We came to eat lunch here after not having been here for a long time and I was a bit disappointed…read more Dona Branca used to be a great restaurant with a very large cachaça menu, various infused cachaças, live music on the weekends & a cool vibe, but now it's become just another buffet restaurant. The very large cachaça menu is gone and the décor has a cafeteria feel to it now. Instead of being a unique place, they've changed to a mediocre place to eat. Maybe they'll make more money, but for me, it's lost its charm and is no longer a destination I'd go out of my way to eat at.

Nice big lively place to be on a Saturday evening. They have music, sports on big screen TV's and…read morehappy hour until 7:30 everyday. Can't remember what time it starts, I think 3:30. Food is pretty good. We had appetizers and drinks first, then finished off with a large pizza. One of the better pizzas I've tasted while here in Brazil. Brush upon your Portuguese because no one spoke English here. Lucky for us, we speak Spanish, so we can get by a little, plus we learned a little bit of Portuguese. Makes it easier if you learn and understand the basics to get around, plus I think it shows respect when you at least try. All in all, this is a good place to be while in João Passoa. Lots of beautiful women here, so if single, you're in heaven. Again, Portuguese will help. Only negative if you even want to think of it as a negative, this place is a little pricey. Especially when they automatically charge a fee for the entertainment and factor in the tip. To us it was okay, we paid extra for a great time. O Brasil é muito bonito, eu quero voltar um dia. Obrigado aos nossos amigos da América do Sul em João Passoa Brasil, tivemos um grande momento.

After a very long time, we returned to this beach bar and I was so pleasantly surprised! They have…read morea great location, and the service was very good (thanks Ailton!); the lobster was prepared perfectly! The champagne was served cold and the price was very reasonable (they even gave us champagne glasses with a strawberry in each one!). I really had a great time here today and I'd definitely come back!
