What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Tambaqui de Banda is celebrated for its signature Tambaqui de Banda dish and its vibrant atmosphere, often enhanced by live music. Many praise the authentic Amazonian cuisine, generous portions, and the prime location near the Amazonas Theater. However, some diners have noted inconsistent service, with occasional difficulties in getting a waiter's attention and delays in drink preparation. While the food is generally good, a few reviewers found it to be average.
"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."
