If you're looking for the local taste of "tapiocas" (pastry made of yuca flour and filling of choice), this is THE place to visit! interesting, low key atmospehre, good service and a great selection of tapiocas merge into a very interesting experience.

We appreciated the food and the polite waiters. Do not miss the opportunity to visit this restaurant in Natal, maybe you need to wait a little bit during dinner but it is really worthy.

The wait staff here was very attentive and helpful. Also, the atmosphere is great: local artwork, lots of plants, unique tableware, and sandy floors. The food is also tasty and reasonably priced.

My favorite is the "carne de sol com catupiry cheese" I can't wait go there again soon! I find it on the pricey side though but I guess you gotta pay for quality food!

Had dinner here while staying a week near Ponte Negra. Good food, great atmosphere and as luck would have it the waiter spoke English.

All I have to say is that the service is simple, the restaurant environment not fancy at all - but worth it for the quality and variety of the tapiocas.

This nicely decorated place serves tapioca and couscous dishes. We had a Tapioca (kind of an omlette from maniok flower) with Carne do Sol (kind of beef jerky, local specialty) and one with Chicken and Catupiry cheese. Both were delicous and we were both very satisfied after the meal. For two Tapiocas, 1 beer, 1 coke and service we paid... More
