Mangata
Restaurante Mangata
A seafood restaurant opened in 2016 with soft lighting and a good wine list; it is Parnaíba's most recommended spot for a romantic dinner for two.
Located at 3900 São Sebastião Avenue in the Frei Higino district, about 4 km from the old port, so a taxi is needed. Opened in 2016, it focuses on seafood but also serves grilled meats, pasta, risotto and regional dishes, and lunch includes a weigh-your-plate buffet. The crab-shell starter is popular, and reviews also mention garlic imported beef rump, grilled salmon and oven-baked coconut cake. Soft lighting and an extensive wine list make it well suited to a date-night dinner. Expect to spend around R$100–200 per person, and book ahead for weekend evenings.
Opening hours
Tue–Thu 11:00 AM–2:00 PM and 6:00–11:00 PM (Thursday until 11:30 PM); Fri–Sat 11:00 AM–2:00 PM and 6:00 PM–midnight; Sun 11:00 AM–2:30 PM and 6:00–11:00 PM; closed Mondays
