They serve mostly beers on the tap, but there are a few drinks or you can order some hard liquor. About the food, there are a bunch of cheeses and some seafood related entrées. I enjoy the fish and chips. Overall, a really pleasant place for a happy hour with your friends or to just have a few drinks with your SO. Also, they have a parking lot, something that nearly any restaurant in this city have.

The restaurants by the water all look the same and seem to serve similar food, we try a progression of shrimp for two at Sabor da Costa. The steamed shrimp are large and nice and unpeeled. The milanesa are tasty but contains the dirty string urk. The fried are very small and fried with the shells, way too crunchy for me. The sides are the usual white rice, beans, fajao. We are almost alone and get drunk on artesanal cachaça while having a great conversation with the waiter. The food is not memorable but the trip and the setting is well worth it at least in late October when it is not too warm and not too many people.

El Divino is one of the best nightclubs in Florianopolis. I have been here on numerous occasions…read moreand have never been let down. So the place is also a sushi restaurant so if you want to grab dinner, you can do it here before entering the night club. Once you are in for the dinner, then you are pretty in the night club. The night club is separated from the restauarant by a door so they open the door, you can stroll right in. That being said, the sushi is super expensive so be wary. However, nightclub wise, it's very good. They have a personalized VIP section where you can enter if you buy a VIP wristband at the bar outside of the club area (but still inside). The whole structure of this club is once you get through security, they check your id and you have to give them a credit card. They give you back a credit card and an El Divino card. DO NOT LOSE THIS CARD. This is the card that you use to pay for everything. When you want to leave, you go through the cash registers by the exit and they swipe your card to see how much you put on it. To get in usually costs between R$45-65 depending on the night. This is peanuts. So once you get into the VIP section, they have their own VIP bar where you can order drinks or get bottles. A bottle of champagne will run you a little bit north of R$125. They do have specials too where you can get a magnum, a regular bottle and 3 smaller bottles of champagne. I don't remember the price but it is not that expensive. Once the clubs open, this dancefloor becomes packed like hell and everybody is dancing. I like the VIP area a little better because you get a little bit more space to breathe but it's pretty much a night club atmosphere so you know what you're getting into. Overall, this is a very good club with good service and a lot cheaper than in the US.

Nice little seafood restaurant, located inside the "Costa Norte Hotel", in the "Ingleses Beach"…read more It's not a super fancy place, and the decor is a bit dated, but is right by the ocean, you get to choose between indoor and outdoor seating, both with a nice view of the sea, and they provide parking (lot across the street). The parking alone is a huge perk and was the decisive point for us, since pretty much all restaurants in the area do not have parking. Our server Amilton was good. We had the "Congrio à Fiorentina" for two, which costed about 140 reais and was more than enough food for two average adults. It wasn't cheap, but it was within the prices charged by other similar places in Florianópolis. Overall I had a good experience I would eat here again.

We found it on google, in the section "best restaurants in Florianopolis". We arrived around 7pm and were the only customers in the restaurant besides a large group which one in the other room of the restaurant. By the time we left, both rooms of the restaurant, the patio and the bar were all completely full, and a Brazilian jazz band was playing very nice music in the main room. For diner, got 2 pizzas, one with artichoke and one with 4 cheeses. Both of them were just amazingly good and tasty. For drinks, we got the home-brewed beer and a bottle of Cabernet. The restaurant was launching their home-brewed beers, and offering a 1 buy, 1 offer deal for the occasion. The beer was pretty interesting and refreshing. The best of the night was the deserts: we got the chocolate cake (with vanilla ice cream) and the Pineapple with cinnamon and sugar (forgot the name, sorry). Just unforgettable. The service was very good and fast as well: we did not need to speak English but they had an English menu in case you need it. The price was also very reasonable, less than 25$ per person. This restaurant completely deserves to be on the best restaurant list. You must try it if you are visiting Florianopolis.

The variety of pizzas will satisfy any taste, and the toppings are generous and it's truly a real authentic pizza crust. The quality of the toppings were excellent as was the dessert.
