A great place to eat local food and watch the world go by. Popular among expats and the local chess playing community.

Café Sofia

Cap Verdean cuisine, wide menu and large servings.

Restaurante Flor de Liz

In the city centre at the Hotel Felicidade. Open all day. Their buffet is popular with businesspeople.

Restaurante Panorama

Food and artisanal objects for sale from the early morning. It's a vibrant, colourful place worth visiting for every visitor, except that it's not a good place if you suffer from claustrophobia as it can get pretty crammed. Also, watch out for pickpockets.

Mercado Municipal

Reportedly good food in the city centre, but the service is slow as usual in Cape Verde. Occasionally live music.
