Ostradamus

A famous oyster restaurant in the Ribeirão da Ilha district, featuring its own purification system and overwater pier seating, ranked 78th in the EXAME 2025 National Top 100.

Founded by Chef Jaime Barcellos, this is the island's premier oyster restaurant, famous for its proprietary oyster purification system and its use of artisanal and ikejime-treated fish. The menu features various baked oysters, such as the classic au gratin with parmesan, and the "Seo Baldança" with gorgonzola and pear. The signature main course is the Iemanjá fish. The average cost is about 170 to 200 reais. Seating on the overwater pier is highly sought after, so weekend reservations are recommended. Located in Ribeirão da Ilha in the south of the island, far from the city center; driving or taking a taxi is recommended.
