Small local kitchen in Santa Maria with a different home-cooked dish every single day — ask what's cooking today.
D Kel Bom is the kind of place locals love: there is no fixed menu, because the kitchen cooks something different every day depending on the fresh catch and market produce. One day it is grilled fish with rice and salad, the next a rich cachupa, a stew or a chicken plate. Turn up, ask what the dish of the day is, and eat like a Cape Verdean at a very fair price.
