Coolest place on the island. Great food, good pasta and sauces, fish & meat. Wednesday BBQ dinner. Right on the beach under trees, chill out music and cool atmosphere.

Nice place on the more quiet end of the abraoo beach. Great value bbq's and friendly staff - I think its one of the best bars on Ilha Grande.

I recently had dinner here with my mother after we were refused the first time around for not having a reservation. Seems odd to need a reservation on this island! The drinks were nice (the suco de limao was amazing) but we waited 2 hours for our food to arrive and it was undercooked. The chicken and fish both had... More

My husband and I visited Cafe do Mar after reading the trip advisor reviews and spent the afternoon there killing time whilst we waited for the BBQ to commence. If we had just stuck to the bottled beers and water and had nothing else then we would have been happy - the setting was lovely (excluding the litter in the... More

We have been there in two occasions and we regret ever going to another restaurant in Abraão. Why?! 1) The place is set in a very nice spot. You are just few meters from the water, just stepping on the sea, overlooking the open sky, far enough from all the loud live music (I don't know about the BBQ events)... More

I went there in a rainy day, literally running, trying to protect my cell phone and cameras from the water. This is the first open bar with a cover to protect you in a rainy day, if you are coming from the Touristic Pier to Praia do Canto and Abraãozinho (like me). I ate some petiscos and drank some beers... More

We went on BBQ night -- large choice of kebabs, and ours were delicious. Lovely to eat right on the beach. Good value.
