come here to try some local food but don't expect local prices. Ps: Samosas were pretty bad, skip them.
SUGGESTION FOR WAITER AND OWNER: Always be really clear about prices with customers and don't give them surprises. Bring the menu with prices to the table or write them on the wall so they can read them.

Great local food at very fair price!
Our concierge said it’s his favourite local place to dine.
It’s chilled and cute and lots of fish dishes and chicken!

We had a really nice dinner with local food at Leopoldina's (prawns, matapa)... The owner was very nice and welcoming. You have to stop there if you visit Vilanculos, way more typical experience than the restaurants of the big hotels/lodges along the beach !
