Food to eat while standing there or to take away. Everything is freshly prepared, healthy and very quick. You will find there fresh juice from most of the existing fruits, pastries, filet mignon sandwiche among others. Excelent place to go after the beach. Very informal. You must try AÇAÍ, which is an amazon fruit blended with Guaraná, another typical amazon fruit, and is made to eat with a spoon as it comes almost frozen, very similar to an ice cream, but natural and healthy without the additions an ice cream has. It can be mixed with fresh fruits like banana, strawberry, honey etc.

One of the best tap beer in town and great caipirinha. Belmonte is a typical Brazilian bar where you will find sandwich, typical Brazilian food and other dishes with meat, chicken and fish. Everything is really tasty and nothing really night. Great for after beach and if you are not counting calories! Casual and good place to go after beach.

Typical Northeast Brazilian food. You can eat a shrimp dish that might come inside a coconut or a pumpkin, which are really delicious. You can also try many different flavors of caipirinha / caipiroska, very typical Brazilian drink made of cachaça or vodka with fresh fruit squeezed. Also, you should try their “Bolinho de Feijoada”, a cake that has feijoada inside (typical Brazilian dish made with black beans) and comes with a little shot of lime caipirinha. Casual and good place to go after beach.

One of the best japanese food in town. They don’t serve all you can eat, but have the best menu with many different dishes, not only traditional sushi and sashimi. It can be rated as an expensive option and should be booked if one does not want to wait in line, specially durinf weekends and at night.

Sofisticated restaurant with a diversified menu where you can find sea food, meat and chicken. You can sit by the bar and watch the chef working on the grill. I would highly recommend the tuna fish, my favorite there.
