Where to Eat in Ilhabela: The Best Restaurants and Bars

April 4, 2018 Renato Branum

The largest island along Brazil's coast and, literally, a “beautiful island,” Ilhabela offers visitors almost 40 kilometers of pristine beaches and a tropical island's worth of hiking trails, waterfalls and even a nascent party scene. At 207 kilometers from the city of São Paulo, Ilhabela can get crowded, so try to get your beach time in during the work week.

This is the kind of restaurant you can stay for hours, service is very good, attentive to your needs without being aggressive.
They have good drinks and a good selection of wines, I asked for salmon and it was perfectly cooked, very good gastronomy, all around you is pleasant and time is going fast.

Reviewed By Xistudo - Sao Paulo, SP

My favourite destination in São Paulo state is the northern coast and there we have the second largest oceanic island called Ilhabela, a nice city full of infrastructure nature and good moments.
It is not cheap but any good traveller deserves a good experience, does it not?
This time in the island I spent a day at my favourite beach JULIÃO and no other bar and restaurant would be as nice as Prainha DO JULIÃO.
They have a gorgeous list of jazz and tropicalia Brazilian songs to make the place even better.
The food flavourful! The drinks amazing!
The have beach service and we just have to relax and enjoy!
Just be patient to the waiters sometimes due to numbers of clients they seemed a bit confused.

Allmirante Bar & Restaurante

Construído no final do ano de 2003, foi a realização de um sonho e um grande desafio. Hoje um de seus maiores ponto fica a cargo da própria Natureza, que nos brinda com o mais bonito pôr do sol de Ilhabela. Isso sem falar da saborosa variedade de frutos do mar e do ambiente aconchegante e sofisticado que leva os nossos clientes a desfrutar de ótimos momentos, que com certeza serão inesquecíveis.

This place has a great hilltop seaside view worth the visit. The food was ok, though many items on the menu were unavailable, including some of the fish and even orange juice. Prices a bit too expensive for the food in my opinion.
I think it may be more interesting to go for a drink and appetizers enjoy the view and save dinner for somewhere else.
Pretty bad not credit cards accepted (especially due to high prices and system that already accepts debit!)

It's a little place that makes you feel at home. With a nice atmosphere, the staff encourages you to pick your beverages yourself direct from their refrigerator, as you were home... the pizzas come in pieces and you use only napkins to eat them...

The service was quite good and the view was great. However, the food was utterly uninspired: Think ‘major U.S. restaurant chain’. I suspect this will be a good alternative for people who want chili cheese fries (nothing wrong with that!), but this was not for me.

Imagine you have a great home, with low key classy eclectic objects thrown around an ample house with a beautiful garden in a seaside town. Now imagine you have cool interesting friends for dinner, stirring up animated conversation. Lastly, imagine you can cook up a storm, in an understated but immensely flavorful way, and serve it over graceful simple tables.
That is what dinner at Fabio's feels like. Don't forget to try one of the several risottos offered!

Mozzarello Restaurante & Pizzaria

Reviewed By Xicorea - Sao Paulo, SP

Mozzarello is housed in a converted home that includes a well kept garden, downtown Ilhabela. Their location is about as convenient as it can get.
They offer outdoor or indoor Seating. The first is better to enjoy a nice and cool evening, the latter if you prefer air-conditioning. While at first they said that indoor tables were only for families of eight (a rule that doesn’t make much sense), they obliged and arranged for only the three of us to sit inside. Service was fast, efficient, and friendly, like elsewhere on the island.
The pizza we ordered was half margherita and half zucchini. The toppings were good and the crust was fantastic, thin and crispy the way we prefer. If you like thicker crust, please make sure to tell them.
Prices were similar to those in a larger city like São Paulo, but matched the quality. We will definitely go back.
