The Mamma Mia family together inside the restaurant

Five years ago we packed up Johannesburg and brought Mamma’s kitchen to Devon.

We’re Elvio and Fatima. We moved to Axminster with our four children and a dream we’d carried for years: to share the food we grew up on. Portuguese cooking, by way of South Africa.

Today our children and their partners run Mamma Mia with us. Pull up a chair and you’re part of the family.
