This restaurant sits right on the beach in front of the lighthouse of the beach town of Porto de…read moreGalinhas, which is a major tourist destination in the northeast of Brazil. The restaurant is separated into 3 separate seating areas around an open-air courtyard, so you have your choice of different ambiences. The menu seems to have an Italian flair, but seafood is the main attraction. I was really expecting more from both the flavor and the plating, which was rather pedestrian. We started with a seafood gratin, which was pretty good. The main courses were less good...I had fish Fiorentina, which was an overcooked, underseasoned piece of fish covewith mashed potatoes and spinach (neither of which were seasoned at all). The fact that the fish was tiny didn't bother me because it was so tough, but they covered it with so much puree that I was expecting something larger. I'm usually a fan of puree, but not this one. It was still better than the fish. My wife had the Fish & Shrimp à moda do Farol. The shrimp were nicely done, but the fish was a salty as could be and was over-cooked as well. Both main dishes were a disappointment. The check only came to US$56 with the tip, but for Brazil, for the quality of this meal, this was expensive.
