I ate here twice with my wife; the first time the food was an absolute disaster--her lamb was overcooked and my duck was raw. I offered to switch plates with her and the first thing I tried was the purée, which was ice-cold. I put my fork in another part, and out came a hair. I was done eating at that point. The service that day was very good, and the manager suggested that it was a one-off, and asked if I would come back another time and try them again. I did, to my regret. The second time, the service was absolutely appalling. I sat 35 minutes waiting for a server in between courses. I had to ask for the check 3 times so I could leave. The food, while improved from the first time (no hairs), was disappointing. My lamb, this time, was raw in the center; my wife's fish was uncooked in the center. The plating is also rather childish. Needless to say, I won't be eating here a third time.

We ate lunch at Gulliver Mar Restaurante, which is located on the oceanfront in Cabo Branco. The…read morerestaurant is upscale casual. The views of the beach of Joao Pessoa cannot be beat. The service was ok (my wife's drink order was forgotten), but the food was disappointing: we ordered the deep fried Camembert (which we had at Gulliver Restaurante and loved), but here it was served barely lukewarm, and lacked the melty texture that makes it so good; the squid rings were completely unseasoned. My wife also had the Provençal octopus, but it also lacked seasoning. I had the "peixe Gulliver" (fish Gulliver), which I assumed would be their signature dish. Firstly, they serve the main courses on very large square plates, so they have a lot of blank space to fill. On one side of the plate, they place a shrimp/rice/tomato "risotto", but the shrimp were uncleaned and the rice was a bit overcooked; the fish (I was told was grouper), was a sad, small, thin overcooked, unseasoned piece of fish--a complete disappointment. To top it all off, I had gum stuck under my table like a cheap diner. The price, while not heart-stoppingly high, was too high considering the quality of the items. We really enjoyed Gulliver Restaurante, and I really wanted to like Gulliver Mar Restaurante too, but I cannot say that I did.

This was my second visit to this very busy seafood restaurant and it was an utter disappointment…read more Their menu remains small, but this time, all of the food was completely flavorless--nothing was seasoned at all. I started with the crab stew, and it tasted like coconut milk and nothing else. The main course fish was also flavorless and a bit overcooked. It's still very loud, but the service is still pretty quick and inexpensive. Despite this, I won't be coming back here for a while--it's just not a place for someone who likes good food.

The ambience is attractive enough, with a great view of the beach right in front of the place. The service was very good as well. The food however, was mediocre. My "go-to" dish when visiting a beach bar here in Brazil are the ensopados (stews, usually seafood, crab, octopus, shrimp or clam); I gotta say I really did not like the ensopados we tried while here (too much dendê oil, not enough coconut milk). If in the area, I'd go back for a cocktail or a beer to enjoy the view, but I think I'd eat elsewhere.

They offer a pay by weight buffet with tons of variety of traditional, regional dishes and an a la carte menu. We did both. I had been dreaming of the creamy shrimp rice dish since I saw it online and it did not disappoint. My husband did the buffet and couldn't stop talking about lamb.

They do not have beer or alcohol, so...if you want to, you can't drink. I saw people taking food from the buffet with their hands, which, under current circumstances is horrible to imagine is happening. I really don't know why this restaurant is so famous. I would never take anyone here to eat, because it's a disappointment.
