Praia

Far from the hustle and bustle of the capital, yet so close, you can be surprised by the soft music of the ebb and flow of the waves and the wind that shakes the palm trees. On the small cove of Prainha, this "feet in the water" restaurant promises you an experience so radically cool that some people make it their canteen. High quality extra-fresh fish, delicious desserts and caipirinha galore accompanied by cod croquettes (among others) will make you have a good time in a vacation atmosphere. Live bands and entertainment on weekends.

All you have to do is descend a short flight of steps and you're standing on the sand. That's how well-placed this beach hut is, anchored as it is on the pretty Kebra Canela. Both the marine decor and the menu are inspired by the location, the latter featuring dishes such as grilled octopus, shrimp and cod, 100% cliché but a joy to indulge in. In short, simple yet tasteful formulas in this cool spot, best enjoyed on a Sunday lunchtime, for example, and followed by a swim.
