    Restaurante Sodade Casa da Cultura is a restaurant located in the center of Sal Rei. The atmosphere is very nice in the backyard over the day and night. You have to make a reservation ahead of time for dinner since has live music and gets very busy. We had breakfast there, food was fresh and in decent prices. And later the night, we had cocktails and desserts in their small bar. Stuff is super friendly. Recommend it!

    I actually didn't eat here but we visit the museum, it was €4 euros and they have you a phone and speaker in your language to hear about the history of the house. It was really informative. They staff there are lovely and so friendly and the gardens were amazing so beautiful

    I want to say, pictures on here don’t do the restaurant justice. The food was amazing. The views and ambiance were breathtaking, very romantic and cozy. It’s like you are having a home cooked meal in someone’s home. Good playlist for the vibes and the service, neatness was top notch. I wish I could give 10 stars

    Thank you for creating this space. Beautiful vibes, excellent blend of local & international dishes with very reasonable prices. We had more dinners and breakfasts here we can count 🥹

    Whilst the restaurant looked great and the service was adequate, the food was really bad. When my partner ask for the catch of the day, they should have stipulated which day because it was definitely not the day we ate there. The sauce on my main was nice but again ruined by a substandard price of fish. I assume they survive because it is a tourist destination and is considered a bit upmarket. But really the worst place we have eaten on the island. Looking at the reviews, seems that a lot are local guides. A lovely space but trading on its image and not it's food.

    I have a big problem with this restaurant because it stole my heart with its interior design and service. However, the dishes, although beautifully served, were not to my liking. Despite several visits, the only dish I can recommend is the avacado sandwich.

    This restaurant is located within an old restored colonial house. They did a great job creating this atmosphere. The food is also really good and has a good value as well. I had the best apple crumble here, you should definitely try their deserts.

  • 5/5 Farah D. 1 month ago on Google • 149 reviews New
    Very good restaurant. The food is tasty and the design is very beautiful, every room is unique, a real museum 😍. I absolutely recommend the smoked wahoo (carpaccio d’espadon).

  • 5/5 Niklas B. 1 year ago on Google • 124 reviews
    Very nice cuisine! My personal highlight was the smoked wahoo - A MUST TRY! The amberjack in orange sauce had been delicious, too, and made a great combination with the garlic potatoes. The cherry on top was the baobab cheesecake, which was very light and tasty. The texture was simply great! The interior of the restaurant is super beautiful. IMPORTANT: Make sure you reserve a table in advance. They are booked out nearly every day! I was lucky enough to find a small table for one just outside the restaurant. The food is generally pricey, very comparable to European standards though. For the quality however it is worth it and the perfect choice if you want to treat yourself. Also a fitting place for a romantic date. All in all one of the best cuisines I had in 14 days Boa Vista.

    Attrape touristes. Les gambas en entrée à 8€50 sont de vulgaires crevettes surgelées, les saint Jacques de banales "bousses" locales et le poulet yassa c'est 2 minuscules pilons. On paye le cadre et rien d'autre.

  • 5/5 Joachim D. 10 months ago on Google • 108 reviews
    Überraschend tolles Ambiente - unerwartet hinter der unscheinbaren Fassade eine Vielzahl kleinerer, extrem gemütlicher Räumlichkeiten - teils unter freiem Himmel. Sehr freundliches Personal, das Essen lecker, wegen des „Baustein-Systems“ etwas abenteuerlich bei der Bestellung und man darf hier nicht in Eile sein. Wir waren eingeladen und begeistert. Ich sage für jeden, der in Sal Rei mehr als einen Abend verweilt, neben dem „BowlaVista“ ist das „Sodade“ ein „Muss“! Sehr empfehlenswert

  • 5/5 Donya B. 1 year ago on Google • 92 reviews
    Lovely restaurant with several areas - you have to make a reservation at least 2 days ahead - often fully booked. But when you are there you know why, food is small portions but very delicious. And the whole atmosphere is very nice. Fair Prices as well, highly recommended!

