Art Kafé

Santa Maria, Ilha do Sal

A colourful art café in Santa Maria serving specialty coffee, all-day breakfast, fresh baguettes, burgers and a full food menu with Cape Verdean and European flavours.

Art Kafé is a relaxed, creative café spot where locals and visitors meet over espresso, Caipirinha or an Island Breakfast Package. The menu is split between a bright daytime card in Cape Verdean Escudos — coffee, natural juices, breakfast bowls, pancakes, wraps and snacks — and an evening kitchen menu in Euros with starters, grilled fish, Xauxau rice, Katxupa, pasta, Art Kafé specials and desserts. The Zwart-witte drink menu adds a second Euro-priced drinks list with wines, grogue, cocktails and spirits. A perfect stop from morning coffee through sunset dinner.
