🍛 For an Unforgettable Dinner

Lua e Mar: One of the most traditional spots on the island. Their candlelit tables on the sand provide the perfect setting to try their famous Fish Moqueca with Plantains. A true local masterpiece!
Restaurante Canoas: A classic beachfront choice! Known for its generous portions and authentic Brazilian flavors, it is the perfect place to enjoy a traditional seafood platter or a fresh catch of the day while watching the boats in the bay.
La Parrilla: A favorite for those who love variety. Right in the heart of the village, it offers a fantastic mix of grilled meats, fresh seafood, and Argentinian-style steaks. The outdoor seating is perfect for people-watching in the main square.
Casarão: A great spot offering more diverse options, from fresh seafood to meat and pasta, catering to all tastes in a friendly atmosphere.

🍝 Unique Flavors

Las Sorrentinas: If you’re looking to switch things up from seafood, this charming spot specializes in artisanal stuffed pasta (sorrentinos). The rustic atmosphere, divine pasta, and top-tier caipirinhas make it a traveler favorite.
Bougainville: A fantastic choice for those looking for a more affordable option without compromising on flavor, located right in the center of the village.

🍸 Beach Bars & Casual Vibes

Pé na Areia: The go-to spot for late afternoons and evenings. With beautifully lit trees and live music, it’s the perfect place to enjoy appetizers and cocktails while feeling the ocean breeze.
Júlia Surtô: Located at the lovely Praia da Júlia (a short walk from the center). Perfect for a relaxed lunch between swims, offering excellent fried calamari and creative signature cocktails.

💡 Parrot’s Pro-Tips for Travelers:

Reservations: During holidays or weekends, we recommend booking a table in advance at popular spots like Lua e Mar or Canoas.
Connectivity: Internet signals on the island can be unstable. While most places accept credit cards, it’s always wise to carry some cash (BRL) just in case.
Dress Code: The island vibe is strictly casual. Flip-flops and light tropical clothing are welcome everywhere!
