Our Heritage

Family, sea, and tradition

Since 2008

Cham started as a small family-run eatery on the shores of Santa Maria. Today, it's a destination for travelers and locals alike, known for authentic Cape Verdean hospitality and innovative seafood dishes.

We work directly with local fishermen, farmers, and artisans to bring you the freshest ingredients. Our kitchen is open, our hearts are warm, and our welcome is genuine.

Come share a meal with us – you'll leave as family.
