If you've visited a Pará beach town, you'll recognize some of the dishes at this popular restaurant. Caranguejo (crab feast) is an Algodoal staple and a crowd favorite, served with a hammer for cracking the shells. And then there's the buffalo fillet, a taste of Ilha Marajó. The pizza is great too.
