We offer a simple menu made with fresh, local ingredients—always cooked with love. Our dishes combine traditional Cape Verdean flavors with a touch of European influence.
You can enjoy meals like pork slow-cooked in red wine served on sweet potato purée, stewed octopus, a fish burger, or fresh tuna grilled on a hot stone.
WOW!! If you are in Tarrafal you must try this place. We stayed in Tarrafal for 7 nights and ate here 3 times- it was by far the friendliest and best restaurant in Tarrafal. The food was all amazing- the burger, pasta, tuna- and the chocolate mousse were all DELICIOUS! There are only 8 tables ( which is great) but you do need to book.
Beautiful small restaurant with amazing local food and really friendly staff. They also do great cocktails and there's various options for vegetarians (the pork without pork being my personal favourite)! :)
The food and service were excellent! I recommend booking a table early to enjoy the sunset with an amazing cocktail! Looking forward to visit again soon!More
