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.
