The 13 best foods to try in Morro de Sao Paulo

When we arrived in Morro de Sao Paulo we found the perfect place in an uncrowded street with delicious food and during our week-long stay we were there every day, although we tried other places we always came back here. Delicious food, friendly service and beer from a local brewery. If you are in Morro you absolutely must go to this restaurant! We already miss it!

Lovely little place away from the hustle and bustle of the busy area. Food was delicious and very authentic. I had the shrimp pineapple and definitely recommend it.

Dont hesitate , if there’s a table grab it before the rush . Great food , great service , our waiter actually brewed the artisan IPA beer and spoke English , a decent brew with great graphics on the can .

Amazing restaurant and a fabulous meal. We ordered Steak with Curry & Pineapple sauce and stuffed cheese with mince aubergines. Followed it up with chocolate brownies with Ice Cream (hubby) and passion fruit mousse for me (not a fan of ice cream). Delicious.

Nice restaurant. If you want to escape the crowds by the beaches and can appreciate some nice vegetables to go by your fish or meat then this is a good place to go. The food was good, the service was very friendly. Interior is not much special but it was clean. Recommended.

Great food and friendly staff! Some speak English which was very helpful. We had the pineapple shrimp dish, would recommend!

Great restaurant! Ate there almost everyday with my girlfriend while we were in Morro. The staff are friendly and the food is amazing!

The place is great, just a bit away from the big crowd in the first and second beach. We ate a bruschetta of meat tartare and it was delicious. The tagliatelle with octopus and tomate was simple but still delicious. And to close the night, the dessert with mango was sweet but light in the mouth. Really recommend eating here if you are in morro.

Wonderful food, great service and cozy environment! The personalized care in every detail makes the whole difference. Excellent! Italy at the beach in Brazil!

BEST place to have Italian food on the island. We looked at the menu and knew it had to be an Italian cook or owner! I had the home made gnocchi made from ricotta and it was amazing. Once the owner knew that were on Honeymoon he came to congratulate us and we even got some limoncello at the end of the night. Also the French waiter was so friendly and nice. It really is a very good place to have Italian food. We forgot to take pictures because it was so good 🙈 and ate everything right away! I do have a picture of the view from the restaurant to the beach.

Amazing restaurant. The atmosphere is cool, calm and you can hear the waves. The owner is Italian so the food is really amazing and made with fresh ingredients… I can only recommend!

Hands down to one of the best pasta’s I’ve had in my life. The service was excellent, fast and well served. We had the broschettes and some pene with mushroom sauce. I can’t express how good it was, the texture, the flavor, it was just perfect. Totally recommend it and I will be going back again without a doubt!

Walk a little further than the super touristic restaurants and you’ll find a real treasure here in Morro De São Paulo! Amazing Italian food, with the best service, a quiet nice view next to the sea and relaxing music. You won’t regret walking a bit extra for this! 🤌🏻❤️

I loved this place. For us the best restaurant on the island. Super friendly owner who speaks Italian too. The dishes were fabulous and it's nice to get away from the busy places near beach 1 and 2. The food was delicious. We had the bruschetta, gnocchi and tagliatelle. Even the small dish with tomatoes for our daughter tasted so good! Highly recommended!

(Translated by Google) Excellent and fast service. There were two of us and we tried the restaurant's signature dish, the shrimp in pineapple ($45), and the fettuccine with mushrooms ($25). The dishes are already prepared for customers to share. We complemented it with a Heineken long neck ($9). Those who wish can leave a mark/message on the walls at the end of the meal. They are painted in December of each year to add new words. (Original) Atendimento excelente e rápido. Estávamos em dois e experimentamos o carro chefe do restaurante, o Camarão no abacaxi ($45), e um fettuccine com champignon ($25). Já estão preparados para o compartilhamento dos pratos por parte dos clientes. Complementamos com a Heineken long neck ($9). Aqueles que desejam podem deixar uma marca/recado nas paredes ao final da refeição. Elas são pintadas em dezembro de cada ano para agregar novas palavras.

