Fish fresh from the ocean, familiar environment, friendly staff, generous portions and great food!…read moreThis place is a must go!

I loved this place so much I came back a second time before I had to leave Niteroi. The food is…read moreamazing. And so is the service.... and the view at sunset. I drew a picture of a fish because I speak no Portuguese and was rewarded with a whole fish expertly grilled over a wood and coal fire. The fish was filleted by the waiter and served with rice and local sauces flavored with an olive oil that I can not remember having the pleasure to taste in the U.S. A simple meal on many levels, but fresh and expertly cooked without unnecessary embellishment. I dined overlooking a dirt road and a river, while watching the sun set and distant lights flicker on....as the herons flew in to roost for the night. Lovely. Perfect. .....and I should add in the off season (July 2014 days after the World Cup ended) I dined here alone.....The only patron in the restaurant. What a gift I stumbled upon, but the food, location and experience is so wonderful...others must experience it. If you are staying on the Rio de Janeiro side and if you are a true foodie and don't mind having to spend some time getting the experience and the food you want it is worth taking a bus to the ferry and then getting a taxi to Chale Canoa and back. Worth every penny spent on the transportation.
