We were staying at Ingleses beach and were looking for a place to eat a "sequencia" of shrimp. This…read moreplace was recommended by a local friend and also by Yelp and other sites. Went here for lunch during the week and the place was empty. The prices are on the high side since the restaurant is located in a very expensive area of the island and also they have got a few awards by Veja.

The Toca de Jurere in the Centro was closed for renovations at the time and since I was in town, I needed to get my fix in. My fix being the paella and the Bacalhau de Toca. At this time of the year, we needed reservations but we were able to score some earlier in the evening. The main problem that I have with this location is that it's so far out of the way and it's really really hard to find. Seeing how we were staying in the center of Floripa, the cab ride was quite long and seeing how it was New Years, the ride back was even longer. The good thing was that the food was fantastic and completely filled me up. I need to take a small nap after my girlfriend and I destroyed the Bacalhau de Toca and a bottle of wine. However, we did make it out for New Years later in the evening. For my review on the food, it is pretty much the same as the one in the center so I won't re-hash it but you can read it at: http://www.yelp.com/biz/restaurante-toca-de-jurer%C3%AA-florian%C3%B3polis I'll give the brief synopsis here: 1) Bacalhau de Toca is my go to dish here as the fish is cooked in a broth in a clay pot. 2) Paella is my second go to dish here 3) Bolinhos de bacalhau are a very good appetizer 4) I come to Toca de Jurere every time I am in town 5) I have never been disappointed by the food
