The best restaurants Calhau

In a landscape made of rocks and dirt, a little in the middle of nowhere, stands the Hamburg, a small traditional restaurant, with kitsch decoration, which offers good fish. After a walking tour of the volcano, it is nice to have a drink to relax in this blue house. However, take your time because the wait is often long, but the copious dishes (a tasty moray eel for example) come to compensate for what is seen as an inconvenience for some, normality for others. Good value for money.

If you're short of inspiration on a Sunday, when almost everything is closed, head to Calhau for the Chez Loutcha buffet. This is a familiar meeting place for lovers of local cuisine, in a festive atmosphere, with live music and the sea as a backdrop. Cape Verdeans and tourists alike are always keen to take part in the experience, eat well and, above all, dance to African rhythms. To reach the place, it's very easy: a shuttle is available free of charge, like a Sunday excursion.
