    Literally on Laginha beach! The place is always packed (with a mix of locals and tourists) and it's easy to understand why: perfect location, nice food and drinks at a fair price and a cool vibe! They have always a different dish of the day but also a menu if you want something different or just a snack (the batatas recheadas are very nice). Highly recommended!

    Volles Restaurant, aber trotzdem relativ schnelle Bedienung. Leckere (auch alkoholfreie ) Cocktails, Schattiger Platz und direkt am Strand.

    Great restaurant with sea view and good food. The Friday’s night with Live Music is my favorite day to go with friends :)

    I’ve been to this place two times and both experiences have been very bad. The service is slow and the cocktails are badly made. The first time I ordered a margarita which was undrinkable. Then the second time I tried ordering a piña colada but it was just as bad. I wouldn’t recommend.

    Buen servicio y buen ambiente en en la misma playa. Pero me tiro una cerveza un cliente me pidió perdón y encima pedí otra y me la cobraron. Pero por lo demás todo muy bien.

    Really liked this place! Food wasn’t special but it’s a great vibe overlooking the sea - always lively and good wifi

    Die Lage am Strand ist sehr schön, allerdings haben wir in der Stadt viel besser und günstiger gegessen. Der Service war in Ordnung, aber nicht allzu freundlich. Die Pizza hat mir leider nicht sehr geschmeckt, war ziemlich langweilig und viel zu viel Käse. Der Hauswein war sehr lecker. Die gewünschte Nachspeise war leider schon aus und uns wurde auch keine Alternative angeboten.

    We visited Caravela few times, and it was always full of people, it’s a nice restaurant/bar just on the beautiful beach 🏝️ so you can take a drink and enjoy the sea view 👌🏼 drinks are nice (I recommend caipirinha with grogue), food is delicious and portions are huge, the prices are very good too 👌🏼 you can see, that local people are also eating here, so it’s a good sign 👍🏼

    Nice atmosphère and location, service was nice, but they need to improve on the food. Pozza i had was a thin crust, with uncooked onions and tomatoes and some sausages directly from the tin uncooked. At worst these could be cooked to give some taste.

  • 4/5 Junior B. 10 months ago on Google • 62 reviews
    This place was a reliable location. Open until late and reliable with their food and service. I would recommend their stuffed fries and portguese steak. The carnival was cancelled just before the event due to weather, and we lost our money as we paid in advance and were leaving the next day but hey weather is an act of god. Nice place as went their 3 times altogether.

    It's a nice place to chill and grab a drink. The food was great as well. I dined there a couple of times during my vacation. I definitely recommend it.

    Good place to eat / drink. A bit expensive for the island (targeting tourists). Service very slow.

    Duży wybór napojów alkoholowych i bezalkoholowych ale obsługa bardzo do poprawy - myli zamówienia, na wino trzeba czekać 30 minut bo dwie kelnerki zapomniały o zamówieniu. Plusem jest wifi i fajny klimat. Można płacić w EUR

    Calamar frits pas frais, hamburger de mauvaise facture. Accueil sympathique

    Great atmosphere, friendly staff, potent cocktails and delicious food at a decent price. We dined here a couple of times and also just went for cocktails & for the beachfront view. Would definitely recommend.

    Bel endroit avec une belle vue. Service correct. Nourriture bonne mais sans plus. Sympa pour une pause déjeuner ou un verre.

    Очень долго несли заказ и в итоге принесли не тот салат, но мы не стали исправлять официантку, иначе бы умерли с голоду … Простая, но вкусная кухня

  • 4/5 Jeroen K. 6 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Nice view on the beach and locals with their trades on the boulevard. Good food and drinks. Atmosphere is nice. The serving needs a little speed up. Take your patience with you , it is Cabo Verde No stress 😎

    Très déçu ce soir sachant que ce n’est pas la première fois que nous mangeons dans ce restaurant. Serveuse nonchalante. Poulpe non cuit, et cramé. À fuir

    Service vreselijk twee uur wachten op je eten geen aanrader!!!!!!

  • 4/5 ines 6 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Through out my stay in S Vicente, Caravela was the go to restaurant for any meal. It truly is great, the food, the prices and the staff are amazing. The only thing i disliked was the wait for the food, even so it is totally worth it. Recommend!

  • 5/5 JW D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food (especially pizza and salads), perfect location, and occasionally a nice venue for live music.

  • 3/5 Andrew 1 year ago on Google
    Odd sort of place on the beach. Eat upstairs or down. Usual fare. Drinks the same. It's austere. Lacks character and no music, live or otherwise. Better to go to La Metala

  • 5/5 Bruna P. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, very kind and smiling staff and great ambiance. It’s right on the beach so the view is perfect! The prices are also very attractive. Highly recommended.

  • 3/5 Bruno S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location and place for a drink, not food. I have eaten here a couple of times and never impressed. Last time asked for a simple dish (bitoque) that came with cold chips and cheese and ham on top of the meat which is not a bitoque. The cheese was so strong I could not feel the meat's flavour. Cheese is a heavy ingredient, i works with very few meats and it is only some times of cheese.

    Good atmosphere, OK pizza! Good for football and drinks

  • 3/5 Stephanie A. 6 years ago on Google
    You should visit here for the great ambiance. The food is just ok but I would still recommend it because of its good location and great views. Always a fresh breeze to cool you down from the heat.
