Tam Tam Restaurante

Santa Maria beachfront, Ilha do Sal

Relaxed beachfront restaurant with strong coffee, cold beers, cocktails and a full grill menu — from tapas to grilled seafood and pasta.

Tam Tam Restaurante sits on the Santa Maria shoreline with a laid-back Cape Verdean atmosphere. The day starts with espresso and galão, the afternoon drifts into cold Strela and sangria, and the evening brings grilled fish, tuna, chicken, pasta and seafood rice. A wide spirits, cocktail and wine list makes it just as good for sundowners as for a full dinner.
