We
stayed
a
week
in
Mindelo
and
visited
few
main
restaurants
suggested
by
various
guides,
but
nothing
can
beat
Casa
Da
Morna,
run
by
host
Pedro
Fernandes.
Pedro
has
exquisite
taste
in
setting
the
menu
and
decorating
his
restaurant.
Just
conversation
with
him
worth
a
visit
to
this
place.
We
learned
a
lot
about
Mindelo
and
people,
also
details
about
the
fish
and
food
preparation.
We
ordered
appetizers:
ceviche
and
traditional
octopus
salad.
Both
were
superb.
Having
mango
in
ceviche
was
a
pleasant
surprise
as
well
as
the
absence
of
hot
peppers,
usually
accompanying
Peruvian
or
Mexican
ceviche.
We
tasted
fish,
mango
and
greens!
Then
we
had
grilled
fish
and
squid.
All
portions
were
very
generous
and
cooked
to
perfection.
We
could
taste
fish
and
enjoyed
every
bit
of
it.
Unlike
in
other
places,
the
grilled
fish
was
deboned
and
it
was
nice
to
eat,
without
extra
fighting!
Instead
of
wine
we
ordered
a
liter
of
white
sangria.
What
a
treat!
They
added
also
maracuja,
water
melon,
something
we
never
tried
before.
The
service
was
super
fast
and
courteous.
The
staff
knew
what
they
were
doing.
The
price
was
similar
or
maybe
a
bit
more
than
in
few
other
places,
but
the
quality
of
food
and
service
makes
Casa
da
Morna
the
best
place
in
Mindelo
for
a
fine
dining.
Of
course,
if
you
know
what
fine
dining
means!
