    Some of the best food we’ve eaten in cape verde. Definitely go, twice if you can. Mystery menu which is also good fun. We got peanut chicken (wow) and fish meatballs (wow wow). Even the salads and sides were wow.

    Este es un restaurante especial donde no eliges la comida. Te preguntan si hay alergias y te llegan los platos a la mesa. Nos lo recomendaron y menudo acierto. Estaba todo buenísimo. El ambiente es tranquilo. Hay muy pocas mesas por lo que es recomendable reservar con antelación. El menú cerrado cuesta 15€ con las bebidas aparte. Totalmente recomendable.

    Really worth a visit. It's a nice place, with love music and really good food. Also the personal is really kind. Unfortunately, I felt the place to be quite under touristic influence, what I really disliked. No local guest here. Also note, the price is pretty high compared to other local places, where you might pay a third. In sum this makes a real difference. Size of the portion was okay. 1400Escudos / Menue per Person (starter, main, dessert). The homemade ice cream tastes really different (I believe it's the milk) but good, even though it was a small piece.

    It's a tourist restaurant. For that, it does its job pretty well. It's not overpriced for what you get, the food was quite nice, the staff is accommodating. The music was alright too, though I don't know enough to judge it in any way. We didn't regret visiting but wouldn't go a second time as we prefer places also frequented by locals.

    Très belle découverte sur Mindelo. Menu unique (dispo en version végétarien), mais la cuisine était excellente, le poisson comme la viande ainsi que l’option végétarienne. Nous nous sommes régalés! Attention cependant, réservation conseillée ! Nous y sommes allés sans et avons eu de la chance d’avoir une table 🙂

    Very nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The vegetarian food was great, you do get a lot of food so don't eat before you go! Nice live local music.

    We went there twice during our holidays, it was wonderful both times! Delicious dishes, good natural juices and caipirinha, and above all great music! I would highly recommend to go there if you happen to be in Mindelo

    Un incontournable pour nous à Mindelo. Repas unique avec beignets de poisson a l'apéro, entrée (salade a tombée), 2 poissons et 2 viandes avec légumes et riz et 2 desserts (glace et crème). Il est préférable de réserver ... Victime de son succès.

    Uma excelente experiência culinária. Melhor música ao vivo que ouvimos num restaurante do Mindelo. Atendendo à localização, fomos e viemos de táxi.

  • 3/5 Simon R. 2 weeks ago on Google • 163 reviews New
    Wow. The service was TERRIBLE. We waited 35 minutes for our first drink. 55 minutes for the starter. We weren't the only ones, with people around us complaining loudly too. I know service is a bit more relaxed in CV but this is taking the biscuit. Given also that it's a set menu, so everybody gets the same dish, it's not like it's a challenge for the kitchen to get the food out, particularly as we reserved our table in advance too. Avoid.

    was empty, but without reservation you couldn’t come in

    Es gibt täglich ein anderes Überraschungsmenü mit 3 Gängen. Und dazu Live Musik. Einfach ein tolles Erlebnis.

  • 4/5 Lars-Eric P. 10 months ago on Google • 91 reviews
    Gutes Essen und tolle Location mit Live-Musik. Die Musik war teilweise etwas zu laut, um sich zu unterhalten, aber dafür war das Essen sehr köstlich. Es ist eine kleine Überraschung, da es jeden Tag nur ein Gericht gibt. Dafür teilt man sich alles mit seinen Begleitungen, was für Kommunikation sorgt.

  • 5/5 Elena D. 6 months ago on Google • 72 reviews
    Ofrece menú por 15€ que incluye entrantes, dos principales de carne y pescado y un postre. También es posible con opción vegetariana. Comimos muchísimo pero estaba todo muy bueno y no queríamos dejar nada. Una opción muy recomendable si estás en Mindelo.

    This restaurant has potential and I get why some people liked it here, but it's not for me. We waited endlessly. We didn't get the entire menu, some stuff was good but mostly was just ok. After having asked for napkins 6 times, I had to get paper from the toilet.

  • 5/5 Mark O. 1 month ago on Google • 55 reviews New
    Ein ganz wunderbares und hervorragendes Ăśberraschungs-MenĂĽ. Auch die Live Musik war auf sehr hohem Niveau. Das Beste Restaurant auf Kap Verde bisher auf unserer Rundreise, wir kommen definitiv wieder!

  • 4/5 Maria Leonor F. 7 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    No cimo de um morro, espaço muito giro. O conceito de não haver ementa de onde escolher correu muito bem, estava tudo óptimo! O atendimento foi muito fraquinho e trapalhão. Embora a sala tenha enchido, disseram que na época baixa não têm música ao vivo, e isso foi uma desilusão...

