Mezza Luna - Aracati

Tapas Boutique Gourmet Canoa Quebrada Chefs Cássia Andrade E Haidée Arruda Set in the sand, tables and chairs are scattered through this somewhat unconventional layout of a restaurant. After you place your order you can watch the chefs prepare it behind plexiglass screens, where the ladies work in close proximity to one another. The menu is extensive and offers items that are refreshingly different from the usual restaurant fare of grilled fish and camarão. There are tortillas, risotto, a variety of tapas style seafood, spicy steak (very good! , onion and ginger soups, mixed up seafood or cold cuts, and desert. You may see a bat hunting insects beneath the straw roof while you sip your choice of a few cold red wines while waiting for dinner. Recommended. Lots of flavour here.

Definitely one of the nicest restaurants in Canoa Quebrada! It's a little hidden next to the main supermarket but worth finding. The barman made the best caiprinha I had in Brazil! My friend ordered the caipiroska de maracuja which he actually made with the real fruit. So deliciouss! The boutique was really cute, filled with a bunch of artisan works like jewelry and these adorable little paper mache animals. If you're looking for typical brazilian food, then its not for you. It has tapas of a bunch of different plates. The menu's a little vague but the waitress explained everything. We ordered the spicy squid and the arab mix, but also got to try the chef's special of the day. It's one of the more upscale restos but the vibe is very much the friendly Brazilian that you expect. The staff seems really close to each other and Monty, our host made us feel like part of the family.

We had one of the best shrimps i have eaten in this lovely romantic tropical garden backyard and the staff was very friendly! Will definitely go again :

We liked the restaurant in the middle of Canoa Quebrada. Situated not on a loud street but in the backyard of a house. Service can be improved as well as the food. It was just ok but ok is not enough. We'll be back another time to see, if it got better.

Best experience in Canoa Quebrada! Romantic and cozy! Great menu and tasty food! They allow us to bring our own wine! The staff is friendly!
