Russo Gastrobar
The most popular restaurant on the seafront avenue in the town centre, serving creative Brazilian dishes made with local ingredients, often with live music. It tops the TripAdvisor review rankings for the town.
Located at 467 Senador Rui Palmeira Avenue, facing the sea. The menu combines local ingredients from Brazil's Northeast with modern techniques. The most-ordered dish is the shrimp balls with lemon cream sauce, while the shrimp risotto, filet mignon and pasta also receive good reviews. There are about thirty craft beers and cocktails, and the restaurant also has a sushi menu from the Japanese brand Nami. Live music is common in the evenings and the atmosphere is lively. During peak season, service and seating can be slow, so arriving early is recommended. Prices are mid-to-upper range, and it is a short walk from the town centre.
