Most Popular Contemporary food in Fortaleza, State of Ceara, Brazil
Reviews on Contemporary food in Fortaleza, State of Ceara, Brazil. Beaches are the top draw in this sunny, rapidly developing city, particularly bohemian, party-hearty Iracema, family-friendly Meireles, fishing and boating base camp Mucuripe and low-key Praia do Futuro. Stalls at the Mercado Central or Feirinha Beira Mar brim with local handicrafts, ranging from ceramics to lacework and leather goods. The Dutch-built Fortress of Nossa Senhora da Assunção in the city center, constructed in 1649, marks the spot where Fortaleza originated.

I don't like to play favorite, specially when it regards restaurants. But Moranga is incredible! I suggest you to try the fish menu.The price is the only con. It's really expensive. A couple, drinking wine, will cost at least u$ 200.

We had a few different starters as we wasn't very hungry but different food came out compared to our order. Nevertheless, it was very good so wasn't an issue. Everytime we ordered a drink, it took ages to arrive. The waiters didn't seem on the ball & didn't clear plates in between the different dishes arriving. The restaurant itself is lovely but be warned...Downstairs is very noisy. Try & get a table upstairs if you can!

I have been three times at Gepost, as it was really close to the hotel and a convenient option. I think is has a nice atmosphere, you can sit outside and have a look to the see / on the other side of the road. So a nice breeze.I definitely do not like the beer in the frozen glas / there they sell you Ice instead of beer. That will never be 300ml. For me the is just fraud on your clients.. I do not approve that. -- But you can by bottles or normal draft beer.The food was o.K. but nothing special. E.g. the shrimp plate was 12 small shrimps, for the price you can get 1 KG at the market.. the pasta and pizza are somehow o.K.The service is o.K. but not special. It can take time to get attention of the stuff.At night there is music, can be really loud if you sit close to the band. take care.As there are not so many decent alternative I thinks its worth visiting, just do not expect something special.Hi Giovanni, how are you? We are sorry about the negative experience in our house. This comment, certainly, doesn't make part of our standard of service. We thank you for your availability in evaluating us, this way we can identify the necessary improvement. We have already sent the information to the responsible section and they will resolve it. In name of our team, we say sorry for your unpleasant experience in our house.We confirm that beer beer is standard and its measurement is 300ml.We thank for your evaluation and we hope you can visit us in another coming to Fortaleza and then a new evaluation.

They say it here that "this is the best restaurant in Fortaleza", and they are probably right. The place is beautiful, the decor using local artists is intriguing but very elegant... and the food is really good... and not less, the service is very good too. There are special little corners that you can choose to have a romantic evening, or nice to go with a group of friends, and even for a bigger event, like the one I participated last night for my mother's 95th birthday, with more than 70 people, and it was really lovely. This is why I decided to write this review. Cheers!Dear Ronaldo A,Thank you very much for your kind words and comments about our restaurant. We were really pleased that you enjoyed our deco and specially our food and service.We hope to see you again in your next trip to Fortaleza.Best Regards,Jardim do Alchymist.

Fusão de sabores brasileiros, italianos e franceses, além de drinks e uma ótima carta de vinhos. Ambiente cosmopolita e aconchegante.
Reviewed By Perivaldo L
The restaurant has a maximum of 10 tables, so arrive early. We went two times to the restaurant and the service was perfect. Ordered two appetizers, with shrimp and all were delicious. The main dishes were also wonderful. The Filet with Fetuttine is sensational. The atmosphere is very pleasant, but lack an acoustic treatment, when all the tables are busy the restaurant is noisy. The prices are fair.

We went to Johnny Rockets Fortaleza at Iguatemi Shopping Center for a family lunch. Four adults. We ordered two sandwiches and one dish.The waiters were very nice and meticulous explaining the menu choices. Unfortunately at that moment some ingredients were missing, so we ordered based on what was available. We chose one MUSHROOM ANGUS STEAK, a CHICKEN CLUB SANDWICH and a ROUTE 66 SANDWICH.Our order arrived soon. The dish was bit small, the sandwiches were fine.A few minutes after receiving our request, Kenny Loggins's Footloose music starts playing and the waiters lined up for a performance. Certainly something unusual, different, but a bit over for lunch time. Maybe at night would be better accepted by customers. But it's alright. They were doing their job. As we had the opportunity to visit other Johnny Rockets units in the United States, we missed the classic 80's atmosphere. But this is only a detail in relation to the hall. We imagine that a Jukebox would be perfect, it's our suggestion. The dishes really are still not in the same standard as the sandwiches. We certainly recommend the ROUTE 66 sandwich.Special attention to the values, the prices are a bit high for what is offered.

A planned re-union of friends to welcome back a lost traveller. There were about 16 women, and just me as the only guy! Sadly the restaurant staff spoke very little English which exactly matched the extent of my Portuguese, but I was still able to navigate around the excellent lunchtime menu and ensure that I had plenty to drink whilst the girls did what girls together do - talk!The food was excellent, the service was attentive without being overbearing and they had everything in had to split the bill for each couple or solo.Hi phicox,Thank you for visiting our restaurant and we were happy with your satisfaction. Check back often!

Our family after arriving at Comfort Fortaleza went straight to Coco Bambu Frutos do Mar. It was an evening to always remember... The Server Mr. Gilliard was awesome, kind, professional, patience. We order a steak with spaghetti alfredo sauce, a ratatouille, and a tilapia dish cooked with vapor. One better than the other (just an eggplant that came a little bit bitter for being undercooked...)We had a wonderful time together with a great meal! Anyone in Fortaleza must go and check it out.
