The best restaurants Santa Catarina

In a place where Argentinians are omnipresent, the presence of an Argentinian churrascaria seems to flow naturally. The 2-storey restaurant offers a genuine Argentine parrilla in a friendly setting. as the restaurant's slogan puts it, "Here, it's the meat that does the show". This restaurant has been an institution since the late 1980s, when a gaucho restaurateur, Juan Levin, had the idea of importing the traditional parrillada. Churrascos are served here, as well as excellent fish dishes. It's a shame the service isn't as good.

Another island restaurant honored by New York Times food critics. One of the best tables in town for its Italian specialties, in a family, bucolic and intimate setting (only 7 tables) with a beautiful view of the lagoon. The chef Rodolfo Luiz Gualtiere particularly honours the regions of Calabria and Veneto with his gastronomic references. Fresh pasta, salads, risottos, fish and meat finely prepared Mediterranean style, excellent desserts such as homemade tiramisu.

Good fish restaurant, cheap.

There is a good buffet and a meat rodizio. Good and cheap.

Seafood, good table.

One self per kilo, well and cheap.

An excellent restaurant with furniture from Indonesia, offering a varied cuisine and a very good bill. On the floor, lounge with sofas.

A Brazilian play on words (Ostra means oyster in Portuguese), Ostradamus is a restaurant best known for its oysters, grown on the adjoining oyster farm. But that's not all! It's also one of the island's top restaurants for shrimp, octopus and grilled fish. Very good caiçara cuisine. Large bay windows offering a magnificent view of the bay, azulejos and bricks, and a slightly kitsch décor inside, set the scene for a seafood restaurant that's not to be missed.

This large and simple restaurant on Sambaqui beach, made of brick and wood, is an institution for the locals. A restaurant specializing in seafood ordered by the owner Gugu, a former fisherman, difficult not to be tempted... It's his wife who's operating the stove! Try the calderada or the big omelette or Siri's casquinha or shrimp fritters. You can also try the fish of the day and you are rarely disappointed. The prices are very decent. A place to know.

From 25 R $. Huge churrascaria, cheap. Wild boar, picanha.

One of the places in Floripa mode. Live shows and new kitchen.

An excellent churrascaria. More than 20 meat options, central buffet with salads, sushi and other hot dishes.

Very in vogue. Beautiful decoration and excellent service!

Superb little busy central market post. A canteen atmosphere reminiscent of Spanish tapas bars. The atmosphere is both friendly and family oriented. There are photos of celebrities, including Lula and Ivo Pitanguy, and the diplomas of the records of beer consumption in one day (1,200 l of Brahma). Box 32 offers seafood specialities, meat, sandwiches and a wide range of drinks. Of course, it is possible to consume in moderation. A must to taste the freshness of local products.

In a very beautiful, sophisticated frame. Impeccable service. Try the couscous!

Right on the lagoon, next to a small pier, not far from the Praia de Mole, the Ponta das Caranhas offers an exquisite setting to taste good seafood, such as Bahian-style shrimps, mussels au gratin, mixed muquecas (fish, shrimps, seafood)... Excellent pirao, this cassava and vegetable soup. The menu consists of three parts: fish dishes, shrimp dishes and chicken dishes. Of course you can taste Santa Catarina oysters. The deck offers an absolutely superb view.

Very pleasant frame. Ao music. Traditional cuisine on the island, seafood and meat.

It's not only in Sete that the idea of macaroni was imported. It was in 1979 that an Italian chef chose to tackle the culinary traditions of the Azores. It's clear that the daring wager has been won. The Macarronada is now one of the most famous restaurants in the area. This Italian cuisine is prepared with fresh ingredients chosen for their taste qualities. Fresh homemade pasta, pizzas cooked over a wood fire and carefully prepared Italian-style fish, all with a view of the sea.

In the cozy atmosphere of the Jay Bistro, Chef Eudes offers Mediterranean and international cuisine, with seafood and fish taking pride of place. Service is on a par with the chef's talents as he maneuvers at the piano, offering lobster and shrimp bobo risotto, duck confit in jabuticaba sauce, and octopus à la thaïe, to name just a few of his most popular creations. Desserts are equally refined. The sommelier offers a quality wine list. One of the best restaurants in Florianopolis.

A trendy beach restaurant with the sushi/lounge combo hosted by Djs in the evening. Ideal for lunch or dinner in the sand and continue the evening with a cocktail. Prices are high but still reasonable, and correct plates.
