It is my to-go place in Maputo for any and all type of vegetables and fruits. The quality of fruits and vegetables are very good and fresh. The sellers are friendly and they also learnt a bit English and Hindi names for the vegetables. Varieties of legumes, nuts, piri piri sauces and spices are also available here. There is a small area for fish sellers.

This market is well-stocked with food and some personal care products. I went on a weekday morning and it was very quiet. I was easily identifiable as a foreign tourist but no one bothered me, except to politely call out as I passed their stand. The prices were fair. Many of the items had prices marked which made it easier as a non-Portuguese speaker.

Extremely well stocked fresh produce, has a variety of stuff from spices to everything and all veggies and seafoods. Lots of fresh cashews. Reasonably priced.

There are many dry foods, nuts, vegetables and fruits in good quality. Price is negotiable for bulk purchasing. And there is a new 2-floor parking lot next to the market 👍

Fun place to visit. Friendly people. Felt safe at all times.

This fresh produce market is a burst of flavors, colours and people. The prices are amazing and the quality of the produce will be hard to beat anywhere. We were blown away by the fish. We actually returned 3 days in a row. Most of the vendors are very happy to help and assisted us in finding exactly what we needed!! It's available to take small change though. That can be a bit of a mission.

It built in 1901. Local market. I really enjoy eating traditional fruits in there. It also very cheap.