    Eine wunderschöne Location mit tollem Essen und Service. Die Kellner sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Der Hinterhof ist sehr schön eingerichtet und geschmackvoll dekoriert und beleuchtet. Man fühlt sich wohl und das Essen ist sehr gut. Wir werden auf jeden Fall noch einmal her kommen, da es sich von den anderen besuchten Restaurants abhebt und definitiv für uns das Beste bisher hier war.

    Excellent restaurant sur le port de Sal Rei, très beau, les plats sont délicieux et l'accueil charmant le tout pour un prix très raisonnable

  • 5/5 Joachim M. 1 year ago on Google • 72 reviews
    Extrem lecker! Sowohl Frühstück als auch Abendessen. Preise sind fair für die Qualität, Service sehr aufmerksam. Sehr leckere Caipirinhas, besonders der Passion fruit caipirinha! Empfehlenswert: Smoked wahoo with citrus bittersweet Tunaballs in curry sauce Banoffe (Sahne, Krümel - ein Gedicht!) Cheesecake (herber wegen Affenbrotbaum) Reinfall war der Mango-Pie, Kuchen war nix und das Eis hatte viele Kristalle 🥲 Frühstück das Catchupa stewed with fried egg and fried banana - mal was anderes, aber passt gut zusammen, war sehr gut.

    We were there several times. The first few times dishes we had were very delicious but my partner got stomach problem afterwards...

  • 4/5 Meltem K. 8 months ago on Google • 52 reviews
    Ambience… Just perfect! Amazing decor, cozy rooms and backyard. We ate catch of the day and tuna balls in curry (ordering rice with it is recommended because it’s so plain alone) they were unfortunately not so tasty, but ok. We had goat cheese and tuna tartar as starters and as dessert we had chocolate mousse but they were also only average good.

    A beautifully restored property where it is clear to see that a lot of time,effort,money and good style has been put into. A very cosy garden area which several times a week features live music. Unfortunately what we experienced was that the staff have taken on an air of self importance and snobbery. It often seems to happen,worldwide,when an establishment is somewhat chic-the staff for some reason take on an attitude that they are doing the customer a favour by serving them. This attitude really doesn’t fit with Boa Vista and it’s a shame as Sodade could really be a super cool place that ticks all the boxes. Note to management-focus on staff training to improve attitude,hospitality and service skills.

    We dachten een super locatie ontdekt te hebben en hebben hier 2 dagen achter elkaar gegeten, zowel ontbijt als avond eten... We waren echter heel ziek geworden. We zagen ook in de tuin een kakkerlak (bij het deel met losse stenen tegen de muur bij het toilet), het is me niet geheel duidelijk of ze het eten wel 100 procent vers hebben of gewoon bewaren voor de volgende dag... Nog iets, toen we afbeelden voor de 3de dag omdat we ziek waren door het eten kregen we geen empatische reactie, gewoon klaar einde, de volgende. Op Boa Vista lopen ze rond met een glimlach, maar je kunt het niet vergelijken met de westerse standaard. Hoe uitgebreid je ook eet, hoe veel vooi je ook geeft, je krijgt nergens een drankje van het huis.

    We went there for lunch. The food was ok but in small portion. Vibe was good. However, 4.7 is overrated. The service was mediocre. Waiting for food was a pain, we wait for about 40 mins just for our dessert. The chilli oil tastes odd, which was clearly not in a good condition due to hot weather.

    En un sitio ideal, una antigua casa portuguesa rehabilitada. Con varias estancias todas diferentes. La terraza súper agradable. El personal correcto: la comida con cantidades abundantes y precios muy ajustados : menos de 50 euros dos personas . Se recomienda llamar a reservar y guardar espacio para los postres !

