I've read the place is too touristic, well, what you would expect? I liked the decoration very much. But i expected more from the food. I have tried similar restaurants & concepts with northeast food and their quality was higher. Close to that, I found the price quite high for the quality and variety of dishes available.

Food is good but too expensive. Nice architecture and decoration with a good atmosphere. You can find a great food variety and different tastes. The desserts are worst than the food.

I specially recommend the Sunday's breakfast, but stay there before 10AM, after that they start to arrange for lunch. It's a very good option for late lunch too, after enjoying the beach for example. There's a self-service system, but you can also order some dishes and beverages/juices. Average prices, about US$ 25 p/p.

It is a great place for having a taste of Brazil's northeastward cosine. Ok price and you pay per kilo. No play ground for kids and no parking(only by the road hard to find).

The food is the typical fare from the northeastern region of Brazil, the restaurant is self-service and the food is displayed around a large center table. The atmosphere is very rustical with wooden picnic tables and fans on the walls. We wanted to try Carne de Sol, a sort of jerky beef, and this wasn't bad at all. The rest... More

One of the many buffet style restaurants common in Brazil, Bodega de Sertao's specialty is the simple food found in the smaller country towns. There's a wide variety from Carne do Sol dishes, to Polenta with shrimp or beef, grilled chicken, pork and steak, various vegetables. Since you choose what you want and pay by the kilo, you are in...

As a native from Maceio, Alagoas, I know how to appreciate good "Sertao" food. My brother-in-law, also native and lover of the Brazilian Northeastern culture, took me there and today is one of my favorite restaurant among other locals. "Carne do Sol com Nata" is my favorite plate and I am sure that next time I visit my Maceio, I... More

This restaurant offers a buffet priced by the kilo with a huge and very well prepared sampling of foods of the sertão (dry interior of the Northeast) that is unique. In my forty plus years of travel in the region I have never seen more than a few small samples of these dishes on the coast. I have had small... More
