This was the most unwelcoming place we've been to in sal rei. Staff is totally uninterested, and when we asked if we could sit down to get something to eat. A vague gesture was made towards the table area. We found ourselves an emty table for two and sat down. After about a 10 minute wait a waitress appeared with a blank expression. We said we would like something to eat and if we could see a menu. After an other few minutes two tatty plastic folders where unceremoniously plonked in the middle of the table. After studying the various options in four different languages we settled on what appeared to be one of the house specialities. You know the one with a dedicated page of its own and a full colour photograph of what the dish should look like. When the waitress finally returned and we pointed at our order we where only met with an "unfriendly" smile and a shaking head. No explanation or alternative was suggested. So we didn't bother any further and got up and left. Nice place for a sunset, but you can see that from anywhere I would not recommend viewing it...

There were a few downsides, though: screaming children swimming right next to the outdoor seating area and lots of flies and other insects. If you eat outside, you have to deal with them. The people who work here also hardly speak English, so keep that in mind. Also, the kitchen closes at 4 p.m., so at 3:30 p.m. - upon my arrival - I had to choose what I wanted right away. Menus are only available in Portuguese and Italian. The waitress could have been much more patient and friendly, but again, the food tasted great, so I would still...
Read moreWorst restaurant experience in all Cabo Verde. We were there in the evening and asked for the menu and the guy told us that the kitchen was closed, but people were eating. We came back later and asked for the fried fish that we saw people eating when kitchen supposed to be closed and they told us it was finished. They didn't have a lot of things on the menu either... We ended up paying 700 escudos for 6 prawns. I didn't expect two dozens, but I didn't expect 6 frozen prawns either. Staff is rude. You can give your money to someone nicer and with better food, there is plenty of...
