Luanda - Octopus Salad in Lookal The Lookal Restaurant in the Luanda Island is all about the seafood.
It is, without a shadow of doubt, the best restaurant I've been in Luanda.
As soon as you enter, simply the seafood scent it's addictive.
Do you see that Octopus Salad? That was my appetizer. Do you want to know what else I had?

First of all, let me tell you that the Lookal is not the type of Restaurant that a normal middle class family can attend regularly.
But hey, I was celebrating 12 years of marriage, so an exception was required, and well deserved too.
So, how was that Octopus Salad?
Even if it didn't had exactly the same seasoning as I'm used to have it in Portugal, I have to say: It was pretty damn good.
And that is the beauty of the difference:
I already had Octopus Salad in at least 4 different countries (Portugal, Angola, France and Spain), with 4 totally different ways to do it and do you know which one was my favourite?
ALL of them!!!
Yep... beauty in the difference! If you live by that motto, you'll enjoy much more in life.
Believe me!
But hey, let's get back to food... lol... that's why you read my blog, right?

Seafood paradise..
 Pineapple Caipirinha at Lookal | After some Pineapple "Caipirinhas", (that were quite tasty by the way...) our dinner arrived. We went for the Seafood by the kilo and bellow is a photo of what we ate. I'll guide you through it... |
Seafood Heaven in Lookal
OK, so that was our dinner...
King Crab, Lavagante (a type of Lobster) and Percebes (Goose Barnacles).
It was a meal to remember... one of those we will be telling our grandsons about... Especially the King Crab. It was not the first time I had it, but it's always a feast when I do.

The morning after...
Well, I'm sure you will understand that since this was our marriage anniversary, this post won't have the level of detail they normally do.
But I still want to share with you a couple of photos of my breakfast on the Luanda Epic Sana Hotel.

 Breakfast at the Epic Sana Hotel in Luanda. Brilliant... |  Breakfast at the Epic Sana Hotel in Luanda. |
This was the best Buffet Breakfast I ever had! And I already had breakfast in a lot of excellent Hotels in Portugal, France, Monaco, etc... but this one was extraordinary, not only because of the variety, not only for the quality of the ingredients, but also because of the perfect way that everything was cooked.
From the simple eggs to the delicious deserts, everything was brilliant. Even the Baguette had the level of the best I used to eat in France.

How much??? Was it worth it??
Yes, those are the two very relevant questions: How much did that cost, and was it worth the money?
Well, to answer both questions, I would never spent that much money in a night if I wasn't in Angola and if it wasn't such a special night for us. It's not every day that you do 12 years of Marriage.
But it's Luanda. And in Luanda quality like this is hard to find and it's expensive.
