Slide 1 of 3
I really had an amazing time enjoying the local food and enjoying the Brazilian music which was played at an African house which was just situated beside this place. The place was really vibrant and full of life and the staff was amazing. There are only a couple of waiters who could speak English but the staff is really helpful and the service is very quick. I really enjoyed my time here. A place to visit the night life in Manaus. They serve really good local food and local alcoholic brazilian drinks are also a must try here. The fried banana is really famous along with grilled brazilian meats
Price is right for good local cuisine. Regular happy hour and ice cold beer. Literally, it’s a beer slushy as is the beer in Manaus. The place seemed to have regular live events/music as my group went 2 or 3 times during our stay. Our favorite dish was easily the 2 person tambaqui. It should go with out saying but if you don’t like river/lake fish you’re not going to like this local delicacy. The gentleman I was with got some sort of pasta and seemed to like it. This was easily the best casual restaurant on the square. The drinks were a bit sugary but strong for what you pay. It wasn’t always easy to get a waiters attention but it may have just been us having typical foreigner problems.
If I could give 10 stars I would. A lot of friends asked me to come here and no regrets. The entries, and the main fish was something to die for ! Not to mention the service which was top notch! Try to sit inside as outside it’s pretty humid ( if you can bear it) really recommend this place!

Good selection of local specialities and good entertainment (dance and music). The food was good although the service was lacking (had to constantly grab their attention and they forgot things from of our order). The prices are at premium for the location but worth it.

Nice little place just beside the famous Amazonas Theatre. Friendly atmosphere and absolutely amazing tambaqui da banda. Perfectly prepared with delicious side dishes. This was my second visit and there will be many more 😀
