It often feels mythical and very special to be in Africa, but sometimes it feels good to meet and exchange with other travelers, when you are in a non-touristic town like Mindelo on the island os S\u00e3o Vicente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only when I started visiting Mindelo, have I realized how huge our westerner coffee shop and restaurant culture really is – and that this is not so common among the natives. I had to first find “my” places, that gave me the comfort of home and contact with other travelers or foreigners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have met many other European and American travelers in Mindelo on the search for a restaurant or coffee to exchange with others, too. Therefore i am sharing the location of the few go-to places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La Pergola is also called “Centre Fran\u00e7ais”. It is a beautiful small restaurant and coffee, that unites the African spirit with a European cultural touch. It also holds a small library and is an excellent meeting point with other tourists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will always meet travelers and enjoy fresh fish or an extremely good breakfast within the green space, that has partly an open roof, like one “pergola”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
