The best restaurants Ceará

In one of the cobbled streets of Canoa Quebrada and in a friendly and rustic atmosphere, the restaurant Cabana is a nice discovery. Many tourists avoid the restaurants located on the "Broadway" of the old fishing village. The Cabana will certainly reassure visitors. The food is varied and the dishes very generous. Fish, seafood and meat are all on the menu. Excellent shrimp curry. The restaurant is one of the few restaurants open at noon every weekend and in the summer. Very good welcome from the staff.

One could almost compare the Pimenta Verde restaurant to a city straw hut. Chilli pepper is the chef's favourite ingredient in this small restaurant where the welcome is attentive. However, don't worry, some dishes don't contain it. There are of course many options for vegetarians. The cuisine is quite varied. Relaxed atmosphere, nice decoration and low prices. For those who want to treat themselves, discovering the lobster cooked by the chef is a pleasure, at a very low price compared to the additions in France...

Jericoacoara is no exception. An Italian table and travelers will be delighted. Roma Restaurante & Pizzaria is Jericoacoara's Italian address. The large pizzas are very well made and would satisfy Neapolitans (they're gigantic). The pastas (try the seafood ones) and other traditional Italian dishes are not to be outdone. They are successful and tasty, for fairly reasonable prices. Takeaway option.

Casa de Pedra is an almost perfect address in Jeri. It is a "sorvetaria" (ice cream shop) but the options offered are in fact numerous and all worth a visit. In addition to delicious homemade ice creams, the house offers small dishes, tapiocas and sandwiches, always at low prices. French tourists will be surprised by the presentation of the crepes, which are open on the plate and not folded. Burger lovers will find excellent homemade sandwiches. The setting is also very pleasant and the service cordial.

Mentioning Argentina inevitably brings to mind the idea of meat, churrasco and the sacrosanct parrilada. The restaurant "El Argentino" is no exception to the rule. We are certainly in the center of Canoa Quebrada, at the seaside, but the Argentino proposes on its menu to eat several kinds of meat. The parriladas "argentinas", of the "chef" and of the sea are very generously served and can satisfy 3 to 4 people. The 1/2 portions will be enough for two. Good atmosphere and some wines to accompany your dish, long live the porteño style at the beach!

Good fish and beautiful sea view.

Very good kitchen.

Within a framework of provincial charm to enjoy traditional French cuisine.

In the Dragao do Mar cultural centre, good food is not forgotten. You can eat at the buffet by the kilo at lunchtime and taste regional food a la carte in the Alma Gemea restaurant. The dishes are hearty and can serve two to three people. The carne-de-sol Dragão do Mar is a must try! The Alma Gemea restaurant is a good option for pizza, Italian food, grilled food, before or after visits to the cultural centre.

A good place for those on a budget. In a rustic and pleasant setting, the bar and pizzeria Evoluçao offers a quality menu of Italian dishes. On the menu are several types of pizza and homemade pasta, salads and fish dishes. The fine pastas are particularly appreciated and the tomato sauce has a tasty flavour. The service is professional and the dishes are served quickly. The wines are also good. There is the traditional Chilean wine "Concha Y toros". Good value for money.

The influx of tourists has not made the authenticity of the regional restaurant and the family cuisine disappear. The Catavento is one of those establishments that we like to meet, simple and with an interesting cuisine. It is a family restaurant. While the mother cooks, the others take care of the service. Located a little behind the trendy bars and restaurants, the Catavento offers simple dishes at very attractive prices. The moqueca is tasty and the side dishes are numerous. Ideal for small budgets.

The restaurant illuminated by pretty street lamps is one of the most elegant in Jeri. On the menu: fish, salads and even pizzas. The team in the kitchen offers attractive preparations. The prawns presented in pineapples are as tasty as they are beautiful. The cod in truffle oil is a house specialty. For dessert, the cocada sorbets are also delicious. Numerous cocktails make the Tamarindo's meals a little brighter. Very appreciated by the tourists, it is sometimes necessary to be patient before having a table.

It's no coincidence that the restaurant is called Costa Brava, because it serves good seafood with a Spanish twist. This restaurant is definitely a good choice. The welcome is pleasant, as is the place, and the menu is complete, presenting very well prepared Spanish and Brazilian specialities at very reasonable prices. The dishes are suitable for two people. The "costa brava" shrimps are a must try, as is the shrimp strogonoff. The Costa Brava style lobsters and the parrillada are also good values.

A good address for lunch on the beach. This pleasant thatched restaurant aims to cater for a discerning public, changing the long-held view that a beach restaurant could not be synonymous with sophistication. The Antonio Coco bar and restaurant seems to have taken up the challenge with flying colours. It has been consistently voted the best beach bar in Canoa Quebrada for the past twenty years. This large structure has a swimming pool and various leisure activities. The menu is varied. Starters to share. Salads, grilled meats.

The name "Bistrô Caiçara" might suggest a rustic, even country-style cuisine. It is not. Located on the first floor of a building on the main street, the Caiçara bistro stands out for its preparations, which are a little more elaborate than the average in town, and for the attentive welcome of the chef and his team. The main dishes are fish and seafood, skilfully prepared and arranged in various ways, accompanied by well-chosen wines. There is a beautiful view of the sea. Prices are a bit high.

This is a vegetarian's and vegan's paradise. The Mandir is a healthy and vegetarian option that is a victim of its own success: the place is small and the quality-price ratio is excellent. In a zen and uncluttered atmosphere, you can eat pies, croquettes, salads and empanadas that are very varied and full of taste. It is better to arrive early to have the chance to taste one of the homemade desserts (they go very quickly!). Excellent welcome from the team.

The concept here seems audacious, even a little presumptuous. It's a question of marrying high gastronomy with the relaxed atmosphere of a bar. Moleskine is a vast semi-gastro restaurant spread over two levels where the gente bonita, Brazil's golden youth, meets: international cocktails, fusion cuisine and hipster decor and good food. It is advisable to wear closed shoes. Hawaiïanas are not welcome here, as you can see. A friendly place, a bit expensive and rather classy.

Bar do Alexandre is a beach bar-restaurant with its feet in the water. It's a beautiful, tranquil spot, facing a crystal-clear, azure sea. You can wait in peace for the "por do sol". In the afternoon, the sounds of local bands lull the guests to sleep. The moquecas are as good as in Salvador de Bahia. Petiscos and beer, frozen as they should be, have a special flavor here. Sitting back in comfortable chairs or deckchairs, you're never in a hurry to leave. The staff are very attentive.

Sabor da Terra has reinvented the concept of "eating with your feet in the sand". The entire surface of this pleasant establishment is covered with white sand, both on the terrace and inside. Le Sabor offers very good regional cuisine in a friendly family atmosphere. The best address to enjoy a lobster. Lobster with pineapple, lobster with coconut, lobster with butter. Guests can also taste seafood and meat products. Good cocktails too. To know !

Naturalmente is another unpretentious address, with a slightly kitschy decor, far from the glitter of trendy establishments, but which reminds us that the essential is in the plate and in the sincerity and friendliness of the welcome. This establishment offers a wide choice of dishes (international cuisine) including very good pancakes and tasty acai bowls, to be enjoyed with your feet in the sand. You can choose dishes oriented "sea" (like the shrimps with curry and coconut milk, or the fish in its maracuja and orange sauce), or land.
