The best take-away restaurants São Vicente

Right in the historic center, housed in one of the island's oldest colonial houses, Metalo, with its La Scène M space, offers an authentic culinary and musical experience in the heart of Mindelo. You can discover the very essence of Cape Verdean culture in the grogues bar. The cuisine features 100% local produce for tasty, unique dishes. With live music performances every day, you can enjoy an immersive experience in the heart of São Vicente, combining tasting and discovery.

Elvis Gomes and Zoé run a crêperie-bar on the beach, a kind of cabanon that enjoys a perfect oceanfront location. The place is ideal for kitesurfers and hikers looking for a break after the joys of sport. Generous and attentive, Elvis concocts tasty snacks such as chocolate banana pancakes, as well as more substantial dishes (grilled fish, octopus, moray eel...), all at very reasonable prices. You'll appreciate this moment of peace overlooking the sea, with your toes fanning out in the sand.

It's no coincidence that Italians, specialists in ice cream, are frequent visitors to this artisanal gelateria. It has to be said, too, that the owners are experts in the field. The range of flavors on offer is extensive (morango sorbet, coffee, tropical fruit and tutti quanti), available individually in cones or in the form of blended cups with a variety of homemade toppings. But you can also find other sweets (cocada, pastel de nata) to enjoy at any time of day with a cup of coffee.