(Translated by Google) The waiter greeted us rudely, but since we were tired from the 3-hour trip on the catamaran... and dinner would be our first meal since 8 a.m., we thought it was just tiredness, however... The dish the waiter suggested to my husband, theoretically for two people, was barely enough for one... Questioning the waiter was not a good idea... he made a scene that I had never seen anywhere else... And he said he would prefer us to leave instead of ordering another dish to complement the dinner. I will never go back and I will tell everyone I know what happened there. Morro is wonderful... but unfortunately I will have this unpleasant memory of this place. (Original) O garçom já nos recepcionou com grosseria, mas como estávamos cansados da viagem de 3h no catamarã....e o jantar seria nossa primeira refeição desde as 8h da manhã , acreditávamos que fosse apenas o cansaço mesmo, porém.... O prato sugerido pelo garçom ao meu esposo, teoricamente para duas pessoas, mal servia uma.... Questionar o garçom não foi uma boa idéia....fez um escândalo que eu nunca tinha visto em lugar algum.... E disse que preferiria que saíssemos dali ao invés de pedir outro prato para complementar o jantar. Nunca mais volto e contarei a todos que conheço o que houve ali. Morro é maravilhosa....mas infelizmente terei essa chata recordação desse lugar.

(Translated by Google) If regret could kill. We went to this restaurant based on recommendations on the internet, and we didn't find anything like what we read here, except for the delay in the food arriving. The place is nothing special, but what irritated us were the dishes. The shrimp in pineapple is a tiny portion, not even good enough as an appetizer. Luckily, we ordered two dishes and shared my pasta, which was well-served, but nothing spectacular. The house special, the pineapple, didn't live up to expectations, the seasoning was simple and the portion was very small. (Original) Se arrependimento matasse. Fomos nesse restaurante pelas indicações da internet, nada do que lemos aqui encontramos lá, com exceção da demora para os pratos chegarem. O lugar não tem nada de mais, mas o que irritou foram os pratos, o camarão no abacaxi é uma porção minúsculas, nem como entrada serve, a sorte foi que pedimos dois pratos e dividi minha massa, essa sim bem servida, mas nada espetacular. O carro chefe da casa que é o abacaxi não atendeu a expectativa, tempero simples e uma porção muito pequena.

(Translated by Google) The best restaurant in Morro de SP. Excellent service (including by the owner) and a super cozy atmosphere. Visitors have the opportunity to leave their messages on the restaurant walls. Delicious and well-served food. I recommend the shrimp cream served in pineapple. Delicious!!! Good price. (Original) Melhor restaurante de Morro de SP. Atendimento excelente (inclusive pelo dono) com ambiente super aconchegante. Lá os visitantes tem oportunidade de deixarem suas mensagens nas paredes do restaurante. Comida deliciosa e bem servida. Indico o creme de camarão servido no abacaxi. Delicia!!! Preço bom.

(Translated by Google) We were very well attended to. The atmosphere was very private. We ate the shrimp in pineapple and the Uruguayan picanha. They were the best dishes we have ever eaten. The picanha was a highlight, served perfectly cooked, and it was AMAZING! (Original) Fomos super bem atendidos. Clima bem reservado. Comemos o camarão no abacaixi e a picanha uruguaia. Foram os melhores pratos que já comemos. Destaque para picanha que, servida ao ponto da casa, estava INCRÍVEL!

(Translated by Google) The best shrimp and pineapple in Morro de São Paulo! Excellent food, cozy atmosphere, fair prices and the coldest Heineken in Morro!! It's worth having dinner there!! And you can even leave a message on the wall!!! :D (Original) Melhor Camarão no Abacaxi de Morro de São Paulo! Comida excelente, ambiente aconchegante, preço justo e a Heineken mais gelada do Morro!! Vale a pena o jantar lá!! E ainda pode deixar recadinho na parede!!! :D

(Translated by Google) We ate at several restaurants in Morro de São Paulo, all of which were excellent, but we only went back to two, the one at the guesthouse and El Sítio. We tried the seafood risotto and the shrimp in pineapple, both excellent. (Original) Comemos em vários restaurantes em Morro de São Paulo, todos ótimos, porém, só repetimos dois, o da pousada e o El Sítio. Experimentamos o risoto de frutos do mar e o camarão no abacaxi, ambos excelentes.

