Mundo's is the kind of restaurant every African capital seems to have one of — a big, busy, semi-outdoor grill that does burgers, ribs, chicken, salads, decent pizzas and ice-cold beer at fair prices, and is always full. The original branch sits on the corner of Avenida Julius Nyerere and Rua da Argélia in the heart of Polana, with a wraparound deck and several big-screen TVs that show every football match worth showing.
The food is good without being remarkable; the atmosphere is the point — locals, expats, NGO workers, business travellers, all eating off the same menu. It is a useful default for a casual lunch or dinner, especially if you are travelling with children or a group with mixed appetites. Service can slow when the place is full.
