32 Eating Out<br />
Eating Out<br />
Wherever you are in Malé, there is a restaurant, a ‘coffeeshop’, or a ‘teashop’, or an eating<br />
establishment of some sort near you. Each type offers a different type of food and social<br />
experience.<br />
Restaurants<br />
There are several restaurants, some of which are air-conditioned and others providing a more relaxed<br />
open-air concept. Restaurants range from those offering sophisticated international menus to those<br />
serving more localized Asian and European dishes. Some are open from breakfast, while others are<br />
open from lunchtime. All restaurants close at 1.00 a.m. in the morning.<br />
‘Tea Shops’<br />
The traditional Malé ‘teashop’ is still the most popular amongst the locals. Here you get to enjoy local<br />
foods and are sometimes noisy with lots of activity. There are several teashops scattered around the<br />
island. If you are in a hurry this is the ideal place as they serve the local version of ‘fast food’. Teashops<br />
open early in the morning some as early as 5.00 a.m. and close at 1.00 a.m.<br />
Coffee Shops<br />
The coffee shop is the modern version of the teashop. Coffee shops serve a variety of snack and quick<br />
meals such as noodles and fried rice. Mostly small and cozy, they offer good meals at lower prices<br />
compared to restaurants. Coffee shops open in the morning between 8.00 a.m and 9.00 a.m and<br />
remain open until 1.00 a.m in the night.
