Dona Amélia
Restaurante Dona Amélia
An affordable home-style spot on Rua do Forró, famous for its pineapple prawns and generous portions, with live forró music on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
Located at 440 Rua do Forró, this budget-friendly Ceará restaurant serves both lunch and dinner. Its signature is pineapple prawns served in a whole pineapple, with bean rice, cassava flour relish and fries. You'll also find carne de sol (sun-dried beef) with cassava, coconut-milk fish and bean rice. A double portion is generous and often feeds three people. There is live music every day. Wednesday and Saturday nights are forró dance nights, when the place fills up and service slows, so arrive around 7 pm for a good table. Blogs have recently recorded a double portion of pineapple prawns at about R$85–108, with an average spend of about R$60 per person.
