Frommer's Review

One of the most popular restaurants in Santa Teresa, the open and spacious Sobrenatural is still often packed for lunch and dinner. The menu consists of seafood in a variety of shapes and sizes. Order a caipirinha and some shrimp dumplings (pasteis de camarão) to start with -- each portion comes with 10 dumplings so it's great for sharing. The menu offers several grilled fish options, but the house specialty is really the moqueca. Just pick what kind of fish you want and it will come served in a piping hot stew with coconut milk, palm oil, shrimp sauce (optional), rice, and pirão (manioc purée). Portions are generous; mosquecas serve two people, the seafood spaghetti feeds up to three. Note: this open, breezy restaurant is great in summer but best avoided on rainy days.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
