Gafanhoto's

Reviewed By Kesia O

Even non-vegetarians will love this place - my boyfriend wants to go here all the time. Gafanhotos is pretty much the only option for vegetarians in Sao Luis that want to lunch out. This is completely okay by me, as the food is tasty, fresh and full of flavor. It even has a little supermarket in the back corner, where you can buy several vegetarian meat substitutes etc. Great place!

I've been coming here for years, and food and deserts are consistently great. They have now expanded to a second floor, which takes care of the overflow. The other great thing is that it is a super place to establish a meet.

Cabana do Sol

Reviewed By jnha

Its is a huge restaurant with several dining-rooms. The menu is quite extensive and features an interesting array of sea food. We would recommend their prawns.The staff is extremely friendly and helpful when it comes to your selection of dishes. They even offered us the opportunity to test (and taste) a very local specialty: "arroz de cuxá". And the staff was obviously happy to give us the opportunity to discover something new for us.The prices are quite reasonable when compaared to the quality of the food...Highly recommendable place.

We were taken to this restaurant by friends from São Luis. The setting is very pleasant and during the day there must be a marvellous view of the beach and sea. The food was good but the service a bit slow. We had fish and it was excellent. By the end the waiters seemed a bit anxious for us to finish so they could close the restaurant.

I'm all in favor of restaurants with trainees, all the more if they have a piano player. However, when I went there I was told there were no vegetarian dishes available at all. So be aware that the "vegetarian friendly" label placed on Tripadvisor for this restaurant is definitely not accurate. Meat eaters, however, definitely seem to enjoy it.Dear Mr.We apologize for the inconvenience of not having vegetarian dishes, despite the great variety of salads and many accompaniments that do not carry any animal protein in the buffet, but in our a la carte menu we have 02 vegetarian dishes.We were intrigued as to the information on Trip Advisor's website that we serve vegetarian food since there is no such information, it follows the link with the types of food we serve.https://www.tripadvisor.com.br/ManageListing-g673267-d2219922-SENAC_Restaurante-Sao_Luis_State_of_Maranhao.html#/details?_k=dghg2hHis evaluation of us saddens because in fact as he did not taste the food, and we have many good points that could be considered, we consider unfair such a low rating.Anyway we appreciate your visit and comments.Att,Gabriela VasconcellosManager

When you combine good cuisine within the respect of the ingredients and you are surrounded by a beautiful collection of naïve style paintings, time goes on with no pain!I enjoyed discussion with owner as she explained the decoration around guests, while waiting for a perfectly done choice of fish! The rice of tomato and al was just prepared and served! A detail that makes all difference. Location in quite a residential area of island of São Luis, it seems a treasure kept by them with love! The inside walls of around the garden of this private villa,have painting Painéis', by a famius Brazilian artist. In the kitchen a lover of what he does, an experienced mr Dantas who return to Maranhão after a stop over in Sao Paulo, but respects the Art of Cuisine in his field.

Coco Bambu Sao Luis

Reviewed By Whissely

Coco Bambu is probably Brazil's favorite upscale franchise. Servings at all these restaurants are huge (usually for four people). The location infrastructure is very nice though not necessarily central. I had a lunch special (which serves two people) which was a good deal, but not as tasty as I would like. Servie is usually very good at Coco Bambu and this was no different.
