“ Fantastic food - but be ready to wait a looooonng time for the food, it’s cooked fresh but it’s all on local timing Great ambience with live music. We loved the food. ”
“ Great food, great service, chill love music. we loved the seafood rice stew (arroz do mar)! We also tried the purple liquor.. special for this state, taste good. Staff was very nice and patient too. She turned on the AC and she saw me fanning with hands. I would recommend this place. ( Washroom is clean too, bonus ) ”
“ In the heart of São Luís, this vibrant, centrally located spot caught my eye with its colorful decor. The camarão and cupuaçu were outstanding, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend! ”
“ Pro: food was great and the serving staff was great Cons: we waited a full hour before getting our food and the music (that was being played live from outside) was wayyy too loud (even though we were inside) I would come back here despite the cons ”
“ What a cafe ! Right in the heart of the historical centre at Sao Luis, lies this restaurant that serves some amazing cuisine and drinks. A huge indoor and outdoor seating, this is definitely a to-go place. The portion size is very good. So if the menu recommends for 2 people, it could easily serve 3. Food preparation takes an hour and that’s because it’s freshly prepared. Under the colourful plastic sky, this is one of the best meals in recent times. ”
