Arts and crafts are sold here. The right place to buy a nice gift for your familly and friends. This is a garden selling crafts, paints, flowers and also with two restaurants. One of the restaurants sell Italian and Mozambican food and the other one sells traditional mozambican food. I especially like the one selling traditional mozambican food. You can try Matapa, Nhemba beans or seafood with coconut sauce (just to mention few) and eat with rice or shima (polenta). Very tasty and the prices are very affordable.
