Casa Café Mindelo
A restaurant and guesthouse in an 1870 colonial building, offering harbor-view dining and live music almost every evening.
Restored from an 1870 colonial house, this establishment combines a guesthouse, café, restaurant, and bar, featuring a balcony and a rooftop terrace overlooking Porto Grande Bay. Dinner features tuna tataki, cachupa, pica pau, and flambéed sausage, with the menu written daily on a blackboard; local musicians perform after 20:00. Reservations are recommended for the evening. Prices are on the higher side for the area, and some find it touristy or the music a bit loud, but multiple reviews in 2026 remain positive. Credit cards are accepted, and it is within walking distance of the city center.
