Tapas Pipa
Tapas
A long-standing Pipa restaurant that opened in 2006 and pioneered small sharing plates. Its sesame-crusted tuna and shrimp dishes are the best known.
Tapas opened in 2006 and was the first in Pipa to introduce small sharing portions, at a time when most restaurants only served large plates for two. Several guides name it among the town's classic restaurants. The menu blends Spanish, Mediterranean and Asian flavors. The signature is sesame-crusted tuna with teriyaki sauce, with other dishes including tuna tartare, Spanish potato omelette, honey-ginger shrimp and octopus with potatoes. Open for dinner only, it sits at the junction of the main street and Bem-Te-Vis Street, within walking distance. Portions are small, so ordering several dishes to share works well; average spend is about R$100–150 per person.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat 6:30 pm–11:00 pm; closed Sunday and Monday
