👍👍 I stayed at the Budha Beach Hotel, so I ate at the restaurant every day. The food was amazing.

Art Kafé, Santa Maria
Restaurant
👍👍 Nice little restaurant, with cosy atmosphere, tucked away at the end of Santa Maria, far from the main street and the touristy area. We ordered the mix of tapas which was super filling (it came with veggies, bruschette, small fritters) and the cachupa as main dish. I am vegan, so I ordered the vegan...

IL FARO ITALIAN Restaurant & Pizzeria
Restaurant
👍👍 Been there twice and tried the both the pizza and the tuna steak. Both excellently done and the pizza is really Italian style. The vegetables that came with the tuna were just amazing in the way they were cut into thin slices.
Staff really friendly and I'll definitely come back again.

La Trattoria, café & Italian restaurant in Cape Verde
Restaurant
👍👍 We were here the first night after the renovation, and it seems that it was a successful one :)
The food was great all around, and we were all happy with our drinks. Another great Italian place in Santamaria! I had the gnocchi gorgonzola and it was one of the best Italian dishes I've ever had.

Meky's Burger Bar
Hamburger restaurant
👍 The only “elevated” burger experience in Sal as of September 2023. Pricy but worth the value and quality! Their rendition of the Big Mac is tasty and their house sauce just supplements it quite well.
The chips and fries are crispy on the outside and just the right cook. I did a take out order and t...

The food is simply delicious, spicy enough 😊👌 and with a fair price, and the service is better than good. The weiters are all nice...

Marea
Restaurant
🫤 My beef was good but my friend ordered slow cooked cow cheeks. The meat tasted really bad, like liver. Presentation was very poor, just mushed potatoes and tasteless spoon of some veggies. Not recommended. Super pricy! Definetly not the best restaurant in Sal. Very dissapointed since this was suppos...

Cham
Restaurant
👍👍 A great local find. Just 3 dishes of the day. Grilled fish, chicken & a tuna and chickpea salad. Our Creole was clearly useless as we ordered one chicken with chips and one tuna and chickpea. We got two chicken with boiled potatoes and other veg. Looked good, so we didn't change and it was very...

Baraonda
Italian restaurant
👍👍 We came here in June after being recommended by family who frequently dine here. We can see why! The owner was very welcoming, the food was delicious (best bruschetta I’ve ever had!!) and the service was perfect. We will definitely come again when we’re back in Cape Verde! Thank you

One of the highlight...

👍👍 When you are at Santa Maria, Sal (Cabo Verde), you have to visit Bom Petisk.
We followed a recommendation by a local barkeeper, and it was great.
At Bom Petisk they offer local food at an excellent price. We had tuna pasta and grilled wahoo – it was fantastic. After the food we had some coffee which...
