Restaurants cuisine d'Afrique Santiago

Without a doubt one of the most fashionable restaurants in Tarrafal, Maracujá, with its fruity connotations, honors local cuisine with a touch of French inspiration. This is not surprising since the friendly owner lived in Marseille for several years. Octopus, tuna and fish of the day can be found on a sober menu, but it is aimed at all palates. In the evening, several cocktails are suggested including the succulent Brazilian caipirinha , with passion fruit of course. Live music on Saturday night for a lively atmosphere, just the way we like it.

If you're looking for bling-bling, don't go there: Campanas is the opposite. It is a highly popular address, not (yet) touristy, with a terrace and a small room quickly invaded by a local population in need of meetings and agape. But above all by those who want to dance, have fun, sing, or even take up an instrument to participate... all in an overexcited atmosphere. With a little luck, you will have the opportunity to see the famous Nho Nany who performs there on weekends. On the kitchen side, African flavors on the menu.

Perched atop the eponymous guesthouse, this restaurant offers magnificent sea views, especially as the sun sets. The large terrace is perfect for two, groups or families, with cocktails and generous dishes. Fish lovers will love the tuna steak on hot stone, one of the highlights of the menu. The menu also features meats, salads, burgers and pastas, not to mention vegetarian options. A warm welcome and a good time ahead.

To try it is to adopt it. That seems to be the opinion of many loyal customers of this restaurant run by the affable Luis. Specialities? Colorful dishes based on grilled lobster and shrimp, served in contemporary tableware. And for vegetarians, crispy rice with vegetables presented in the form of skewers... you'd be wrong. Wooden tables set on the cobblestones, invasive plants, but not too many, the perfect setting for a delicious moment in a place heavily steeped in history.

Taking a well-deserved lunch break and relaxing in a lush green setting is just what you've been longing for. Conveniently located at the end of your hike in the Serra Malagueta park, or at the end of the road if you're traveling by car, you'll meet Marcolina, who's busy cooking up pizzas, fried doughnuts, fish or chicken dishes accompanied by vegetables and rice. Choose from the menu of the day, which includes a drink, dessert and coffee. Good to know: even the bread is homemade.

A vast terrace, a predominantly female team who will grace you with a broad smile and little attentions throughout your meal, it doesn't take much to have a good time. Not forgetting, of course, what's on the plates. These include grilled octopus cooked to perfection, fish fillets with colorful vegetables, the famous Cape Verdean fried moreia , poached pears or flans dripping with caramel for dessert - in short, "dilizia di casa" (the delights of the house)... quite a program!
