Caravela Mindelo
Restaurant
😠 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.

Marina Mindelo Floating Bar
Bar
🫤 Plastic decor catering to yachties and charter fishing boat crew. Convenience and location appear to be it's only redeeming features. Desultory service and sloppy presentation of dishes. Despite a local fish market overflowing with fresh tuna, there was none to be had off the menu. The grilled wahoo...
