Fortaleza Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Fortaleza
Beaches are the top draw in this sunny, rapidly developing city, particularly bohemian, party-hearty Iracema, family-friendly Meireles, fishing and boating base camp Mucuripe and low-key Praia do Futuro. Stalls at the Mercado Central or Feirinha Beira Mar brim with local handicrafts, ranging from ceramics to lacework and leather goods. The Dutch-built Fortress of Nossa Senhora da Assunção in the city center, constructed in 1649, marks the spot where Fortaleza originated.

The best "pastel" in Fortaleza. And not only but also with several local specialities. Very good. You should list it

We had lunch at the indoor air-conditioned restaurant where they offered live music bossa nova style. The food was good, we ate a "camarao international" that easily serves four people. Its a kind of shrimp stew. The service was good but in my opinion the music a bit too loud.

Reviewed By LarissaPS - Fortaleza, CE
Food is delicious, the staff is good, the place is beatiful. Everytime I want to celebrate something I go there. Plenty of options, vegetarian (me!) included. I always choose plates that have a mix of different ingredients that I wouldn't use at home and it never disappointed me. But you can go basic too. They even sell some of the handmade pasta. Can't say a thing. One of my favorites!

We visited the Meatpacking NY Prime Burger on Wednesday. Half of the tables were occupied. On arrival, there was not a person to receive us. But soon a waiter guided us to the table.
Very interesting menu. We chose crab, bacon, mushrooms and blue cheese.
All very good. The meat was a little dry. We missed option to ask for a meat point, underdone or well done.
Nice service, friendly waiters. Fair price for a gourmet burger.
We recommend!

I've been to this restaurant several times during my visit to Fortaleza and the food never fails to impress me! Everything I've tried on the menu has been very authentic and tasty. I'm from California and have eaten at many different Korean restaurants, this place is the real deal.
Also has very quick and responsive staff, which makes for a great dining experience. Give K-bab a try, you won't be disappointed.
