Peri-Peri Delicious!
Fans of Mozambique in Laguna Beach can now dine at its newly opened sister restaurant at The Bluffs in Newport Beach.
Mozambique Peri-Peri is a new concept serving many of the same dishes as its original restaurant, but in smaller portions and in a casual dining atmosphere. (It’s named after Peri-Peri, a red pepper used in many African and
Portugese dishes.)
The menu includes starters such as vegetarian or beef samosas served with cilantro aioli, grilled prawns and chicken pops (marinated chicken served with Asian slaw and Peri-Peri sauce.)
Or choose from delicious curry bowls, wraps, or grilled items including a steak sandwich with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and spicy aioli; boerewors sausage on a Portuguese roll; chicken Peri-Peri; or an 8 oz. Mozambique burger.
There are salads; large platters for sharing, or a family style menu. Mozambique Peri-Peri also serves hard-to-find domestic and Eastern African beer, and South African wines.
Open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Mozambique Peri-Peri is in The Bluffs shopping center at MacArthur Blvd. and Bison Ave. in Newport Beach. 949.718.0956.