Can't recommend it at all. We stopped by for a quick coffee. First it took 20' to get the coffees. Coffee with milk was 12 real, without 8. Plus 10% service charge and 11 real couvert. So we paid 33 real for 2 coffees! Avoid!

Do not recommend this place. There are flies swarming around the tables, landing on food and the sand below is dirty with cigarette butts and trash from the many tourists. As for the food, it was not good. The pineapple shrimp came into the table covered in cheese and there was no mention of cheese in the menu. I am lactose intolerant so I couldn’t eat it and had to switch plates. The octopus was inedibly rubbery. The rice and vegetables were cold and the rice was broken and overcooked even. When the food arrived the flies were swarming and landing on the food, it was so off putting that we left the restaurant after having the food on the table for less than 10 minutes. Absolutely wouldn’t recommend this place.

The staff is super welcoming. Carbonara wasn’t the best but the Bolognese was something awesome, try to go for the handmade pasta dishes. The space is very good and fresh

Awful, never again! We ordered some césar salade at the restaurant's annex situated in the premises of Hôtel Aqua, at the start of the second beach. Waiting time was 50 minutes, although the restaurant was almost empty. There were flies in our salads. Many... Service was atrocious. And food was expensive. This was our worst food experience in Morro de Sao Paulo. And in Brasil as a whole.

quite disappointed as the location is great, however the seating is very uncomfortable, the food below average - picanha arrived with no flavour, hard to chew and and cooked very poorly/meat was poor quality. service was okay, music is very loud at the evening. edit: when we asked for deduction on 3 portions which were returned, they deducted 40 BRL on 387 BRL they billed us for meat that was not eatable.

The prices are really high for a medium quality. We paid 300 RS for two drinks, a starter and two plates with fish. The main course came cold to us and my fish was really salty and fatty. The vegetables as side dishes were just a few, so they gave us more when we were asking for (which were also cold).

It’s a restaurant on the beach, that’s the schtick, not the food. So at that it succeeds. A great place to be to drink and eat. If you need an amazing meal, keep on searching. If you’ll be happy with food that isn’t bad, and cocktails that are pretty good, this is your spot.

We went here, it was as good as empty. The waiter ensured us there would be live music, which we didn't really need. Place is nicely decorated and the food that was served was very good. We had the meat and spaghetti, both were nice. We took some dessert: moelleux which was excellent!!! The caiperinhas however were far too bitter and seemed to lack cachacha.

Romantic place for couples, with good food. The atmosphere is really good and the food is typically Italian - you get the feeling lime you did a quick trip to Italy. The owner really cares about the guests and talks with all of them, which makes you feel very welcomed. The Menue could be a bit larger for my taste.

Tasty and good prices! Plus the staff is really friendly and the the venue is very cute. We had the lasagne bolognese the steozzapretti with amatriciana and two aperol and paid 170 reais!! Very much recommended!

One of the best gnochis I ever had. All homemade. Highly recommended

Delicious Italian food. No menu card but a lot of options for the day, also some for vegetarian options! Top service with nice personnel. Also English speaking! Top location. There was live music. I love it.

Very friendly staff. The food varied in quality, mostly good, but the owner was very happy to hear our feedback.

Tried to eat here twice. Really terrible service both times asked for a menu and was ignored. Second time I waited around for 5/6 minutes asked the waiter twice - just waved me off - even walked by me and asked me to move. Never seen anything like this.

The lasagna was ok but the spagheti where expensive and the quality not good at all. Same with the ravioli.

Amazing authentic Italian pizza.

