The best restaurants Arraial Do Cabo

Le Saint-Tropez aims to be an international restaurant and bar with a French soul. The owner Guy, a French expatriate, opened the doors of his establishment in the early 1980s, and the big jovial Obelix at the entrance is now a well-known figure among tourists. The chef offers a good cuisine with an undeniable French touch, the moquecas are excellent. Grilled octopus with bacon, shrimps with thermidor sauce, scallops with "belle meunière" sauce. It's a bit expensive and the service can be improved.

For those who visit Arraial and want to avoid the tourist restaurants, crowded on weekends and with a rough culinary offer, Sol na cozinha is a good option. The restaurant of the pousada Caminho do Sol is one of the best tables in town, first of all for the plate, whose every ingredient whatever the dish is cooked with love and patience (great variety of dishes, delicious shrimps and fish). The setting is romantic, with a beautiful view of the beach. Chef Henrique Cruz is very attentive to his guests.

The bacalahau do Tuga is undoubtedly the best restaurant in the city, with of course the specialty of cod, which is available in many different ways. Well, the restaurant showcases all seafood products. Fish, seafood... everything is delicious. The service is a bit long because everything is prepared on the spot. We're closer to the slowfood spirit than we are to a tourist who's not coming back. Here, regulars and gourmets in search of good food flock here. It is better to arrive early or to book in high season.
