“ Uma experiência para almoço incrível!!! A Chef Carol é extremamente simpática e a comida deliciosa!!! Peixe fresco com acompanhamentos deliciosos!!! Vale muito a visita. A paisagem é de tirar fôlego… recomendo caminhar até o encontro do mar com o rio!!! ”
“ Para acessar o restaurante precisa atravessar de canoa 5min, melhor ponto é o Charme Beach Bar. Um dia antes, é preciso fazer reserva pois o menu e disponibilidade é de acordo com a demanda pois onde o restaurante fica localizado não possui energia elétrica. Comida farta, lugar de paz, a beira de uma lagoa, não é boa para nado pois a areia afunda com muita facilidade. Para acessar o mar que fica ao fundo, são de 20 a 30 min de caminhada, lá não há nenhuma estrutura. A Carol e seus funcionários são uma simpatia, o que torna a experiência ainda melhor. Canoa 30,00 ida e volta por pessoa Valor por pessoa o almoço estava 140,00 Caipirinha 35,00 ”

“ Getting there might not be super easy, but this is definitely a place I strongly recommend. We crossed the lagoon kitesurfing in 5 minutes and enjoyed our lunch at Maria Farinha. I think it’s possible to cross the lagoon by boat too. Fresh fish, good service, friendly staff. What else? ”
“ A great experience. The food was great and so fresh. They adapted the menu for a vegetarian. It’s was really great and the staff spoke English and French which was amazing. Moreover this establishment aims to give annual salaries to its workers guaranteeing them full year employment. This is a huge plus for us. I really really appreciated ou experience. ”
“ This is a true hidden gem in Atins! Already the way is an experience as you cross with a boat that she organizes for you. The owner Carol is a lovely and passionate cook and will make you feel at home from the time you arrive. The quality of the food is amazing and you taste the freshness with every bite. Price was more than fair and we are sure the place will expand as she becomes more known! ”
