The oldest and most traditional restaurant of Portuguese food in Fortaleza. We have dishes of cod and seafood, prepared in the most traditional ways.

This Portuguese restaurant became my favorite one in Fortaleza. We made a booking in advance and got a response about the reservation very quickly. (Many restaurants in Fortaleza don't reply at all to the reservation inquiries). We had very good garlic bread (freshly baked) and home made chorizo as entrees and shrimps as main course. The food was very good, but the best part was the atmosphere and friendly service we got. Even the owners came to say hello to us to the table and made us feel welcome. There are other nice restaurants by the beach, but it was very nice to come to Varjota area for a dinner as it felt like being more close to the real Fortaleza culture. The restaurants on the beach are very touristic, so I would make an effort and walk the 2 kilometres to Varjota. This area has loads of good restaurants in Fortaleza (famous about it) and if planning to visit Varjota I would recommend Marques da Varjota.

I have been three times at Gepost, as it was really close to the hotel and a convenient option. I think is has a nice atmosphere, you can sit outside and have a look to the see / on the other side of the road. So a nice breeze.I definitely do not like the beer in the frozen glas / there they sell you Ice instead of beer. That will never be 300ml. For me the is just fraud on your clients.. I do not approve that. -- But you can by bottles or normal draft beer.The food was o.K. but nothing special. E.g. the shrimp plate was 12 small shrimps, for the price you can get 1 KG at the market.. the pasta and pizza are somehow o.K.The service is o.K. but not special. It can take time to get attention of the stuff.At night there is music, can be really loud if you sit close to the band. take care.As there are not so many decent alternative I thinks its worth visiting, just do not expect something special.Hi Giovanni, how are you? We are sorry about the negative experience in our house. This comment, certainly, doesn't make part of our standard of service. We thank you for your availability in evaluating us, this way we can identify the necessary improvement. We have already sent the information to the responsible section and they will resolve it. In name of our team, we say sorry for your unpleasant experience in our house.We confirm that beer beer is standard and its measurement is 300ml.We thank for your evaluation and we hope you can visit us in another coming to Fortaleza and then a new evaluation. See you!

They say it here that "this is the best restaurant in Fortaleza", and they are probably right. The place is beautiful, the decor using local artists is intriguing but very elegant... and the food is really good... and not less, the service is very good too. There are special little corners that you can choose to have a romantic evening, or nice to go with a group of friends, and even for a bigger event, like the one I participated last night for my mother's 95th birthday, with more than 70 people, and it was really lovely. This is why I decided to write this review. Cheers!Dear Ronaldo A,Thank you very much for your kind words and comments about our restaurant. We were really pleased that you enjoyed our deco and specially our food and service.We hope to see you again in your next trip to Fortaleza.Best Regards,Jardim do Alchymist.

Fusão de sabores brasileiros, italianos e franceses, além de drinks e uma ótima carta de vinhos. Ambiente cosmopolita e aconchegante.
Reviewed By Perivaldo L
The restaurant has a maximum of 10 tables, so arrive early. We went two times to the restaurant and the service was perfect. Ordered two appetizers, with shrimp and all were delicious. The main dishes were also wonderful. The Filet with Fetuttine is sensational. The atmosphere is very pleasant, but lack an acoustic treatment, when all the tables are busy the restaurant is noisy. The prices are fair.

Clean decor and magnific food, a modern Japanese cuisine with local ingredients. I ordered a main course, but could have chosen many small dishes, which would look more like a Jap meal. The main problem is that it is too noisy.

Huge restaurant with live music elegantly playing in the background: enormous menu - we deliberately chose seafood based on the reviews. We weren't disappointed: we had a paella style dish of saffron rice with fish and seafood and it was delicious and they didn't scrimp on the seafood: beautiful muscles, prawns large and shell on and small shell off, lobster, white fish, calamari. It was beautifully cooked and very tasty. Good wine selection too and great service. We'll go again when we are back in town next weekend. Sadly the attached music lounge is modern stuff rather than traditional Brazilian live, but the music in the restaurant was pleasant enough.

Our family after arriving at Comfort Fortaleza went straight to Coco Bambu Frutos do Mar. It was an evening to always remember... The Server Mr. Gilliard was awesome, kind, professional, patience. We order a steak with spaghetti alfredo sauce, a ratatouille, and a tilapia dish cooked with vapor. One better than the other (just an eggplant that came a little bit bitter for being undercooked...)We had a wonderful time together with a great meal! Anyone in Fortaleza must go and check it out.

The best "pastel" in Fortaleza. And not only but also with several local specialities. Very good. You should list it
Reviewed By shenmen2017
To honor an employee who was leaving us, for special reasons, we met at the Dom Pastel restaurant for lunch on Saturday two weeks ago. I already knew the Coco Bambu Restaurant from the same chain of restaurants and had delighted myself with the excellent food served there. Thus, the Restaurant Dom Pastel Costa Barros was a pleasant surprise. Air conditioning, live music, generous portions and great flavor. Various options, which can serve up to 4 people. Agile service. Anyway, a good option for a tasty and affordable meal. I recommend.
