are served. At other times a variety of short eats, both sweet and savoury, are
served with steaming cups of sweet black tea. Dotted around the islands teashop’
there is almost one on every street or street corner. It is customary to invite
one another to tea at the closest teashop when friends meet on the street,
especially if meeting after some time. Cafes are part of local’s way of life.

A café is not the ideal place for a business lunch or a quiet dinner. Usually
these places are loud and noisy with lots of hustle and bustle. For a quieter
meal, there are a variety of restaurants in addu atoll’. However, the local food
at these restaurants may not be as authentic as they are in the cafes. At the
restaurants, a variety of international cuisine including Chinese, Italian and
Indian dishes are served together with a milder version of the local fare, in
luxurious and comfortable settings.
