São Tomé and Príncipe Restaurants

1. Asas de Aviao

History is served more than anything else at this odd spot at the airport, where one of two stranded Lockheed Constellations has been turned into a place that's more bar than restaurant. During the late 1960s Biafra War, the planes brought supplies into Sao Tome and evacuated refugees. The impacts of war can be seen on the aircraft. Don’t expect to feel like you’re sitting in a tube, because structures built around the plane eliminated its character. The restaurant is open morning until night and the best choices are snacks—nothing fancy; perhaps fried plaintains—and cocktails while pondering the past.
