Durval

Reviewed By Tiago M - Edmonton, Canada

Came back a second night with family for dinner at this place, so good the first time was. Definitely recommend this place. A bit expensive, but great food and the view is amazing, especially from the top floor.

Finalmente Creperia

Reviewed By adammawright - Poole, United Kingdom

This is a really nice change up from some of the meat heavy options in Macae. The crepes here a delicious, there is a really comprehensive choice of both savoury and sweet. The staff are great and the restaurant is well decorated and pleasant to be in

Luigi Ristorante

Reviewed By Willythejock - Aberdeen, United Kingdom

I recently had the pleasure of eating at this facility.
I was staying in Macae and was recommended this restaurant by a group of Brazilian's that I was at a conference with.
I had a Fillet Steak for my supper, which was cooked to perfection by the chef.
They must have liked my Scottish accent as I got one of the largest steaks I have seen.
I was with a group of people who had a variety of dishes that looked delicious.
Overall a good experience. I would recommend anyone in the area to eat at this establishment.

Restaurante Lagostao

Reviewed By sbecon - Maryland

We really liked our lunch here. It definitely was more of a visit, though. Food was made to order and it took some time. First we negotiated the lobsters, which they brought to the table for us to choose by size and price. The portions were very large. The lobster stew said it served 2, but would definitely be enough for 3 people, and possibly 4. Similarly, the gnocchi with shrimp said it served 3 and I would say it really was sized comfortably for 4.
All in all, I'm glad we are traveling with friends from Brazil who help us get the best out of the local spots.

Ilhote Sul

Reviewed By Thiago Lucio P - Rio de Janeiro, RJ

Tasteful and quality seafood should always be savored at a reliable Restaurant. In the city of Macaé, the best reference is the Ilhote Sul, a well-known and very prestigious reference in the city. Satisfaction for 9 out of 10 people. After numerous options of seafood and especially its famous "Panelinha de Camarão VG and Cherne fish" all this enhanced with the famous seasoning of the house. Enter the traditional codfish or prawn crayfish.

Brasa & Vino

Reviewed By DOTWC - Sao Paulo, SP

The pizza rodízio here is very tasty, and I live in São Paulo where we are spoiled with good pizza. The service is always attentive. If you are going for the pizza I recommend not going too early when there is not as much variety.

I cannot say this is the best sushi I have had but it's certainly the best in Macae. My family loved to dine their when we are up for Japanese meal. I hope they still maintain the same quality now.

Churrascaria Brazao

Reviewed By Heitor Uchoa B - Rio de Janeiro, RJ

As i said on the description , this restaurant is a good self-service option if you want to escape from the beach front restaurants at macaé.
Well organized and good variety of food with bbq options and lots of spots. It is hard to find some place to park speacially in week days.

Benedito Bar & Grill

Reviewed By bubba375 - Atlanta

Stopped here based on a recommendation by the hotel. This restaurant is not on the water, but has a great open-air ambiance and a great selection of meats and sides, all served Brazilian style on a skewer. The meat was cooked very well, and the sides were really a great mix of local flavors. We came here a second night and had a great meal again. It is somewhat small and can be crowded. Also, as with many places in Macae, very little English is spoken, so a rudimentary knowledge of Portuguese is helpful.

Brasa e Vino

Reviewed By bubba375 - Atlanta

This is like a pizza buffet in Brasil style. The servers come to your table with a pizza and you can choose a slice if you wish. The ambiance is nice, however the pizza just isn't that good (for italian standards). It may be very good for Brazilians, because the place was packed. It is right on the beach, so that is good as well. I would probably pass on this restaurant next time.