Best pizza we’ve had in Brazil and great service

The pousada is in a prime location, close to everything. The bangalow we stayed in was absolutely amazing and gave us a tropical island stay feel. Breakfast is very good and has quite a few things from Bahia. And the last, but not the least, the staff are very kind and friendly. They do all they can to help and are always smiling. Food tip: try their pizza, probably the best on the island!

Food would be much better and closer to Italian food if they used less amount of ingredients in the pizza and if the broth for the pasta was of higher quality. The pasta is homemade and noticeable but the sauce and seafood did not taste as good. Service is very friendly

Very disappointed. Waiters are not friendly at all. They forgot to bring one of our plates so one of us had to eat after we all had finished, and they did not even excuse themselves for this, nothing! On top of that the live singer was singing off-tune the whole time and they added an item for "music" on the bill without any warning. A bad experience, especially after having tried another Italian place for lunch the same day, with great service. Otherwise, the food was decent, although the wine they encourage you to buy (a bottle is set on every table) is disappointing.

My partner and I were really happy with the taste and size of our pizzas. We also had an amazing music so overall 5/5

It’s good for a coffee break! A good service and location! We also had dinner here which was fine:) A dessert set(Chocolate tart and coffee) was delicious and a great deal!

The place is located really close to the port, unfortunately it’s really bad. The staff is far from being welcoming. Also we ordered bolinho de carne and even tho it was really expensive, the center was still frozen meaning its industrial frozen food selled at homemade quality food price

This place does not serve coffee in the morning. They only serve coffee after 3pm. It's an absolute insult on humanity and disregard for basic human rights. Do not waste your time.

Nice view of the plaza, good iced coffee and chicken salad sandwiches.

Excellent food and very reasonable prices. The chicken risotto was fantastic.

(Translated by Google) The proposal is very good, but the service leaves a lot to be desired and the orders took a long time. The dishes that served the brigadeiro were beautiful, but some were chipped, which shows a lack of care. The hot chocolate could also be improved; I found it to be fine. The cappuccino was excellent! (Original) A proposta é muito boa porém o serviço deixa a muito a desejar e os pedidos demoraram.A louça que foi servida o brigadeiro era linda porém estava lascada em alguns pedaços o que demonstra falta de capricho. O chocolate quente tbm pode melhorar, achei fino. O café capuccino estava excelente!

(Translated by Google) Café das Artes won us over! The atmosphere was super pleasant, the food delicious, and the service excellent. We liked it so much that we went back twice during our stay in Morro de São Paulo. It's definitely worth a visit! (Original) O Café das Artes nos conquistou! Ambiente super agradável, comida deliciosa e atendimento ótimo. Gostamos tanto que voltamos duas vezes durante nossa estadia em Morro de São Paulo. Vale muito a pena conhecer!

They have a buffet inside the restaurant and had Muqueca. However we ordered Muqueca Mista (Fish with shrimp sauce) itself from the menu.(Because it looked tastier in the Google photos) It was one of the best Muqueca I’ve ever had. There were quite many flies at outside table. Inside tables might be better for people who don’t want to be bothered your meal time with flies. Also caipirinha is VERY sweet. You might want to order it with “Com pouco açúcar(with a little sugar/less sugar)”.

Lovely English speaking staff and both the vegetarian moqueca and the make-your-own pasta were delicious, huge portions as well.

I’m 100% the shrimps were NOT fresh, small portions. Avoid considering so many great places around

(Translated by Google) Great restaurant! We ordered a shrimp risotto and a pasta with shrimp and fine herbs! We loved it! For those who don't like herbs very much, don't order this pasta, as it comes with a lot of herbs, I like it so I loved it!!! Everything was great! (Original) Ótimo restaurante! Pedimos um risoto de camarão e uma massa com camarões e ervas finas! Amamos! Para quem não gosta muito de ervas, não peça essa massa, pois vem com bastante ervas, eu gosto então amei!!! Tudo ótimo!

