Surf 'n' Snack Shack: Wraps & smoothies to die for!!

by trace2011

Situated right in front of the beach in Santa Maria, next to the hotel Leme Bedje, this snack bar serves not only snacks but daily specials including local Cape Verdean cuisine or international.Relaxing atmosphere with great service and a cheery smile, it was nice to chill with a cold beer and take in the spectacular view. Mexican chicken wrap, spicy yet delicious! The tortilla wraps are made on the premises daily with a choice of fillings, even vegetarian. Lots of choice, either toasties or snacks. Ideal for a light lunch as only open daily till 5pm, so great to pop in for a quick bite before heading to the beach.

KUSA DI KÁSA (Cose di Casa): The best Italian and Capeverdian food

by Otrebor

A wonderful mix of Italian and Capeverdian dishes cooked by the nicest girl I've met during this trip. Alberto and Anna, two Italians created this restaurant and now they have "sold for free" the quotes of the society/cooperative to these girls.They have traditional capeverdian dishes like cachupa and buxio and Italian plates like homemade pasta. They also make their own cheese, ice cream and more. Cachupa (four varieties of beans, fish, egg and tuna sausage).

Tipico Restaurant: Delicious cachupa!

by tere1

This is a very modest restaurant , but it serves the best "cachupa" in Sal Island. The "cachupa" is a typical Cape Verde dish , a stew made with meats, vegetables, corn and different kinds of beans. It's delicious and this restaurant is the place to taste it. The Cachupa!

Local restaurants: Grilled lobster everywhere!

by tere1

In Santa Maria do Sal, the main village, there are a few restaurants, though you don't have many options to choose from. Restaurants are all very modest but they serve fresh fish and seafood. Don't miss the lobster here, as it's very inexpensive and really good. It's one of the main dishes for tourists.

Beach Club at Morabeza Hotel: Great grilled tuna fish beef!

by tere1

This restaurant, besides its wonderful location on the beach serves great grilled fish and seafood. Fish is always fresh here and you can see it being prepared. They also have a tuna carpaccio which is delicious. Service can be a bit slow, but then, you're in Africa....! Tuna carpacio, grilled tuna beef and grilled lobster.

All restaurants: Be careful

by mauro_pd

Restaurants on these islands are more or less ok if you have a tough stomach. Consider that on Boavista local people do not use purified water to drink and they have no problem at all ... but I wouldn't suggest you to go for the same :-)Same story applies for local restaurants: for sure it's the best way to appreciate local food but be ready with some "stoppers" in the case you catch some small guys :-))) Of course fish is king ... and if you are used to europena prices ... be ready for surprises :-)

By the pier

by ginguba

also in Sal rei there's a restaurant with this really nice terrace and fab food, and a really nice portuguese lady running it. :)Can't rememeber the name, but the village is small. The pier i'm talking about is near Hotel Dunas.

Turifogo: Fresh fish of the day !

by mauro_pd

Nice & almost new restaurant on Sal Island; it's run by a german couple with local people help. Always trust people there and follow their suggestions; fresh fish of the day is always present since they're fisherman on themselves.It's also possible to go out for fishing with them and eat what you fish in the evening.

by ACGG

It was defenatly the restaurant called 'Piscador'. It's a normal restaurant. A restaurant to eat. Seafood in cape Verde is as expensive as any other dish of fish or meat. Whilst I was there, I had seafood everyday.At that time, a dish of lobster with french fries, was about $10/$15. Grilled Lobster and the ' Cachupa '. Cachupa here is delicious. Cachupa is made of several meats. Vegetables, banana and ' tapioca ' cooked where the meats were cooked. Red Beans and wine... Portuguese wine.Grilled lobsters are usually small and tasty. One lobster for each person. Grilled in charcoal with a special garlic sauce on top.And fresh fish... lots of fresh fish dishes.

A: Mindelo is in my opinion the most attractive town in Cape Verde. Nice town by the sea with colonial buildings and a pretty decent local nightlife.
