Our KZN assessors Irene and Lindy took themselves to the recently-opened Mundo Vida in Umdloti for an end-of-year lunch last month. Irene fell in love with the place and sent in the following glowing report-back.
The Rave Review
Lindy and I had a most delectable year-end lunch at Mundo Vida (location Umdloti Beach Centre on South Beach Road in Umdloti, KZN) in December. What a treat! Lindy’s Thai Style Mussels were really delicious. My Prawn Curry was full of flavor and very delicious too… we sipped flutes of bubbly and watched dolphins diving in the ever-changing sea on one side, and the world going by on the other – it was a very special and memorable experience.
The Background
I went back yesterday for a chat with owners Don and Joni Wilkinson to find out more about Mundo Vida. This special eatery offers “Foods of the World” – faire inspired from around the globe. Don and Joni have excellent foodie credentials - they previously owned Gina’s off Umhlanga Rocks Drive and Don started Razzmatazz Restaurant in Umhlanga many years ago. Their new venture certainly has a winning location with stunning sea views, dolphin spotting almost daily and whales in season.
The Facts
Mundo Vida is open 7 Days a week.
They have a Sushi bar out on the Deck - Light Lunches are served from 12 to 3 p.m. with Sushi and / or Drinks only available between 3 and 6 p.m. Dinner is served from 6 to 10 p.m. (last orders taken at 10).
The emphasis is on Sea Food with fresh linefish daily. They also offer a great selection of dishes from around the world and have Daily Specials. They employ a delightful Thai Chef – Sarah - and 2 Full Time Sushi Chefs.
Mundo Vida caters for Birthday Parties and other special events - I know where our next Book Club Dinner will be!
