My favourite place that I've eaten in Sao Tome city - so nice that I've even returned to eat there again and will probably go again before I leave. The interior is nicely decorated, creating a comfy and cozy atmosphere. The waiters I had on both occassions were friendly and polite. As for the food - be careful because the portions are huge. The star dish for me was a seasoned rice pot with fish. It was massive, enough for four servings, but I finished the lot. Everything else was also tasty. By Sao Tome standards, it isn't cheap. But I don't mind paying a slight premium for a good experience with reliably good food. Pleasingly, on both occassions, a little amuse-bouche was brought out while waiting for the starters. Both times, the resturant was quite full but there was no real delay to the orders - I think. I received my starter within 10 minutes on both occassions.

Had dinner at Papa Figos and really enjoyed it. We had Tábua à Santola and Moqueca de peixe à papafigo, both were fresh, well prepared, and full of flavor. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. A solid place to try good food in São Tomé.

Wonderful typical food and gently service employees. Would be very nice if the restaurant had 1 fan per table, because of the hot weather
