The Backroom

The Backroom is a restaurant at n° 272 Rua De Kassuende in Maputo, Mozambique. It brings together the functions of a restaurant, barbecue restaurant, bar, live music venue and event venue in one setting. The combination gives it a format that works for a meal, drinks, group dining or an organised occasion.

Barbecue is the clearest food identity. The restaurant offers dine-in service, with takeaway and delivery also available for meals enjoyed elsewhere. The food-focused side of the venue is paired with a bar serving beer, wine and cocktails, giving the drinks offering a broad range across casual and more occasion-oriented visits. The listed price level is expensive, so the venue is positioned for dining where the overall restaurant and entertainment setting forms part of the experience.

Live music is a central part of The Backroom’s character. As a live music venue, it provides a setting where dining and drinks can take place alongside musical performances. The event venue category also makes the space relevant for functions and group occasions, although the format and arrangements for a particular event require confirmation with the venue.

Outdoor seating adds a choice beyond the indoor restaurant and bar setting. That makes the venue suitable for different types of visits, from a barbecue meal to drinks outside or a group gathering connected with live entertainment. The availability of dine-in, takeaway and delivery means the restaurant can serve both in-house occasions and meals arranged away from the premises.

The Backroom is particularly suited to groups, with group-friendly dining listed among its features. Its mix of barbecue food, bar service, live music, outdoor seating and event use creates a flexible restaurant format rather than a venue focused only on a single meal occasion. The address on Rua De Kassuende identifies it clearly within Maputo, while the combination of food, drinks and entertainment gives the venue a distinct role for social dining and organised gatherings.
