The shrimp risotto was the real deal&mdash;creamy, packed with flavor. I paired it with a cold beer instead of wine, honestly the right call for a beach spot. Service dragged a bit, but the food kept me happy. Right on the sand, can&#39;t beat that view. 🍤

We sat right on the sand, which was nice. Food came out well-portioned and pretty tasty. Service was a bit slow though, they seem to be handling both the restaurant and the beach kiosks at the same time. Just don&#39;t be in a rush and you&#39;ll be fine. Decent spot for a relaxed meal.

The filet mignon baguette is so good, bread was fresh and the beef super tender. Got a Nutella croissant too, great combo for a chill afternoon with friends.

Nice garden setup, well thought out decor. They brought mosquito repellent to the table without asking&mdash;that was a smart touch. 👍

The colorful decor really stood out, way nicer than similar spots around here.

The passion fruit caipirinha really stood out&mdash;easily the best I&#39;ve tried. And the guava petit gateau was a nice twist, way more interesting than the usual chocolate one. Sweet without being too heavy. I&#39;d go back just for that dessert, honestly.

The pizza here is solid &mdash; thin, crispy crust, lots of toppings. That Catupiry cheese crust really stands out. Service was friendly too, and the beachfront view doesn&#39;t hurt.

Great live music spot. The Brazilian rock bands really bring the energy, drinks were solid too. Just gotta pay a cover on live music nights, kinda annoying but whatever.

The entrance fee is a bit steep, but the place itself is really nice. The pool area is surrounded by greenery, and the grilled fish was good. Portions are big enough for three, honestly. Just know you&#39;re paying for the vibe.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and ordered the fish moqueca. Came out fast, which I appreciated. Flavor was solid&mdash;rich, coconut-y, proper Northeastern style. The tomato salad with buffalo mozzarella on the side was fresh and simple. No complaints. Place was a bit busy but food made up for it. Good spot if you&#39;re in a hurry and want something tasty.

The pizza was just alright. Dough felt a bit like something you&#39;d grab at the store, and the cheese didn&#39;t do much for me. The place itself has a nice vibe though. I sat by the window and the service was friendly enough. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but I expected a bit more from the ratings.

The live music really stood out&mdash;that singer&rsquo;s voice is something else. Tapioca was just okay, but the artisanal sandwich was a bit better. Simple spot, decent vibe.

The grilled shrimp was fresh, really well seasoned. I liked that they had some lighter options on the menu, not just fried stuff. Sat by the water for a while, it was calm. Cocktail was good too, though maybe a bit sweet for me. Prices are fair for what you get.

The view from the terrace is unbeatable, right on the beach. We went around dusk and it was lovely, but those LED lights they turn on are way too bright, kinda kills the mood. I had the grilled fish, it was cooked well. Service was fine, nothing special. Just wish they&#39;d dim the lights a bit, would make the whole thing more relaxing.

Decent spot in Tamandar&eacute;. Had the fish in shrimp sauce &mdash; pretty good, and the portion was generous. Staff was friendly enough.

The food was tasty and the beach right there is gorgeous, but service was meh. Had to order at the counter and nobody checked on us. Still, the quiet vibe near the church makes it worth stopping by.

Came here after the boat tour and they let us in free since we booked through them. Pastel was fresh, coconut water ice cold. Wish they had more drink options though &mdash; a caipirinha would&#39;ve hit the spot.
