The best bars and cafés Ceará

A restaurant-bar ideally located on the Beira Mar. According to some, Coco Bambu is the best seafood restaurant in the whole state of Cearà. Beautiful setting and lively atmosphere in the evening. One would think one was in the middle of the Amazonian forest. All this has a price that can be considered as salty and that can make some people run away, but the portions are more than generous and serve more than two people. The quality is there and considering the quantity of shrimps served, it is worth it! You can eat at the buffet at noon.

In a rustic style and a family atmosphere, the Dona Amelia restaurant welcomes its guests for lively forró evenings, from midnight or 1am. Concerts are often held during dinner. The forro bands are usually of excellent quality. In the restaurant, the traditional pineapple shrimp are also featured. The service sometimes takes a while, but that is part of the atmosphere in the North East.

The Sambarock Café is a sure bet in Jeri. Located in the main square, at the heart of the town's kiteboarding scene, the Sambarock is a musical bar, with a variety of musical groups providing a pleasant, festive atmosphere. In addition to its "bem gelada" beer and cocktails, Sambarock's other hallmark is its menu, which features dishes that are always well executed. Salmon, seafood, pestiscos, thin-crust pizzas - everything leaves a taste of home. The smiling service is undoubtedly a factor.

Chopp da bixiga is a popular bar-restaurant. As in many places in Brazil, it has the traditional red or blue plastic chairs and tables and isothermal containers. A very famous place in Fortaleza that serves the original chopp de vinho (draft beer made with red wine). It is accompanied by "macaxeiras fritas" (cassava chips) and carne do sol. You have to arrive early to get a table. Close to the Dragão do Mar cultural centre, in a big house from the beginning of the 20th century. A nice place to know.
