Why Travelers Love Hello Capitano
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Loved the place and one of the staff was Lebanese so he was super friendly and welcoming since we could speak Arabic although the whole staff were friendly honestly. I visited the place more than once during my stay in paje. At night, the service might be a bit slow but not too slow. I tried the beef burger and chocolate banana crepe. Prices are good. Portions are very satisfying and the taste was so good. Great vibes. Highly recommended. You can pay by card or cash. Amazing food, perfect location, and great and quick service! We already tried today grilled octopus, octopus salad, calamari, smoothie bowls, beef wraps, fresh mango juice and everything was extremely tasty! We’re definitely coming back!👌🏼 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem by the Sea! Absolutely loved this beach shack! The vibes were on point — laid-back, breezy, and just what you want by the ocean. The music added a perfect touch: chill enough to relax, but lively enough to keep the mood up. The food? Fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly well done for a shack setup. Everything from the food to the drinks was top quality and served with a smile. It’s the kind of place you stumble upon and end up staying longer than planned. Great atmosphere, great service, and seriously great eats. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a no-fuss, feel-good spot right on the beach. I’ll definitely be back!

I had the octopus bowl. it was delicious and fresh and the different fruits added to the bowl was so good. However, it was missing some flavor maybe some seasoning to give the dish a kick and the ratio of rice was too little. Overall, really enjoyed my time at this restaurant and the beach front view was amazing and to not be missed😍
