This warm modern restaurant located in the old Hildebrand Building is the ideal place for an eclectic combination of Portuguese and Mozambican cuisine cravings. This place is strategically located for a breathtaking view of the harbour and mountains surrounding it.



You are sure to fill your tummy, with an abundance of much-loved Portuguese flavours to be enjoyed with a glass of vinho tinto (red wine), including old favourites like peri-peri chicken, trinchado and espetadas. Emphasis is put on shellfish such as langoustines, crayfish and prawns. They have a broad choice of cuisines and the waiters encourage sharing of meals or mix matching, so be sure to go all out with your choices. Starters on the other hand, come in different rages, including Figados de Galinha (mind-blowing chicken livers with onion & Piri Piri), Chouriço (with roasted peppers marinated with a garlic, thyme & sherry vinegar), Lulas (calamari with Chouriço, roasted cherry tomato, black olives & rocket), Prawn & Bacon (prawns wrapped in bacon with a black fig, honey, apple & almond sauce).

Main menu dishes incorporate old favourites like free-range PiriPiri Whole Baby Chicken, spicy Trinchando, Espetada & Bacalhau. Desserts feature authentic Portuguese delicacies like Pastéis de Nata (Portuguese Pastry Tart) & Tarte de Amendoa (Almond Tart).


The authentically prepared Portuguese dishes presented with a touch of Mozambican flair will immediately take you from Cape Town to the Portuguese island. MAReSOL is kid friendly and allows for the perfect family day outing and experience, and perhaps if you are looking for a  taste of Africa, then MAReSOL is the perfect dining choice in the V&A Waterfront.
