Ocean Cafe (Sal)

A very popular cafe and bar located right in front of the main square at Santa Maria, Ocean Cafe is a lively place for an afternoon coffee or a drink after dark. Locals crowd the place in search of local beers and international cuisine, as well as for the regular live music, dancing and good vibes.

Pastries are particular highlights here, many following the Portuguese traditions, as are the jams ('doce') made from local exotic fruits, often served with goat cheese for dessert. There is a steadily increasing selection of cafes to be found in the major towns and near popular beach areas. Below are the best cafes in Cape Verde:
