The Sal Beach Club is a laid-back beach establishment serving quick lunches, comfort food, great snacks, and even western-style breakfasts. It doubles as a sports bar and often screens important events on its large TVs. At night, the place really comes alive with food, music, parties, and diverse events.
Dining
Seafood abounds in Cape Verde, with delicacies like grilled lobster, tuna, and octopus featuring on most menus, as well as Creole and Portuguese specialities. 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.
