Cheap

Since the offer and the quality of the food in Malawi practically do not differ between market stall and restaurant, it is advisable to visit the former.

The market is located in the Old Town right on the riverside. There you will find some board and cardboard stalls (even labeled as "restaurant") where you can do the usual things (see Malawi Overview), as well as some deep-frying stalls.
