What to expect

You'll enter a completely different world by meeting a local family at their eating table in a unique a cultural food adventure. Each meeting is personal, with only your own family/party and the local family.

After meeting the local family and having your first drink, you'll start assisting the family with preparing the meal. You may also simply enjoy the process by just watching, making notes and taking pictures which is also possible. All local families speak at least some basic English, which gives you the possibility to chat and learn about daily life in this country. Talk with the host family about anything you'd like to know, including sharing some things about yourself and your home country. Most local families find it very interesting to hear about other cultures as well!

By doing this you help in an accessible and fun way to make the lives of local families a little easier. Travel with a cause has never been easier and more fun! Travel for a Cause is 100% guaranteed, while the experiences are World Fair Trade Organization accredited.

  • there is a minimum of 2 guests per booking

    The family were really friendly and accommodating and the food was lovely however for the price of the excursion it was not good value for money. There was just one course and no drinks offered.

    I enjoyed eating with the family. They were very friendly and we sang and ate together like we were old friends. The only thing I didn’t like was waiting for the host to meet me. I think it would be better if they met me at the hotel. I waited at the post office in a strange place and felt a bit anxious. I think it’s a great idea as you get to learn a lot about Cape Verde from a local.
