(Translated by Google) Ah, how I miss the pre-pandemic era when you arrived at the restaurant and were greeted with a smile and a hug from Chef Caliman. Now everything is different, as with space restrictions you can no longer sit in the place and enjoy a good meal. with friends; however, this does not prevent you from placing an order for delivery or even picking it up at the restaurant. My recommendation is the cod on paper, which easily serves two people and the flavor is phenomenal. Last time I tried the cod fillet and it was also very good - served with salad and rice. Although I've never had any setbacks with the dishes I always order. The cost-benefit is worth it, the dishes are not cheap but they make up for it in terms of flavor. Recommended!! (Original) Ah que saudade da época pré-pandemia que chegava no restaurante e já era recebido com um sorriso e um abraço do Chef Caliman.. Agora tudo está diferente, pois com a restrição dos espaços não se pode mais sentar no local e aproveitar uma boa refeição com os amigos; contudo, isso não impede de fazer um pedido para entrega (delivery) ou mesmo de buscá-lo no restaurante. A minha recomendação é o bacalhau no papelote, que serve duas pessoas com tranquilidade e o sabor é fenomenal. Da última vez experimentei o lombo de bacalhau e também estava muito bom - acompanha guarnição de salada e arroz. Se bem que nunca tive qualquer revés com os pratos que sempre peço. O custo beneficio vale a pena, os pratos não são baratos mas compensam no sabor. Recomendado!!
(Translated by Google) Wonderful experience! Cod with cream delicious and well served! Impeccable service. I recommend. (Original) Experiência maravilhosa! Bacalhau com natas delicioso e bem servido! Atendimento impecável. Recomendo.
(Translated by Google) One of the best restaurants in Cuiabá. Food made by the chef. Option of pasta, meat and seafood. It's worth what you pay! (Original) Um dos melhores restaurantes de Cuiabá. Comida feita pelo chef. Opção de massa, carne e frutos do mar. Vale quanto paga!
