Linha D’agua

Linha d’Água is a laid-back beachfront restaurant in Praínha, Praia, where the Atlantic is literally a few steps from your table. Wooden decks, white chairs and umbrellas, and the sound of the waves create a relaxed, holiday vibe that works just as well for a lazy lunch as for sunset cocktails. The menu leans into Cape Verdean flavours with plenty of fresh fish and seafood, hearty stews and simple grilled dishes, all served in generous portions that keep both locals and visitors coming back.

Here you can try traditional recipes like búzios (whelks) in rich stew, octopus dishes, pizzas to share and daily fish straight from the grill, alongside burgers, snacks and indulgent desserts. Drinks range from fresh juices and cold beers to well-made cocktails that pair perfectly with the sea view. Prices are surprisingly reasonable for such a prime “feet-in-the-sand” location, making Linha d’Água a good option if you want to eat well by the beach without blowing the budget.