  • 5/5 Carlos Ferreira S. 2 months ago on Google • 52 reviews New
    Always a pleasure, it will not get more "local" than this. There is nothing a la carte, you just take what's there for the night and guess.... it's amazing.

  • 5/5 Raquel Morente A. 2 months ago on Google • 48 reviews New
    Genial! En lo alto de San Vicente y con unas buenas vistas. Es un local muy bonito. Necesitas reservar un día mínimo antes porque solamente tiene un servicio. Tiene música en directo en todo momento. En la cena no eliges la comida, ellos te ponen diferentes platos donde entra entrante, principal con diferentes pescados y carnes y el postre. Estaba todo riquísimo!! Aceptan tarjeta y también tienen menú vegetariano.

  • 5/5 Luis R. 6 months ago on Google • 41 reviews
    Espectacular, el mejor restaurante que probamos en Cabo Verde. El menú es sorpresa y consiste en un entrante, principal y postre, que realmente el principal son varios platos y junto con guarnición. Probamos uno normal y otro vegetariano y ambos estaban buenísimos. El precio es un poco más caro que la media, pero por calidad y cantidad sin duda merece la pena.

    Tolle Location! Es gibt am Tag nur ein Menü - was Markt, See und Küche hergibt. Köstlich zubereitet und viel zum Probieren. Am Wochenende inklusive Live-Musik

  • 5/5 Se 3 months ago on Google • 29 reviews New
    Ein tolles Restaraunt mit täglich wechselndem, regionalem Menü zu einem äußerst fairen Preis. Der Abend wird musikalisch von einem tollen Duett begleitet. Wir waren während unseres Aufenthaltes gleich zweimal dort. In Hochzeiten sollte besser vorab reserviert werden.

    The best vegetarian food in Sao Vicent: the super delicious mix of soja and other beans - thanks to chef to show me the name of that. - Note that it is big portion from starter dessert: keep space for your main dish (I had to bring home the leftover) - Other options looked also good - Price per person 1500$ included everything except drinks - Good real fruit juice - Quick and friendly service - The live music is a plus - Parking is a bit difficult

  • 5/5 Billy E. 2 years ago on Google • 26 reviews
    Wooow Delicious food! A 3-course chefs menu, you only need to tell them what you don’t eat, and they prepare a fresh menu for you. Even for vegans, everything was nice. The service was kind and fast. Price quality was really good, really cheap for what you get.

  • 5/5 Kalalala L. 10 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    wow wow wow. We came on the recommendation of our hotel employee. She reserved a table for us. great food, great atmosphere, great live music. There is a fixed 4-course menu for everyone (15 EUR, drinks extra) made from fresh ingredients, vegetable, fish, meat, desert, very tasty. You don't know the menu before, it's brought out in large bowls and you'll be surprised. great concept. Be sure to reserve in advance!

    Merci pour cette soirée très conviviale avec un délicieux menu surprise et un concert de choix. Vous aimez accueillir les gens et cela se voit.

  • 5/5 Eva Johanna L. 4 weeks ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    One of our favourite dining experiences in São Vincente. Beautiful restaurant, tasty authentic food and lovely service - pretty fast as well. There’s no a la carte menu, it’s a set dinner which to our understanding changes every evening to offer the freshest ingredients possible. Super tasty caipirinhas too. Reservations are recommended.

  • 5/5 Nina van H. 3 years ago on Google • 8 reviews

  • 5/5 Michael K. 3 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Sehr nettes kleines Restaurant mit nur einem Menü. Damit kein Stress mit der Auswahl der Gerichte. Das Menü bestand aus einem Starter, frittierte Taschen aus Kartoffeln, Zwiebeln und Salat. Danach ein wohlschmeckender Frischer Salat mit einem wunderbaren Dressing. Als Hauptgericht gab es Fisch, Fleisch, Hühnchen mit Reis und einer Art Polenta. Sehr wohlschmeckend und lecker und mengenmäßig völlig ausreichend. Zum Dessert eine Art Kramelflan. Wir können das nur empfehlen.

  • 5/5 Catarina da Silva H. 3 years ago on Google
    You need to make a reservation and there is no menu. You arrive, take your seat and eat what they cook - which is delicious and always a surprise. Very delicious, tasty and local cuisine with the love of the owner who is a really nice and friendly lady. We loved that place and it is a great experience!

  • 5/5 Ramon Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place elevated from the city center with cosy terrace for dinner. Life music and singer with Cesárea Evora & other themes. Dinner is original and very well presented. Service is fantastic (kitchen and waiters 109% women!). Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.
