Tamarindo
Restaurante Tamarindo
An open-air restaurant opened in 2006, with tables under trees strung with lights, serving octopus, prawns and local fish. It is the village's most popular dinner spot.
One of the village's most reviewed restaurants, with over six thousand TripAdvisor reviews and a 4.5 rating. Its open-air seating sits under trees with dim lighting and string lights, well suited to a slow dinner. The focus is seafood and fish: octopus, prawns and local fish, with tamarind fruit used in drinks and dishes. The most talked-about dish is the ‘aguardente’ flambéed prawns, served with a mango and lime risotto. Other favorites include coconut-milk fish, prawn risotto and grilled octopus. Main courses cost about R$100, and the restaurant averages R$100–180 per person, which is pricey by village standards. Located on Travessa Ismael, not far from the main beach. Dinner only. Local guides say reservations are not taken, so arrive early in high season to wait for a table.
