State of Ceara, Brazil Food Guide: 10 South American food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Fortaleza
Reviews on South American 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.

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. See you!

Today, August 15th 2015, we visited Cantinho do Frango SUL to have lunch but unfortunately the food we were served was terrible and the management was equally bad.We ordered one of their signature dishes known as the BBQ pork with crackling (Costela suÃna desossada à pururuca) but when the dish arrived the meat was underdone and the cracking was raw.We sent the dish back 3 times, each time with the same problem! The manager acknowledged the problem saying that the BBQ chef was new, however they couldn't resolve the problem. Other guests near our table also complained about their underdone meat.Another problem was that we ordered a portion of 400 grams (of BBQ pork) but they only gave us 300 grams and only when I pushed the issue that they acknowledge the problem and apologized.After and 1 hour and 30 minutes the manager brought to our table the FOURTH attempt at the dish but even she acknowledged that it was wrong and offered another dish. (WHY would you ever bring wrongly cooked food to a customer knowing it is wrong???).In all that time we had consumed a couple of drinks, a portion of fries and some bean stew yet no main dish. The manager told us that she could do nothing else hence we asked for the bill so we could leave.Considering the problems we had we thought that the manager would offer us a discount in the bill or some sort of complementary drinks, but nothing. I even asked the manager about what she thought of our service and what she could offer us - her reply was "I have done everything to please you and this isn't my fault"!When we tried to pay the bill by credit card there was a problem with their machine and they put the blame on my card saying there was something wrong with it. I asked them to find another machine to take payment which they eventually did and my card went through.It seems that the management at Cantinho do Frango SUL are excellent at NOT finding solutions, BLAMING others for their problems and not actually caring enough about customer feedback.

I went to Floresta with my cousins for a happy hour. They had Heineken (good), the place was huge, with a band playing live music and a quieter side, with a small playground for kids. Pizza was just ok, thick crust too thick for me and thin crust too thin. They should consider adding a medium crust option. The waiter was helpful and service was good.

We were recommended this restaurant by a friend. After a warm welcome we got a English speaking waiter that really took care of us. This was really a fantastic experience. Great food and drinks and a very positive atmosphere. After a carpaccio as a starter we ate prawns with a curry sauce and rice and a T-Bone steak with two different side orders of potatoes. This was really a pleasure and tasted fantastic. They also offered a good variety of red wines in different price ranges. We ended with two different desserts. Prices are compared to other restaurants little more expensive but it's really worth it! Everything was flawless and I highly recommend everyone to visit this restaurant. Thank you so much for this compliment. We are very happy to be notest like that. Best regards.

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.