(Translated by Google) The dishes are well served and delicious! I had a drink and my husband had a caipiroska. I had steak with pasta and he had shrimp in pineapple. I had a coke. I only took a picture of the drink 😅 (Original) Os pratos são bem servidos e deliciosos! Tomei um drink e meu esposo uma caipiroska Comi filé com massa e ele comeu camarão no abacaxi. Bebi uma coca. Só tirei foto do drink 😅

(Translated by Google) Great place! Service was excellent and food was great too!!! Dishes with a special seasoning! I recommend the shrimp pasta and especially the Shrimp Bobó! We came back because in addition to the delicious food, the great service and kindness brought us back! I highly recommend it! (Original) Ótimo lugar! Atendimento nota 11 e comida também!!! Pratos com um tempero especial! Indico as massas com camarão e principalmente o Bobó de Camarão! Voltamos pq além da comida saborosa o ótimo atendimento e gentileza nos trouxe de volta! Indico muito!

(Translated by Google) As for the crepe I ordered, I regret it for a long time, because I have to choose four ingredients for the crepe, and the seasoning is also part of it (basil, garlic)! I pay R$5.00 for anything over the top. The price is exorbitant, R$28.00 for a single crepe. (Original) Quanto ao crepe, que eu pedi, me arrependo longamente, pois começa que eu tenho que escolher quatro componentes do crepe, sendo que tempero também faz parte (manjericão, alho)! O que exceder pago R$ 5,00. O valor ê exorbitante, R$ 28,00 por um crepeInho sem linha.

Amazing food and amazing atmosphere. The live music was beautiful and the service was extremely friendly. There is a nice awning with adequate cover even when it’s raining.

We ate here in our last night and loved the view and the food! Was a great way to end the night. The owner/manager (who also asked us to leave a review) was great. She accommodated our large group with 3 kids. Our only hiccup was they were out of the lobster (luckily we had some early in the week), but the other options were just as delicious as the lobster looked. Would highly recommend a dinner here at least once while at Morro De Sao Paolo!

We went to the restaurant on Christmas Eve, which we paid for in advance. We chose from the Christmas menu which was very expensive so we were expecting it to be really good. The food was average at best - the salad was mostly rocket, the tuna tartare was made with a sweet cream, the mains were very small - I ordered moqueca but the plate was mostly rice and farofa with a tiny amount of moqueca served on the plate. The main course took a crazy long time to arrive, which we had to ask the waiter for 3 times before it arrived. When it did arrive it was almost cold so it had obviously been sitting out. We also had to ask twice before the desert came. The food and experience were not worth the money we paid at all.

One of the best restaurants from Morro de São Paulo. The space is super nice, great view, and with great entertainment. Now, about the food: super good! We had the seafood risoto and the salmon with puree, and both were great. But the high point of the meal course was the entrance: the best ceviche that I ever had, you should try. I would go back to this restaurant for sure.

Save your money paying the cover fee to Toca and come here for the sunset, great view (though it was rainy when we went) and good drinks

I had the best food of the island in this location. I ordered the “Festival de Friars do Mar”. Everything was delicious. The banana mouse was a highlight. I’ve never tried something like this. I highly recommend this location. We went in a huge group of people without telling them before. But they managed everything great. Location is beautiful with a nice view over the little harbour.

Beautiful view, incredible staff, and as someone who has been to Morro tons of times: THE BEST LOBSTER ON THE ISLAND!!!!

Wow this place is incredible hands down one of the best burgers I had in a long time ! My wife the vegetarian food was amazing - fresh food and great atmosphere! The tea and coffee look amazing too! 10/10

Extremely good food, made with love. The chef is excellent and accommodating to vegans. Was a pleasure to be able to experience good typical dishes from Bahia in this way. Morro de SP has limited vegan options, but this place makes up for it!

The food was delicious! One of the best banana da terra moquecas that I have had in Brazil. It’s also relatively inexpensive and they have quite some vegan and vegetarian options

The waitress was so friendly. The coffee and food was amazing, we ate here 4 times. I'm gonna miss it.

Delicious chick pea bobo a nice vegetarian option in a place with not very many vegetarian places. The staff and owner is super friendly, we loved this place, would highly recommend.

