Cabo Cafe & Restaurant (Boa Vista)

Cabo Cafe & Restaurant is an Italian-run establishment, but the menu offers a diverse array of options, including creative takes on local delicacies and even sushi (the tuna comes very highly recommended). With beautiful setting and decor, and a lovely atmosphere, it's one of the best places for dinner on the islands.

The most representative typical dish is the 'cachupa' (pictured above), a filling mix of maize, beans, sweet potato and chicken or meat. The larger towns offer an increasingly wide variety of restaurants and cuisines, but on smaller islands, many places will be limited to the lunch of the day ('prato do dia'), which usually includes the freshest catches.
