Morabeza

We feed you like family

“Morabeza” is the Cape Verdean word for the warmth you feel when you walk in — it does not quite translate, but you taste it in the food.

From cachupa that simmers for hours to seafood pulled fresh, every plate is made for sharing. Sit down, eat well, and stay a while.
