It's hard to imagine a better, more authentic way to eat seafood than this. The restaurant is…read morelocated basically inside the fish market, and while it is clean and cozy, it is clearly a more humble setting than where you would expect to find some of the best seafood in the city. Don't let the simplicity of the setting fool you: you are about to eat a feast worthy of Poseidon himself. They have a platter you can order that will literally take up the entire table. It comes as a huge cast-iron griddle that is simply overflowing with lobsters, shrimp, salmon, various white fish, octopus, squid, mussels... Basically everything delicious you could imagine. The platter fed eight of is perfectly, and came in (including drinks) at about R$60 each. Not bad! The restaurant may be a bit hard to find. It's along the side of the big fish market. Just ask someone if you're having trouble finding it.

I'm only reviewing because I didn't want other yelpers be misguided as I was by the existing 5 star…read morereview. My wife and I came and ordered the 1/2 portion of the same dish as pictured by the 5 star reviewer who claimed it was enough to feed 8. It includes fish, shrimp, octopus, muscles, calamari, baked potatoes and rice. Well... We went for lunch and the 2 of us finished everything without problem and it was R240 plus 10% service fee without drinks. The food was good but nothing stood out and we both felt it would be much better value and experience at any of the top Brazilian steakhouses that cost around R120 per person.

This place is the kind of place that it looks good on the picture but really doesn't taste good…read more It's really far from Rio but really not worth the trip. The place is very empty, large space in the middle of nowhere, no one speaks English but they are very friendly and service is great. The paella looks amazing on the picture but it's really salty. The mussels are really uneatable. And the rice is really no flavor. The fried crab legs have no flavor. The whole meal is super u pleasant, can't finish the meal in the end.

And they have fresh coconut, served out of a coco. The juices were not freshly made here though, except maybe for orange juice. The service was a hit and a miss. Price was above average but not too much. After all, it is a popular place among these little islands. Accessible only by boat, which is a cheap ride.
