This restaurant surprised me with its food and service! Right off the bat a server brings the menus out, in Portuguese and English (a big plus), asks if I'd like to drink something (because in Manaus is very hot and over 93% humidity), then promptly asks if this is my first time, and since I answered yes, it was brought caldinho de tambaqui (tambaqui fish broth) with spices and not spicy at all but very tasty and packed with flavor.

I ordered grilled tambaqui fish for one, it came with baião de dois (Brazilian dirty rice with beans), farofa (roasted manioc flour), and pico de Gallo. This has been the best-grilled fish I ever had, I could taste the burnt fish skin which tasted much better than grilled chicken skin. If you happen to be in the Amazon region, please try grilled tambaqui and pirarucu fish and you'll thank me later.

Oh! When I asked for chili, the server came up with fresh chilies and a small bottle with olive oil, and tucupi in it. He then asked how spicy I wanted, muddled the chilies, and mixed them with olive oil, tucupi, and salt, and bam!

Despite Manaus' hot and humid I opeted to sit outside on the balcony, to my great surprise, it didn't bothered me at all because service was great and kept me hidrated and the view of the opera house was grand.
