Bodega do Sertão
A large restaurant themed on Brazil's northeastern backcountry, with a weigh-and-pay buffet and à la carte dishes; it has over 10,000 TripAdvisor reviews and moved to a new Pajuçara location in late 2025.
Decorated like a small roadside eatery in Brazil's northeastern hinterland, the restaurant offers a large buffet priced by weight plus à la carte dishes. Menu items include carne de sol with cassava, baião de dois rice and beans, rubacão, stewed fish, buchada, black bean stew, and assorted cassava cakes and peanut candy. It has more than 14,000 TripAdvisor reviews and a 4.7 rating. For its 20th anniversary in December 2025, it moved from Jatiúca to a larger new location at 1185 Rua Jangadeiros Alagoanos in Pajuçara. Prices are affordable, making it a good place to sample northeastern food, though some diners find the buffet not hot enough.
