Top 10 restaurants in Santos, Brazil
Although it's also the location of the Latin America's largest seaport, Santos isn't just a boring port town. The city of 420,000, just 75 kilometers from São Paulo, features a seven-kilometer stretch of beach divided into just as many social cliques as you'd find on Ipanema. A verdant promenade separates the beach from the seafront condos and hotels, along which families and friends walk, amble, bike, skate, rollerblade, throw frisbees, you name it. Less sandy points of interest include the Museu do Café Brasileiro (Brazilian Coffee Museum), the Aquário Municipal (City Aquarium), the Orquidário Municipal (City Orchid Garden) and the Neo-Gothic Santos Cathedral.

Traditional Lebanese Cuisine. Menu contains options of Lebanese Festival, which includes 11 dishes to be repeated at will or an A La Carte Menu
Reviewed By Gabrielacruz - Santos, SP
Although the food is excellent the price is a bit abusive. If it was a bit cheaper I would frequent the restaurant more often. Does not need to be a fast food price, but could be a bit cheaper

Whenever I go to Santos, I have to stop by this place and have lunch, since they are not open for dinner. I usually order the white tuna, or Meca, with an oriental sauce or named Thai sauce, which is a thick soy sauce with some sweet and sour flavor. Anyway, the sangria, a type of drink made with wine, pineaple is on the house and the banana with passion fruit syrup as well. You may spend about 20-25 dollars per person, it's worth it. Service is friendly and good. Paquito, the owner is always there, serving and checking if the customers are being well assisted.

Had very good steak. Portion was very big. Good side dishes as well. It is an Argentenian restaurant, so selected an Argentenian wine. Could have selected something better! Nice atmosphere and very good service. Spoken English is a problem, but they had menu in English. A bit pricey by local standard.
4. Restaurante Catalina

Catalina has become a perfect place to me, since I first visited this restaurant a few years ago. Fernando, a great Argentinian fellow, and his wife, take good care of this astonishing environment, with awesome contemporary cuisine and sublime service. Enjoy your dinner on Saturday night when Fernando sings great Argentinian and Italian songs on upper floor with outstanding musicians. A lifetime experience.
5. Temakeria Santista

Reviewed By RLuiz - London, United Kingdom
This place is for temaki lovers and has a wide range of choices.
The food is tasty, fresh and I could easily eat 5 or 6 to fill me up completely, so I consider It a bit overpriced for the size of the temakis.
Tip: Go early as it gets packed even week days.
6. Van Gogh

The Van Gogh Pizzeria and Restaurant offers a diversified menu, since pastas until a rich variety of pizza's flavours.
Reviewed By achsah17 - Milwaukee, Wisconsin
This restaurant has been in business for so long, and it keeps updating it's menu and atmosphere. The tables are very close together but you still get top notch service and the servers are very professional and attentive. Although they are known for the best wood fired pizza in the area, they do have a diversified menu that offers local cuisine as well. Just a block from the beach along side one of the many city canals. Reservations are recommended but not required.

Excellent variety of Arab food. They have per kilo, R$ 44.95 all you can eat or the menu.
If you are not that hungry I advise you to go for the per kilo. You have an excellent plate full for app R$ 29.00. They keep coming with Arab bread which by the way is very tasty. Great service and clean. They have a parking arrangement with Patio Iporanga on the other side of the road.
8. Oca Santos

Reviewed By MDTravProf - Maryland
Our group of 8 decided to try this spot on a recommendation from another individual in town. It is a stylish yet quaint local eatery within a few blocks from the Praia Santos oceanfront. Our group was easily accommodated by the staff as they joined a few tables for our group. I had eaten a late lunch so I was not going to induldge as much as others in the group. However, I was treated to an outstanding mango and almond salad and the local black bean soup while a couple others did the same as others ordered even more complete meals of beef, chicken or seafood. The dishes were all presented beautifully and I heard no complaints from the group...only compliments. Save room for dessert as they offer up a nice range of options...my friend and I shared the tiramisu...excellent! The menu is priced somewhat moderately with lots of options for any tastes. This coupled with the nice ambiance make it a winner in Santos!

10. Creperia Da Praia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 239 reviews
Reviewed By wvdm2016 - Bloemendaal, The Netherlands
First of all, DO NOT EXPECT a crepe bretonne. For me, the name creperie should be reserved for the French or really Breton crepe. Thin, made with sarassin flower. Unfortunately in English speaking regions and in Holland and Germany it has become common to refer to pancakes (thick wheat flour soggy) as crepes. In Santos the Creperia da praia has its own take on the concept of crepe. This is neither a crepe bretonne nor a pancake. But the result is not bad at all. I wouldn't quite know how to describe it, but I do recommend giving it a try. For a light and cheap meal in a simpel but sympathetic environment this is a great place, well located near the boulevard in the centre. And when I say light, I don't mean small - the pancakes are quite considerable.