    On a fait une réservation vendredi dernier pour dimanche soir 19h, musique live, soirée chill. On arrivant quelle surprise, on est informé que il y avait une erreur de réservation, que l'employé a fait une réservation pour samedi au lieu de dimanche(sachant que samedi soir il y avait pas de musique en live ect) On nous a demandé de partir sans manger, sans excuse, sans rien. Aucun sens de professionnalisme. A éviter. Heureusement il y a d'autres établissements dans le coin qui savent prendre soin de leurs clients.

    Locale consigliato dalla nostra host dell'appartamento e ci abbiamo cenato diverse sere: consigliato per la qualità ottima delle portate e gli abbinamenti. Abbiamo mangiato antipasti, buzio, torta di pesce, vino cabral rosato ottimo e dolce di formaggio di capra con marmellata di papaya. Ambiente particolare: accogliente, romantico, d'altri tempi

    Aunque el sitio tiene muchísimo encanto y la comida estaba muy rica nos desilusionó. La camarera que nos atendió fue bastante desagradable y las raciones eran bastante escasas. No pedimos demasiado ya que no teníamos mucho apetito y la camarera hizo gestos desagradables al ver nuestra comanda. Creemos que la amabilidad no debería depender de la cantidad de dinero que gastes. Es una pena que nos llevemos esta imagen del lugar ya que el sitio es muy bonito.

    I don’t think you really visited Sal Rei if you didn’t stop by here - Food is excellent, staff is friendly and the location speaks to itself. Would definitely come back ( photos taken during the evening with dimmed lights there’s a beautiful atmosphere but would recommend to also visit for breakfast and check the audio tour of the museum)

    Beautiful food, so much effort and love went into what they prepared. Gorgeous surroundings, we were lucky to get a table for when they had live music. It was perfect. We were a table of three, we got seated in an area next to the kitchen, but it was perfect for us. Like our own private dining room. Food and drinks were impeccable can't fault. Espresso Martini, was one of the best we'd had. Staff were on point. 5* all the way for this little place.

    Meilleur resto de l’île, sans aucune hésitation. Allez-y les yeux fermés. Les serveurs parlent plusieurs langues Les plats sont délicieux L’ambiance est dépaysante. Mention spéciale pour la Catchupa et les ceviches excellents, ainsi que pour le concert live music.

    Posto tranquillo e curato dall'atmosfera leggera. Situato in centro a Sal Rei, ad un passo dal mare. Ottimo cibo tipico con pesce fresco a basso prezzo. Splendido lavoro di ricerca storica compiuto dal proprietario che si può osservare in ogni angolo del locale. La musica dal vivo dalla nota nostalgica è la ciliegina sulla torta. Complimenti.

  • 2/5 Thomas K. 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Die Ambiente ist grandios, das Essen gut, aber die Portionen im Vergleich zum Preis sehr klein. Was aber zu dieser schlechten Bewertung geführt hat, ist, dass beim Bezahlen mit der Kreditkarte der Rechnungsbetrag ungefragt statt in Escudos zu einem schlechten Kurs in Euro belastet wurde - was zu einer 10% höheren Rechnung geführt hat! Zum Glück habe ich das noch bemerkt und der Kellner hat die Fehlbelastung widerwillig korrigiert. Meiner Meinung nach ist das ein Versuch, einem billig abzuzocken…..

    One of the best places I've had the opportunity to be and where I've been able to enjoy the spectacular atmosphere, live music, good food and drink! I recommend it to anyone visiting the island of BoaVista, Cape Verde.

    Went there twice and loved it both times. It's a very pretty property (especially at night) and thus a great place to spend time with friends or a loved one. I didn't eat (unfortunately, heard it's great) but coffee and cocktails were great. You can also buy some local products there to take home.

    Sodade restaurant offers an outstanding culinary experience. The welcoming atmosphere, impeccable service, and beautifully presented dishes made with fresh, high-quality ingredients are truly exceptional. The live music is top-notch, adding to the vibrant ambiance. The staff was impeccable, and everything is well-organized and efficient. Highly recommended! Paulo Lopes 20/05
