The best beach restaurants Brazil

Club do Balanço is the café-restaurant of the eponymous pousada. Established since 1993 on the second beach (Segunda Praia), this establishment has built a solid reputation in a place that does not lack competition. Inspired by capixaba (from the neighboring state of Espirito Santo), the menu also offers the "classics" of Bahian cuisine such as bobó de camarão and moqueça. You can eat inside or directly on the beach. The menu is diversified, local seafood, fish, but also pasta and sandwiches for the small hunger.

The Café du Mar is both a bar and a beach restaurant. It's a beautiful place, rustic and pleasant. It welcomes visitors until late at night, secluded from the bustling center of Abraão, on the magnificent Praia do Canto. You really can eat here with your feet in the sand. You're rarely disappointed. The dishes are hearty. The choice of kebabs is varied. Wednesday is barbecue day. Excellent grilled fish and meats are on offer. Cocktails and fresh fruit juices are also very good. At sunset, the place becomes magical.

On the praia do centro, the Pipa Beach Club has established itself as an essential beach bar and restaurant. This vast space is almost right in the water, and the view of the beach is superb. The cocktails are renowned, and watching the sunset while sipping a drink is truly magical. The dishes served in the restaurant are generous and the menu is a little more sophisticated than in other Pipa bars. Prices are quite reasonable. The quality of service is also a hallmark of the place.

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.

This is Maceió's most famous beach restaurant-barraca , voted best "barraca" by Veja magazine on numerous occasions. Thanks to its reputation, places fill up quickly, especially at weekends, when you need to arrive before 12pm to be sure of getting a table and not waiting for hours. The dishes are carefully prepared and a little more elaborate than elsewhere. If you're feeling a little hungry, you can also opt for a mouth-watering petisco accompanied by a fruit cocktail served directly from the pineapple. During the summer, a DJ provides the ambiance.

Kanoa Beach Bar is one of the most popular beach barraca restaurants on the seafront, along with Lopana. The offer is similar to that of the other "chic" barraca in Maceio: you can find the traditional dishes of fish, seafood and local products, such as the fish fillet "agulinha" rolled in coalho cheese. In the morning, the bar is open, but the kitchen only starts around noon. No showers here, and there is an extra charge to use the sun loungers on the beach. Nice location.

Facing one of the most beautiful beaches on the north coast of São Paulo, Badauê subtly mixes the rustic and the refined in its architecture and dishes. A good table and an atmosphere with feet in the water, ideal to take a caipirinha. The place is always full of tourists who enjoy the fish dishes and the sushi "combos". The badejo (fish) with wine and raisin sauce is a classic of the house. The restaurant certainly offers the best fish and shellfish in town. Well, the seaside location comes at a price
