Great restaurant, the food is always good and at an affordable price for everyone. Congratulations on the quality of the food. I used to go to this restaurant before the pandemic and it continues to be of the same quality.#restaurant #homemadefood #costbenefit #arraialdocabo #arraial

The food here is wonderful, very well prepared, well served and served very quickly! We ordered breaded shrimp, breaded fish fillet, fried cassava or French fries, rice, beans or pirão and salad. It was delicious. I recommend it!

I ordered the Costela C/ Batata (short rib and potatoes I think) for lunch and it was really good! Nice amount of salad which is usually pretty lacking around here. Very satisfied.

The place is very well located, with a stunning view of Praia Grande! The service was great, the waiter was very polite and the food arrived super fast. We ordered a roast beef dish for two people, it came with rice, beans, farofa, salad, fries and cassava, and it was simply wonderful, the meat was very tender and tasty and the food had that home-cooked flavor with sensational seasoning. The dish is very well served, enough for 3 to 4 people to eat easily. I thought the price was fair for the abundance and quality, the dish drinks came to 130 reais!

My friends and I ordered the PF, and it was perfect, very well seasoned and everything was very clean. The portion is quite large, one plate is enough for two people if they are not very hungry. The atmosphere is calm and the service is very humanized and respectful. The price of the PF is very fair.
