The best take-away restaurants Cape Verde

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.

Looking for a vacation in Sal, away from the big resorts? To enjoy the island and its beaches in peace and quiet, and to see things from a different angle. There's a little corner of paradise hidden away in the bay of Murdeira: a bar-restaurant for a quick bite to eat, walks along the seafront, water sports, or simply relaxing in a little haven of peace. Enjoy the calm of the waves, admire one of the most beautiful sunsets on the island. And that's not all: 2 villas with sea and pool views are also available.

Sun terrace, just above the beach of Quebra. Ideal for a drink or eating on the thumb. Good pizzas.

These are the two city service stations. But it is also the meeting place for all Cape Verdeans and drivers in the morning to take their breakfast and coffee, which is more than correct.

A bakery-pastry shop (and delicatessen) run by Portuguese people where you can have breakfast or a coffee with a pastel de nata. The bread is very good, fresh and available in several varieties. The perfect place for a meal on the run or a quick snack, with all kinds of toast on the menu (chicken, cheese, vegetarian), the famous bifana dish, the king of Portuguese snacks, hamburgers and sandwiches freshly made to order. On the strength of its success, the chain has several addresses in town, which are very popular with young people.

Have you had the chance to eat at Américos in Santa Maria and want to extend the experience? Or simply have one last snack before you take off? You'll find a snack service and hot dishes before check-in. A new lounge restaurant has recently opened in the international zone, just past the police station. An open space to relax before leaving the island of Sal, with a Cooking Show, a pizzeria and a wide variety of sandwiches.

A bakery, but not only, because at any time of the day, we serve you a home-made cachupa worthy of the name, perfect for the small hollows, or the dish of the day. The bread rolls are available in all their forms, with seeds or flavored with onion, carrot, chorizo or cinnamon, leaving room for creativity. Thick banana cakes, creamy custards, candied fruit cakes and Portuguese pastéis de nata share the window, on the greedy side.

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.
