I was in Angola for a business trip and has to visit Ilha Luanda (Luanda Island). I just picked the restaurant who looked to me the best at that place and I was not disappointed. The food was excellent. I ordered shrimps with exotic fruit as salad and shrimps/lobster curry and then a mixed fruit plate. It was very delicious... More

I was in Angola for business, and it's clear that business drives the price of everything in Luanda to silly (London) levels. The city is very much a contrast between recent - unchecked? - development and desperate poverty. For the lucky, Coconuts is a very nice beach-side restaurant on the sand-bar of Ilha. Good choice of dishes, straightforward service, and... More

Good food but slow service.It is one of the pricy places as most of them are. Nice place to relax also early in the day. Stay away from the long walks on the beack. Xpats walking alone on the beach are targeted and recent robberies has taken place both on the road and on the beach between the restaurants.

Brilliant location on the Ilha de Luanda right on the beach with a large and varied menu with a good selection drinks. Not cheap but not overly expensive by Luandan standards and well the money. We went for lunch when not overly busy and received a faultless service. Food and wine was excellent and very happily return.

A great location on the beach to have a few sundowners and good food. The menu is varied enough that there is something for even the fussiest of eaters. Good selection of wines and cocktails and equally good surroundings. Service can be a bit "hit or miss" though.

Coconuts is for a reason one of the favorites on Ilha de Luanda. Service is not excellent, often slow, but the food is good and so are the drinks. Like many other places on Ilha, it is on the beach and offers a nice view.

Great location on the beach, and great decor. food is good (by Luanda standards) but do not believe the hype about the prawn curry (if you are from the UK its just chippy curry sauce). really good for larger parties as they do a great buffet
