    Good food and portions. Just make sure you make a reservation in advance otherwise you might miss out on the experience. Don’t hesitate to make a reservation if you don’t speak the language (I called and made a reservation in English). During the weekend a lot of restaurants have live music. It’s not possible to have a glass of wine only a whole bottle not even a small bottle is possible.

    Excellent Restaurant with nice traditional music from Cabo Verde. The place to be in Praia. Food is great quality for a fair price. Service is very fast. I would even say that this music Restaurant is a very cosy place. Do not forget to reserve your table in advance because this place is always crowded and full. Number one on TripAdvisor as well for this city. No negative points to mention here. The five stars are well deserved.

    Nous avons réservé par WhatsApp le premier soir. Nous avons adoré cette expérience : la cuisine, le service et... l'ambiance musicale ! Du coup on y est retourné le lendemain soir sans réservation mais c'était juste car c'est très prisé. Donc un conseil : réservez !

  • 5/5 Lopes I. 2 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    Très bon service avec des personnes accueillantes, attentives et souriantes. Les plats étaient très bons! Le groupe qui faisait le concert apportait une bonne ambiance supplémentaire. J'y retournerais volontiers lors de vacances à mon pays d'origine. 🇨🇻💜

    Tem a musica sempre com volume alto o que dificulta a conversação mesa.

  • 5/5 Edison B. 1 year ago on Google • 18 reviews
    I have a deep affection for this venue, with its delightful food, excellent service, and the accompanying show. For those looking to experience a fusion of music and culinary delights that epitomize Cape Verdean culture, this is the destination to visit.

  • 5/5 Thiago Z. 1 month ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Very good music, really recommend the experience of dining in and watching the show. Be sure to arrange a taxi beforehand if you are staying far from the center, as it gets a bit empty outside late at night

    Um verdeiro "balão de oxigénio" na zona do Plateau. Para além da comida, o ambiente, a destacar também a atenção e o cuidado da chefe de sala na gestão do espaço e da reserva.

  • 3/5 Marie Le G. 2 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    Lieu assez particulier, c'est une plaque tournante du tourisme et non pas un lieu de vie local. Manque de charme et d'authenticité.

  • 5/5 Felina Ahouefa E. 1 year ago on Google • 7 reviews
    I went there with friends and it was a fun time. The food and drinks were fresh and delicious with a good quality/price ratio. The music was immaculate, I could easily spend the night there listening to it. Overall a good place. I recommend

    Très sympa pour boire un verre après le repas, groupe de musique de qualité. Pas essayé le resto mais je pense qu'il y a mieux au plato

  • 3/5 Mocking J. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice food. Not much pasta for the price you pay. And they include the tip in the price you pay without telling you. Long waiting times. Nice music.

  • 5/5 Fulham Scalp & Hair C. 1 year ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Really delicious food, we had the octopus rice stew and the steak. Both were delicious. Incredible music and a really friendly atmosphere of music lovers. We spotted the guitarist on the TV later that week.

  • 4/5 Jorge O. 1 year ago on Google
    Good fresh fish, good quantity and well presented. The music was also nice. The prices are a bit high. I hope they pay the musicians decently with these prices.

    Wanted to enjoy the live music while having a drink. After being seated, the water was not amused at all once we mentioned that we only came for drinks, furthermore he pointed out pretty harsh that it is minimum consumption of 1500$ per person. We asked whether there is a opportunity to just sit in the back part at the bar, but there wasn't. We didn't feel welcomed here and left. Besides there were exclusively tourists in this place, definitely a lack of authenticity!

    Very good music/entertainment, mediocre food (partly raw) and terrible service. All things considered an 'okay' experience saved mostly by the live entertainment.

  • 5/5 Durn S. 1 year ago on Google
    Since going there - i know why they have been around for such a long time. Great service, really great food (i recommend the 'cabrito' - so tender) and awesome atmosphere with exceptional music! We were lucky to get one last table without a reservation on a thursday night - i imagine that's the exception.

    We got the recommendation from our tourguide and also our booklet. Unfortunately, we can‘t get the hype. The waiter was super unfriendly and it was way too hot in there. We had chicken and tuna which unfortunately both were absolutely overcooked and very dry. Also note that you must reach minimum consumation expense otherwise you pay 1500 cve. Which I had to pay as I gave back my bone-dry chicken. Unfortunately I didn‘t notice when getting the bill. Just have a drink there and leave.

  • 5/5 Michał Z. 1 year ago on Google
    We came here on Saturday evening. Not hungry but wanted to listen to some live music. The band was great but the atmosphere created by a staff was even better. Waiters are unique and very friendly. Meals look delicious, sincerely recommended.

  • 4/5 Nando I. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice environment, nice people, great customer service and you have the opportunity to listen to local artists performing on stage

  • 5/5 Francis M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Live Music, Excellent Service, Great Drinks and Good Food. This place was recommended by a couple of different local people and it did not disappoint. The music was just fantastic - two amazing guitarists and a singer with a beautiful voice. You pay a bit extra for the food (mains mostly 1800-2000 but pasta for 10000) but it was well worth it and the food itself was very tasty. The drinks were excellent and the service was impeccable. Music started around 8:30 or 9 and you should make a reservation via FB as it was totally full by music time.

    Friendly staff, great food and live music that heightens the evening to a great experience. No rush to eat and leave, so you can really relax. Just remember to reserve a table and be a little bit early.

  • 5/5 Rui G. 6 years ago on Google
    Wonderful ambiance, live music played by local musicians and singers and most of all, wonderful food! The service is quite fast and the staff is nice and helpful. I recommend the seafood rice, it is divine!

  • 5/5 Marek K. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice place with perfect live music which makes the atmosphere of the restaurant very delightful. It can get a bit warm inside, but you dont mind that because the great music and excellent food will compensate for it. We had a fish cream soup and vegetable cream. Both were a poem for the tongue. Main dishes, surimi rise and prawns, both super tasty. Very much recommended place!

😐 Had a good day and a bad day (2 days in a row). Service can obviously be horrible :/ My guess it depends on the time of order. (Order before 19:00 means wayting for an hour+!?) Food is OK, though some dishes are WAY overpriced. They will fill your stomach and no stomach problems from them :)

😐 Interesting experience. Certainly not the cheapest or best-value place in Praia. It's trying to be fancy, but I'm not sure if it succeeds. I waited 15+ minutes for a waiter to come for my money in order to receive change only to leave after not getting any attention at all. As a foreigner, everythin...

👍 Espaço aconselhável para uma pausa de poucas horas e comer um fast food ao mesmo tempo. É super movimentado e quase não és atendido por causa do movimento lotado, mas existem outros dias favoráveis.
