Why Mesa exists
You want to eat out on Saturday. The menu is in an Instagram post, the hours are in a WhatsApp group and the price is nowhere.
You call the restaurant and nobody picks up. You send a message and the reply comes at six in the evening.
On Mesa, the restaurant's page has photos, the menu with prices in meticais, opening hours, location and a button to request a table. Once you ask, your booking shows its status, so you don't have to ask again.

Request a table
Give the date, time and number of people. Without an account, you confirm with a code sent to your phone or email.
Some restaurants confirm straight away. Others reply later and the booking stays pending until they do. The status always shows on your booking: pending, confirmed or waitlisted.
Built for Maputo
The pages are light because a lot of people browse on mobile data. The first list is short and chosen by us. You don't need an account to browse. To book, a code is enough, because nobody wants to make a password to go to dinner. Some restaurants reply before they confirm, so we always show the status of your request. Booking costs nothing and Mesa doesn't take payment.
