We had to wait for a long...long time. The waitress did not understand much English. I ordered a tropical salad for a starter and it took almost 35 minutes before it was served. It was some tomato,goat cheese, papaya, and a lot of Tuna box...meat. Tasted awaful. Then I was getting chicken chop sue. It did not look like any thing closed to a chop sue. My wife had some chicken wings which was Ok. She ordered spaghetti which was not on the menu, and she got exactly cooked soaghetti nothing more. I strongly recommen NOT to go to this resturant for food. The hotel opposite Ouril have excellent food .Some more expensive but it is worth it. Paying for food You can't eat is not smart. "Dokas" is good for a drink but that is all.More

It was indeed a great pleasure to enjoy brunch overlooking Mindelo's marina at the Dokas restaurant. The Dokas team are efficient and friendly, and their vegetarian options were delicious -- pumpkin soup and an amazing vegetarian fried rice with lots of veggies including string beans,...zucchini, red pepper, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.. There are nice indoor and outdoor seating options -- I chose to sit it the sunshine above the marina dock, but there was a large covered space with a great view as well. I definitely look forward to returning to Dokas!More

Expect a slow service (like almost anywhere else in this country though). But after that, the food was great. We had cachopa and a seafood (bufia) dish. We sat in the sea level floor, with nice views and without wind exposure.

They must have had a bad day. Only a few people in the restaurant. It took more than a hour to get the first course, which was okay in taste. The main courses weren't. The fish and seafood were overcooked and dry. The prawns weren't...fresh. One meal was forgotten. The sides were cold and tasteless. However the three server had a fun evening on their own phones. The prices are fair.More

A lovely little bar right on the water. Nice atmosphere with locals and tourists coming off boats and diving trips. We particularly enjoyed some large g&ts and the snack food (octopus starter and fish bites). Would visit again :)

The restaurant itself is presented very nicey with a more formal setup and loads of glazing giving views across the Marina. Don't be put off by the takeaway style vinyls in part of the window! Staff were friendly and very attentive, always swift to give...you a hand and clear the table. We chose Octopus and Parrot Fish. Both were presented well and very tasty. The price was extremely reasonable as well.More

The food here was great. My partner is not a fish eater, so finding something for him in Mindelo was challenging. However his pork rib was tasty, if challenging to eat. My fish selection was wonderful. We drank some lovely wine, so nice in fact...that we had a second bottle while sitting and soaking up the general ambiance. Excellent food and good value for money.More

This restaurant is in a great position with good views over the harbour. We enjoyed excellent service, but the restaurant was not at all busy. The food was very good, but the prices were on the high side.

The views through the glass-fronted building over the harbour were splendid even at night (we went back next afternoon for a drink at the bar below to enjoy it some more). The meal was fine and the service was OK even though there was a...big partying group. I was very happy that they prepared a plainly grilled local parrot fish for me rather than the breadcrumbed one advertised. It wasn't as busy as I'd expected. I suspect it's still finding its feet and people need to be sure it will be good as it's a bit away from the main restaurant area. It also isn't very clearly labelled from all angles - we thought it was a dive centre and nearly turned back!More
