Red Cap fast food is located on second floor of Hotel Relax Inn. Its famous place for fast food among maldivian teen agers. Their staff is friendly but not efficient and food is just okay.
They are offering burgers, pizzas, drum sticks,steaks, breakfast, short eats, desserts, milk shakes and ice creams.
I tried their chicken burger deal which was just okay. However chocolate balls were really delicious. Chicken burger meal cost me 18 ruffiya ($ 1.5) and chocolate ball was 2 ruffiya each.

Try some local treats from the Male’ Maldives
Visit the Maldives on your next summer holiday, visit www.maldivesdivetravel.com
Down Town Cafe can be found in a narrow street inside commercial area. It offers the best tasting local delicacies in town in my opinion. Take an adventure and wander around the Male’
Their menu as can be expected a long list of local, Thai, Chinese, Indian, Continental, Italian, Mexican and other international cuisine, It is no secret that the Maldives is a culinary melting pot. Food is really delightful, staff is efficient & friendly. When they came to know that I am from Pakistan so i used to get a special treatment. As i have already mentioned that Maldivians greatly respect Pakistani people.
Down Town Cafe is a great place for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts or snacking and lounging around. Many young people and business men come to Down Town cafe to enjoy their delicious food.
Favorite Dish: Try their Banana shake . It costs 15 Ruffiya (Appox $1) but taste is really good. The best was fresh pineapple just in 12 Ruffiya ( $ 1). Their Nasi Gorang costing 30 Ruffiya ( $ 2.5) was the best ever i had in Maldives. Chinese fried chicken noodles costing 20 Ruffiya ( $ 1.5 appox) were also delicious.
Maldives is blessed with delicious bananas, pine apple and papaya. Tropical fruits from a tropical paradise. It is amazing!

The majority of hotels and restaurants in Malé offer a combination of Eastern and Western specialities. Cafés in Malé are known as ‘hotaa’ and are a great place to get some local food and drink. Traditional Maldivian food is spicy, although not quite as spicy as in its neighbouring countries. They usually contain rice, fish broth, or garudhiya, and side dishes such as chilli, onions and lime. Curries are called riha and are quite popular, and eaten with both rice and roshi, which is unleavened flat bread similar to the Indian roti. Snacks are called hedhikaa and are usually deep fried fish-based items that are commonly found in Maldives restaurants.
