Stopped by for a quick lunch and grabbed the grilled shrimp. Cooked right, nice char on it. Place sits right by the beach, so the view helps. Service was on point, didn&#39;t have to wait long for the food. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something fast without the fuss.

Food was solid, service quick enough. Place is a bit cold though, AC was blasting the whole time. Wish I&#39;d brought a hoodie. Got the pasta and it did the job, nothing crazy but I left full. Fine for a casual stop if you&#39;re in the area.

Been coming here for a while now. The Northeast flavors stay consistent, which is why I keep going back. Place gets packed though, so I try to show up before the rush. Staff&#39;s always been decent to me, nothing fancy but they get the job done. If you know what you want, it&#39;s a solid spot.

Came for the Friday exec lunch. R$99 for three courses, that&#39;s solid. Dessert was the highlight, honestly better than places charging double. Felt fancier than the price.

We came back for our anniversary and J&acirc;nio remembered us from last time. That alone got me. He picked the wine again and it matched the food perfectly. Service like that is why we keep returning. Place gets busy but he always checks on us. Just a solid spot we trust.

The view really is something else. We grabbed a table right as the sun was starting to go down, and honestly, that alone made it worth stopping. Portions were pretty decent for what we paid, too. My only tiny complaint, the closing time on Google said one thing, but they started cleaning up way earlier. Kind of rushed us at the end. Still, a nice spot. 🌅

Menu&rsquo;s got some different stuff beyond the usual Mexican spots, but they still do the classics right. Service was on point too. The Ponta Negra location makes it easy if you&#39;re around the area.

Buffet&#39;s decent when they run out of pizza, salads are fairly priced. Staff gave my kid dough to play with, nice touch.

Best meal I had in Natal, hands down. The staff let us chill way longer than we should&#39;ve after paying, which I really appreciated. 😅

The steaks were solid, and being right by the ocean makes it worth the stop. I&#39;ve been a few times now and the quality stays consistent.

Been here a few times now. The rod&iacute;zio is the way to go if you want a proper steak&mdash;the a la carte stuff is kinda hit or miss honestly. Buffet&#39;s got a decent spread too. Staff were friendly enough, kept the meat coming without us having to chase anyone down. Place gets busy around dinner but it&#39;s fine. Not the cheapest spot in the neighborhood but you get what you pay for.

The truffle pasta was the real deal. Creamy, earthy, not shy with the shavings. Got it for a decent price too. Portion was fair, left full but not stuffed. Nothing fancy about the place, but the food did the talking. Would eat that again.

The gorgonzola and red onion bruschetta was the highlight for me&mdash;really tasty. My calzone though? Kind of bland and way too big to finish. Cozy place, staff were nice. Wish they had more veggie options that aren&#39;t just pizza though.

Been coming here for years. Pizza&#39;s still the best around, no question. Back balcony tables have a nice view if you get there before dark. Rodizio&#39;s a solid deal when you&#39;re starving.

The caipirinha with cashew, lemon, and rapadura is something else&mdash;so flavorful, I almost forgot about the food. But the gnocchi were really good too, probably the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while. Place was a bit busy, but worth it for that drink alone.

Came here for the buffet, left feeling full but my wallet a bit lighter. It&#39;s not cheap for a self-service spot, that&#39;s for sure. But the range is impressive&mdash;Japanese, Italian, local stuff all in one place. I stuck to the sushi and some pasta, both were decent. If you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t mind spending a bit more, it does the job.

The carbonara was spot on&mdash;creamy and rich, exactly how I like it. Place is simple but cozy, staff were nice too.

The paella for two was massive, honestly could&rsquo;ve fed four of us. For the price, that&rsquo;s a solid deal. Service kept up even with our big group.

Stopped by for a quick lunch, place has that old-school feel but they&rsquo;re trying to update things a bit. Owner was friendly, no complaints there. Portions are solid for what you pay, left full. It&rsquo;s a bit rough around the edges, nothing fancy, but I&rsquo;d come back if I&rsquo;m in the area and hungry.

The chef actually took care with my gluten-free plate &mdash; didn&rsquo;t feel like an afterthought. Nice vibe too, pretty chill spot.

The octopus and moqueca were really good, no complaints there. But what stuck with me was the seating area&mdash;just a few tables, super cozy, felt like eating at someone&#39;s home. We almost didn&#39;t get a spot, so booking ahead is a must. Service was warm too, but honestly the vibe alone made it worth the trip to Galinhos.

Nice view and quiet vibe. Moqueca was solid, well-seasoned. Service kept things moving without hovering. Acaraj&eacute; as starter worked fine. Good spot if you want a relaxed dinner without fuss.

We actually ended up here twice during our stay in Pipa. The meat was the highlight for sure &mdash; juicy, smoky, cooked just right. Tried their pasta on the second visit too, pretty solid. Service was friendly but a bit slow when it got busy. Prices fair for what you get. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Friendly staff, and they actually let me swap a couple things on the menu without fuss. Food was solid, nothing crazy but hit the spot. Place got a bit loud later though.

The handmade pasta is legit. Cooked perfect, sauce was on point. They give you bread with eggplant spread first, that was a nice touch. Place was decent, nothing fancy. Would come back for the pasta alone.

The view from the pool area really makes this place stand out. We grabbed a table right before sunset and it was hard to focus on the food at first. Had the grilled fish and it came out juicy, well seasoned. Prices are fair for what you get, especially with that scenery. Only thing is the service gets a bit slow when it fills up. Still, I&#39;d come back for the vibe alone.

Got the 40-piece combo for R$179. Price was decent for what you get. Rolls ran a bit small though, kinda left me wanting more. Still, can&#39;t complain too much for the price. Solid spot if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t wanna break the bank.
