What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Casarão da Ilha is lauded for its delicious Brazilian cuisine, especially seafood, and its vibrant atmosphere with live music. While some find prices a bit high, the generous portions and overall experience, including friendly service, are consistently praised.
"Great place to discover some local recipes - we had the beef filet mignon with local cream cheese which was super nice. Don’t be afraid of the prices, most dishes are made to be shared!
Service was GREAT with a very nice waiter and little waiting time although the place was packed. Live music was a great plus in the spacious terrace."
Edouard Henrio
"Hey, just ate at this fantastic restaurant! The octopus was a real standout – super tender and perfectly grilled, it was delicious. Our server, Pedro, was also great. Really attentive, helpful with the menu, and just made the whole experience really smooth and enjoyable. Definitely recommend checking this place out and if you can, ask for Pedro!"
