Tam Tam is an Irish run pub. It serves lovely food and the drinks are priced fairly, but above all else, the service you'll receive here is fantastic! The couple that run it and their Cape Verdean staff cannot do enough for you! Nothing is too much trouble. They make you feel so welcome and like a part of the... More

We always enjoy our visits to Tam Tam where the Irish owners and their staff make every one so welcome. I thoroughly recommend Tam Tam which is a grand place for your morning coffee sat out front enjoying the street scene. Great food and a friendly atmosphere when holidaymakers and expats enjoy a drink make this an ideal place to... More

We enjoyed a welcome drink and a rest from the hot sun here. Though it was quiet when we were there, I'm sure it is a lively place in the evenings. We heard lots of good things about the Tam Tam bar from other guests who had been.

The atmosphere in there is very friendly and the service from its Irish owners and their local staff was amazing! There was never a table left dirty or an... More

What a real find, cannot speak highly enough of this charming little bar in Santa Maria. We stumbled across it with my husband and 3 year old son, the ladies who served us made so much fuss of our little boy we felt really at ease. The owners are so friendly and relaxed and just want you to have a... More

I Visited Sal with my girlfriend back in January, on a venture out of the all inclusive hotel I discovered Tam Tam bar. Well, what can I say, this place along with its owners the local expats and holiday makers and not forgetting the hardest working bar/kitchen staff in the whole island sort of made the holiday. At this bar,... More
