Praia da Pipa


One of Pipa's few potiguar chefs runs this notable and intimate little place with just seven tables. A small but well-rounded menu awaits; whichever of the substantially portioned mains you choose – our favorite is the sesame-crusted tuna – you'll find yourself with order envy when you see the others go by!