A lot of coffee options but flavored coffees were too sweet. Only dairy milk was available. Nice atmosphere.

I went on vacation in Morro de Sao Paolo and ended up eating here 4 times in three days! All of the food is made with top ingredients and the espressos are perfect!

(Translated by Google) The cake was so fluffy, the filling was delicious, and the decorations were beautifully done. The service was friendly and attentive. I'll be ordering again! (Original) Bolo fofissimo, recheio delicioso e a decoração muito bem feita, além do atendimento ter sido pratico e atencioso. Vou encomendar sempre!

(Translated by Google) affordable price, wonderful cake, all the party guests loved it!! I will definitely order more. (Original) preço acessível, Bolo maravilhoso, todos os convidados da festa amaram!!com certeza pedirei mais vezes.

(Translated by Google) Very tasty and well made, not to mention the perfection of the design... I loved it ❣️ (Original) Muito gostoso e bem feito, sem contar a perfeição do design... Ameiiiiii ❣️

(Translated by Google) The best brigadeiro and birthday cake I've ever had in Morro de São Paulo. Excellent flavor, consistency and harmony between the filling and the cake batter. I highly recommend it to anyone who comes to visit us on the island and needs to make a last-minute surprise. Congratulations Mar de Doces Caseiros... (Original) O melhor brigadeiro e bolo de aniversário que já comi em Morro de São Paulo. Excelentes no sabor, na consistência e na harmonia entre o recheio e massa do bolo.

(Translated by Google) Very nice apartment, new and quite equipped. As a detail to highlight for future guests, the access to it, although it is very close to beach 2, which is where the most activity is, has a very long staircase, about 220 steps approx (with a good view, to rest and contemplate the landscape). The rest is excellent, and it is very close to everything. (Original) Muy lindo departamento, nuevo y bastante equipado. Cómo detalle a destacar para futuros huéspedes, el acceso al mismo si bien es muy cercano a playa 2, que es donde está la mayor actividad, tiene una escalera muy larga, cómo de unos 220 escalones aprox (con buena vista, para descansar y contemplar el paisaje). Lo demás es excelente, y está muy cercano de todo.

(Translated by Google) 5: days of terror I stayed in this house from 01/23 to 01/27 I don't recommend it, it's on top of a hill in a community, every day I woke up to a couple fighting in the alleys near the house, not to mention that nothing there works, the stove is clogged with no household utensils, my wife made coffee in a frying pan, lol, the blender doesn't work, the wi-fi doesn't work, and to get to this place you have to climb 240 steps, the worst accommodation of my life, in other words, the house of terror, I don't know how the people on booking praise a place like that, I wouldn't recommend it even to my worst enemy!!! (Original) 5:dias de terror fiquei nessa casa do dia 23/01 a27/01 não recomendo fica no alto de um morro em uma comunidade todo dia acordava com um casal brigando nas vielas próxima a casa isso sem contar que nada lá funciona fogão entupido sem utensílios domésticos milha esposa fez café em uma frigideira kkkkk liquidificador não funciona wi-fi não funciona fora que para se chegar nesse local tem que subir 240 degraus pior hospedagem de minha vida ou seja a casa do terror não sei como o pessoal no booking elogia um lugar desses não indico nem pro meu pior inimigo!!!

(Translated by Google) Terrible experience, after more than an hour waiting for chicken parmigiana. The chicken came raw, it was so raw that not even the cheese melted. I canceled the order and went to have lunch elsewhere. This after leaving home at 8:40 am and only stopping for lunch at 2:40 pm, the order arrived after 3 pm and it was still raw. I will never go to this restaurant again. (Original) Experiência péssima, depois de mais de uma hora esperando por um frango a parmegiana. O frango veio cru, estava tão cru que nem o queijo derreteu. Cancelei o pedido e fui almoçar em outro lugar. Isso depois de ter saído de casa 8:40 da manhã e só ter parado para almoçar as 14:40hs, o pedido chegou depois da 15hs e ainda veio cru. Nunca mais vou nesse restaurante.
