BROCKTON — Brockton is steeped in Cape Verdean culinary traditions—from cachupa, cuscus and canja to fried pastels and bacalhau. The city is full of delicious dishes from restaurants across the city, and we want to know which Cape Verdean restaurant you think is the best!
The Enterprise is back with another dining survey and this time we want you to judge restaurants based on their overall experience, including the quality and taste of the food, service and atmosphere.
We’ve selected nine restaurants in Brockton that are known for their delicious Cape Verdean cuisine. Some restaurants have been in the city for decades, like Luanda, and others, like Salo Bar & Grill and Porton Di Nos Ilha, have only recently opened. Either way, residents fill the lines outside the restaurants and order unique Cape Verdean dishes that remind them of home.
There is a kind of nostalgia that takes you back to your childhood when you bite into food that reminds you of your mother’s dishes.
Here are the competitors, all located in Brockton: Cardoso Café, 146 Montello St.; Luanda Restaurant, 453 Centre St.; Malu’s Lounge, 23 Montello St.; Panorama Restaurant, 180 N. Main St. A; Porton Di Nos Ilha, 820 Main St.; Preto’s Island Cuisine, 250 Main St.; Salo Bar & Grill, 810 North Montello St.; Sodade, 1145 Main St.; and Sunset Café, 1110 Main St.
The survey is now open until Sunday, August 11th, 11:59 p.m. Let your sense of taste guide you.
And if you’re thinking, “Wait a minute, what about all the amazing Cape Verdean food at the local markets?”, then we have the answer for you. In an upcoming poll, we’ll be asking our readers which market offers the best Cape Verdean takeaway food. Stay tuned.
