Where to Eat in Sao Miguel do Gostoso: The Best Restaurants and Bars

August 6, 2017 Madelene Haan

São Miguel do Gostoso is a municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Norte in the Northeast region of Brazil São Miguel do Gostoso (previously known as São Miguel de Touros) was founded on 29 September 1884. Creation of the Municipality On 16 July 1993, the beachfront town of São Miguel split from the municipality of Touros. The new municipality São Miguel do Gostoso held its first elections in 1996 and at this time it was decided that the town would retain its original name of São Miguel de Touros. This decision not to rename the newly created municipality, left the local population disgruntled and as a result a series of requests for a name change were submitted to the head of the municipality. On 19 November 2000, 7 years on from its independence from the municipality of Touros, a local referendum was held and the town's name was changed to São Miguel do Gostoso. São Miguel do Gostoso - Origin of the Name According to legend, there was once a man living in the area named Mr. Manoel Gostoso who was known to give shelter to travelling salesmen. Due to Sr. Manoel Gostoso's unique sense of humor (he entertained his guests with stories and jokes) and contagious laugh Mr. Manoel Gostoso became known in the town as Mr. Gostoso. Thereafter, not only the travelling salesmen but also the locals began to refer to the town as Gostoso. On 29 September 1899, Mr. Miguel Félix Martins, in order to fulfill his promise made to the Saint São Miguel, inaugurated the first church of the instated the Saint's image. From that day onward São Miguel has been the Patron Saint of Gostoso. The local population then joined São Miguel to the previous name of Gostoso to create São Miguel do Gostoso. São Miguel do Gostoso - The Growth of Tourism In the past to arrive to São Miguel do Gostoso was on horseback. However, in the 1960s the road system BR-101 and RN-221 (Project Pólo Costa das Dunas) were constructed to improve the access between Natal and São Miguel do Gostoso. As a result of these highway constructions São Miguel do Gostoso is easy accessible. In the past the town houses were constructed mainly of "taipa" but are today mostly constructed in bricks and cement. In relation to tourism, the city had in 1989 only one Pousada (local Bed & Breakfast.

We've stoped here for information. The owner was very helpful. After going to others Beaches We came back for lunch. Ask for the "especial peixe camarão" - very good! Caipifruta with many regional fruits: try serigüela, caju or mangaba! The burritos are great too: big and good.

Pousada Mar De Estrelas

Restaurante Mar de Estrelas is located inside the Pousada and it is the perfect place to enjoy the delights of regional food with a special touch of international cuisine. The heat of the clay pots, leave the house specialties that win customers by the variety of cuisine. The dishes were created and prepared by the chef and owner Maristela with Potiguares flavors that multiply in the full table of homemade recipes that whet the palate.

My husband had dinner here twice during our two week stay. The food was good and the portion size very large. What really impressed us were the Caipirinhas. If ever you could describe a Caipirinha as "artisan", this would be the place to earn that title. The cocktails begin with limes picked fresh from the restaurant's garden for each batch of cocktails. The limes were masterfully cut in a way to maximize the juice and minimize the bitterness of the lime. The limes were muddled with the sugar and the Cachaca added. The mixture was shaken with ice and served. The flavours were perfectly balanced. The cocktails were also enormous, a milkshake size serving! Epic Caipirinhas.

Tuk Tuk

Reviewed By Maja S - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

We have been in Tuk tuk 3 times (2 times in a group and once as couple) as it was better than the other places in town. The menu looks great (it is difficult to choose) and all meals are beautiful and very tasty. Try the tuna as starter (you can also share the starter if you don't want it all). Everybody was very satisfied. The people were friendly.
They had also good koffie. Great price-quality ratio.

Reviewed By perfphysio - London

Nice location down the end of the street by Tuk Tuk. Runs into a nice garden and then down onto the beach. The Pizza's are made in a wood fire oven and are nice and thin if you like them that way. The usual cocktails on offer as per all restaurants in the area. Also has live music come nights. We took a group of 16 and it was no issue to get the order in.
