The best restaurants João Pessoa

Mangai is a restaurant not to be missed where you can taste the typical sertaneja food of the Nordeste in a very local and lively atmosphere. There are more than 200 options of dishes to choose from at Mangai. At the lunch buffet and a la carte, there are about 70 regional recipes, with suggestions such as baião de dois, carne de sol with cheese, butter shrimp and fried manioc. For dinner, Mangai offers excellent a la carte dishes, such as the traditional Carne de sol. Tasty fruit juices to try as well.

The Nau restaurants (two in João Pessoa, one in Natal and one in Brasilia) have earned a solid reputation as restaurants specializing in fish and seafood. Veja magazine has already named them the "best fish restaurant in Brazil" several times. Restaurant Nau de Cidade Jardim, on Manarai beach, is housed in a modern design building, the large service room is rather elegant and the service is professional. The dishes are made with fresh fish and seafood. Prices are a bit high, but justified.
