Restaurants in Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Guaruja | Beachside picanha

🏠 Val Bar e Restaurante - O Melhor Restaurante da Enseada 🗺️ Av. Miguel Estefno, 2635 - Balneário Cidade Atlântica, Guarujá - SP, 11440-533 Tucked along Guarujá’s beachfront highway, this spot leans into the coastal town’s touristy vibes—prices aren’t exactly budget-friendly, but the oceanfront setting makes it hard to complain 🌊💸. The bright, airy exterior practically waved me inside, and thank god for A/C! ❄️ Some local joints skip the cool air when tourists thin out, but this place keeps it breezy even on sweltering days. I took a chance on the non-alcoholic coquetel Alice—big mistake for anyone who isn’t a sugar fiend 😅. Picture a glass piled with whipped cream, drizzled in caramel, and packed with what tasted like three spoonfuls of honey. It looked adorable (hello, Instagram!), but the sweetness could’ve dissolved my teeth 🥄🍦. Next time, I’m sticking to fresh coconut water with a dash of lime. The menu’s a seafood lover’s dream: grilled shrimp skewers glistening with garlic butter, flaky fish fillets in lemon sauce, and pastas loaded with clams. My shrimp risotto was creamy and al dente, though the portion felt more "tapas-sized" than hearty 🍤. Still, hard to stay mad when you’re watching waves crash through floor-to-ceiling windows! Pro tip: snag a table on the outdoor terrace at sunset. The golden light turns the ocean into liquid amber, and the breeze cuts through the humidity—just remember to order something less saccharine than my drink choice 😂 💰 Around 170+ BRL per person 💰 #ExpatLife #SeasideSips #BeachfrontBites
