The baked coconut candy is seriously good, best I&#39;ve tried. Just heads up, samba nights get crazy loud and the cover charge ain&#39;t cheap. 🥥

Robson knew the menu well and picked a good wine to go with our meal. Service was the best part, honestly. Food was decent too, nothing fancy but solid. Place had a nice buzz without being too loud. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get, but I&#39;d come back.

The service really stood out here. They kept checking on us and made sure the meat kept coming without us having to ask. The beef was super tender, especially the picanha. Staff were patient even when my Portuguese got shaky. Only thing is it gets busy around 8pm, so expect a bit of a wait for refills.

The Royal Salmon is a weird one &mdash; grilled salmon with black rice, shrimp, tangerine sauce, and chocolate liqueur. The rice didn&#39;t do it for me, but the salmon itself was cooked right and that sauce carried the whole plate. I&#39;d skip the rice and just get extra sauce.

The grilled octopus was spot on. Tender, smoky, just enough salt. Ate it right by the beach, no complaints about the food at all.

Came for the beer, left satisfied. Nothing fancy, just a straightforward spot that does its thing right. Had a couple of pints and the service was fine, no complaints. Prices are decent too. Pretty good if you just want a relaxed drink without any fuss.

The caipirinha was spot on for a hot day, and that ocean view at sunset is hard to beat. Menu has plenty of options, though I wish they had more fresh veggie sides. Service was quick and friendly.

The grilled fish was solid&mdash;cooked well and the portion easily fed two of us. Salad on the side was fresh too. Nothing fancy, but for a straightforward, filling meal it hit the spot. Service was fine, no complaints. Good enough if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple.

We stayed near Luzeiros hotel and found this place about a 200m walk. Staff were really patient with us since we don&#39;t speak much Portuguese. Prices run a bit higher than average, but honestly the portions are massive. One plate was enough for two people, no problem. I appreciated that they didn&#39;t rush us at all. Comfortable spot if you&#39;re staying in the area and want a relaxed meal.

Decent spot along the waterfront. Less crowded than the other kiosks, which I appreciated. View was nice and the music wasn&#39;t too loud. Pretty good for a relaxed afternoon.

The shawarma here is seriously good. Probably one of the best I&#39;ve had in the city. Place is nothing fancy, just a few tables and bright lights, but you don&#39;t come for the vibe. Meat was juicy, not dry at all, and the garlic sauce was on point. Gets busy around lunch, so you might wait a bit, but it&#39;s worth it.

The a&ccedil;a&iacute; was really good, nice and fresh. Price per kilo is a bit steep though, more than I usually pay around town. Still, hit the spot.

The place is clean and roomy, lunch menu was kinda short when I dropped by. Got the pasta, seasoning was on point and came out fast. Solid spot.

Been coming here for a while now, and the prime cuts are still the reason I keep going back. Cooked exactly how I asked, every time. Buffet&#39;s got a decent spread too, seafood and sushi if you&#39;re into that. Service was on point tonight, never had to wait long for anything. Solid spot if you know what you want.

Came for the beach view, stayed for the food. Everything tasted fresh, like real ingredients, not the usual tourist trap stuff. Had breakfast there and it was solid, nothing fancy but hit the spot. Right on the sand, so you can&#39;t beat the location. Maybe a bit pricey but you&#39;re paying for the spot.

Service was quick, food came out fast. Had the picanha and it was decent, though I gotta say I was a bit surprised they charge extra for farofa and vinaigrette. Kinda expected those to come with the plate. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind. Place was busy but we got our orders quick.

Came for the meat skewer, left happy. Arrived sizzling and the portion was solid for sharing. The Maria Isabel rice on the side was a nice touch.
