What people are saying

Gouveia's Garden Restaurant sits in Harare's Msasa industrial area, and long-time reviewers describe it as a local institution for Portuguese food. Phillip (2020) called the crowd “the who's and who's of the Msasa Industial Area” and said “The restaurant offers a superb Portuguese menu,” recommending the seafood. Phil (2018) rated it “Best Portuguese chicken this side of Portugal.”

A more recent view is mixed. Rogue (July 2026) found the food “ok” and thought the kitchen “can put a little bit more effort in,” noting “there are now plenty of good options in Msasa.” Carlos (2023) still rates it “Great place to take clients for lunch,” with both takeaway and sit-down seating on offer.

4.0 / 5

“Rather hidden in the midst of an industrial area, this is where the who's and who's of the Msasa Industial Area meet for diner/supper and of course for those who drink, they also converge for their "one too many" cold beer excursions.”

“Food was ok. Prices are fine. A lot of people rave about this place but I think they can put a little bit more effort in. There are now plenty of good options in Msasa.”

5.0 / 5

“It's situated at the right place when one is hungry . There is a take away or even better still a place at the back for sit down if one is not in a hurry. Great place to take clients for lunch.”
