Gateway to the stunning beaches of Rio Grande do Norte, the city of Natal is perched on Brazil's Atlantic coast, at the mouth of the Potengi River.

A Cozinharia

Reviewed By Procaccia

We were a group for dinner and the menu offered had a choice between shrimps, steak and fish. All the dishes showed up with the same risotto loaded with cheese, so heavy that everyone complained. I had the fish with this heavy-handed risotto, and the combination was not at all successful. Having been coming back to Natal for 10 years I have the feeling that cooking here deteriorated in time, tending to become ever the top, not light, not fresh and not what you expect from a place with ready access to the ocean and its fresh sea food and fish. The service was also horrible slow, some visitors fell asleep while waiting. Not recommended.

Tabua de Carne - Via Costeira

One must eat carne de sol to know what it is. We had a filet mignon (beef tenderloin) of carne de sol with macaxeira fries, green beans and farofa. Unforgetably good. The location is beautiful, with a nice view to the ocean. Service is attentive and careful and the food is a dream. Do not miss it.

Pacoca de Pilao

Reviewed By Thiago C

The Paçoca de Pilão is a simple and very good restaurant of Brazilian food. When here ask for "Carne de sol" option or "Paçoca de carne" you will taste a single flavor of Brazilian food. You can ask a Budweiser for drink. When in Pirangi beach or Natal beach you should be here.

We were a group, and it is always slower to get good service for a group. But this was excruciatingly slow. And with errors. But if the food were great we could have suffered the long waits. But unfortunately the food was not good either. My main dish, of shrimps, was covered with sweet pineapple sauce that took a away the last bit of shrimp taste which was limited to begin with. Frozen shrimps re-cooked? I do not know. Maybe farmed shrimps that no chance the acquire their characteristic flavors. At any rate, a disappointing experience that was not made brighter by the lackluster desert of so-so chocolate with so-so vanilla ice cream. Not recommended.Caro Cliente, Ficamos muito tristes em ler os seus comentários e sem compreender alguns pontos o que nos faz questionar, se o Sr. não se confundiu de estabelecimento ao publicar o seu depoimento. Não possuímos nenhum prato com abacaxi e trabalhamos com o melhor fornecedor de camarão do Estado não tendo em 23 anos de funcionamento nenhuma reclamação quanto ao sabor e qualidade do mesmo. Quanto a espera, somos um restaurante onde todos os pratos são feitos com muito carinho, cuidado e de forma artesanal, o que implica em um tempo de preparação mais longo. Isto é explicado em nosso cardápio (em português e inglês). Para os nossos clientes é o tempo perfeito para desfrutar o momento com o parceiro ou amigos, contemplando o nosso meio ambiente e a bela paisagem com vista para o mar, porém tudo isso às vezes não é suficiente para atender alguns poucos clientes que não entendem a proposta do nosso restaurante.

Mina D'Agua Comida Mineira

Restaurante self service de comida mineira com receitas de família. Desde 2006 com sua matriz no bairro Tirol, oferece o que há de mais tradicional em Mina Gerais agora também em Ponta Negra.

Reviewed By OYamamoto

Mina D'Água is a self-service restaurant serving typical Minas Gerais food. The structure of the restaurant is identical to other well-known (and excellent!) Minas Gerais restaurants in Belo Horizonte, such as Xapuri and Dona Lucinha, that is, tables with a wide variety of salads, hot dishes and desserts (especially homemade sweets such as dulce de leche ). The restaurant is simple but cozy. The food is very well made and the service is correct. There are some typical products like homemade sweets for sale in the restaurant. The cost-benefit ratio is quite reasonable. It really is a restaurant that is worth visiting.

Nau Frutos Do Mar

Reviewed By filu13

We are astonished to spend our evening at the NAU restaurant, recommended by our taxi driver and hosts in Natal. Food and service are outstanding and worth paying a litte bit more than usual in Rio Grande do Norte. We had amazing octopus and shrimps with melted cheese for appetizer, lovely brasilian wine recommended by the professional sommelier (greetings to old Chicago times and Fogo de Chao!), and huge portions of shrimps with creamy sauce including dried tomatoes, olives and palm hearts for main course. Wine cellar in NAU is pretty amazing as well. That was our best coulinary experience on holiday :)
