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.

Without a doubt the best restaurant in barra da lagoa. They have chicken milanesa and a beef dish…read morebut this is a seafood restaurant and the rest of the menu is imported and local fish and seafood prepared traditionally but with a lot care and love. We have a chilean salmon fried with herbs and served with rice and steamed legumes - potatoes, carrot and broccoli. It is not fantastic but very nice, for me the salmon is a little over cooked and the flavor could have been higher but it is a nice piece of fish and we are happy. We do not try any dessert but they have a few options. They also have good coffee, we try a nice normal Brazilian and a strong colombian.

One if the few restaurants here open for lunch, as most serve just dinner. Several great oyster choices. We like the raw ones and the Ostras a Vila, sautéed in olive oil and garlic. Our Bacalao (salt cod) was perfect, with roasted potatoes and broccoli. Finished with some Pasteis de Nata and espresso. Glad we came here, and especially glad we ate outside in the shade on this beautiful day.

They have a different menu for lunch and dinner, although the place I got directions from only listed the lunch hours. I got the -PRINCIPAIS (1 CORTE + 2 GUARNIÇÕES) which is one main course with 2 sides. I chose the picanha with morrones con queso (peppers w/ cheese) and batatas fritas as my sides. The steak was seasoned well and cooked just right. The grilled peppers w/ cheese were excellent and fries nice and crispy. I ended my lunch with flan con dulce de leche which was decent. There was a nice casual atmosphere and the employees were very nice and friendly. We had a nice conversation with my limited Portuguese and (mostly) their English. I would recommend dining here when you are in town.
