Agua na Boca

Why go there?

For a one-way trip to Cape Verde, at Agua Na Boca, at a stone's throw from Saint-Pierre place in Toulouse.

For Olivia, native of Cape Verde, who makes you discover the mix of Brasilian, African and Portuguese cultures.

Because Agua Na Boca doesn't overindulge on ethnic knicks-knacks, but offers a zen and simple setting with white walls, a customized bar and art exhibitions.

For its fan that warms up the air, just like on the islands.

For L'Agua Na Boca's bossa-nova and samba concerts.

To sip home-made exotic cocktails, such as punch and hibiscus rum.

With who?

A fan of mixed cultures.

The regulars

Toulouse's youth, dinners among girls, and Spanish tourists.

Must-Eat dishes

The Coconut and mango chicken ; the Moqueca, a Brasilian speciality ; the Cachuga, a Creole stew ; and for dessert, the Hibiscus madness, hibiscus sorbet sprinkled with red rum, or the Banana Delight.

The wines

A Portuguese wine, unless you prefer to sip a glass of home-made punch cocktail.

Best tables

On the high chairs at the bar, to have a quick bite to eat, at lunch ; or the tables settled under the fan, in summertime.
