Biques

Top choice in Mozambique


Biques (pronounced beaks) is a sight for sore eyes if you've just emerged bleary-eyed from the bush. Perched on a rise overlooking a windswept scoop of Macuti Beach, it's long been revered by overlanders for its pizza oven, triple-decker club sandwiches and sweet chocolate brownies. Wash your meal down with a frosty beer (served in a real beer glass).

There are few better places in Mozambique to sit and watch the sunset as you contemplate the journey behind – or ahead.
