However, my philosophy on restaurants is "when in Rome, eat Italian food." So, in Florianopolis I had to try the" Shrimp Sequence." To start off, the restaurant sits across the street from the beautiful Lagoa da Conceição and has a wonderful view of the lagoon and looks like one if the nicer restaurants on the street. The menu gives a short history of how the "Sequencia de Camarões" came to be a local custom, so I decided to ask about it. The price listed was R$130, which is quite expensive, but what's not said on the menu is that it serves 2. They will serve the same meal for one at a much more reasonable price. Since it is the "prato típico" of the area, I decided to try it. The first course was fried shrimp and oysters, which were both very good. The second course consisted of two type of shrimp, but I tend to like my shrimp peeled and deveined first. It was good, but I ended up with really messy fingers afterward and went through a stack of napkins before I felt clean again. Final course was fried fish, fries and rice: fish was fine, but not great, fries were what you expect fries to be, but the rice was a bit undercooked. Overall, the food was good, although a bit overpriced, service was excellent, and the view amazing. I just can't rate any higher after having peeled two dozen shrimp by hand at a nice restaurant.

Went here for lunch during the week and the place was empty. The prices are on the high side since the restaurant is located in a very expensive area of the island and also they have got a few awards by Veja. The food is not terrible but not worth the price tag. The shrimp with white sauce was just meh but the fried and grilled shrimp were delicious. The service was average. Servers were not too friendly and it took a long time for the food to come despite the place been empty.

The Toca de Jurere in the Centro was closed for renovations at the time and since I was in town, I needed to get my fix in. My fix being the paella and the Bacalhau de Toca. At this time of the year, we needed reservations but we were able to score some earlier in the evening. The main problem that I have with this location is that it's so far out of the way and it's really really hard to find. Seeing how we were staying in the center of Floripa, the cab ride was quite long and seeing how it was New Years, the ride back was even longer. The good thing was that the food was fantastic and completely filled me up. I need to take a small nap after my girlfriend and I destroyed the Bacalhau de Toca and a bottle of wine. However, we did make it out for New Years later in the evening. For my review on the food, it is pretty much the same as the one in the center so I won't re-hash it but you can read it at: http://www.yelp.com/biz/restaurante-toca-de-jurer%C3%AA-florian%C3%B3polis I'll give the brief synopsis here: 1) Bacalhau de Toca is my go to dish here as the fish is cooked in a broth in a clay pot. 2) Paella is my second go to dish here 3) Bolinhos de bacalhau are a very good appetizer 4) I come to Toca de Jurere every time I am in town 5) I have never been disappointed by the food

First of all. The location of this restaurant is a bit hard to find if you don't know the area…read more However, this is a place that you need to go to. I've eaten fish all over the world and this restaurant serves some of the best fish dishes. I only pretty much only get 2 plates here whenever I am in town. I either get the paella for 2 or the Bacalhau de Toca (cod dish) for 2. The bacalhau de Toca is always my first choice. They cook the cod in a tomato broth with onions, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, potatoes and olives in a clay pot. The flavor is fantastic and the fish is tender and melts like butter when you bite into it. They give you a side plate of rice (the rice changes each time that I go but it's not white rice) to go with this. The mixture of everything together is unbelievable. The paella plate is gigantic and is enough dinner for like about 4 days. I've tried a lot of the main courses (prato principal) here but those two are my favorite and my go to dishes. For an appetizer, I suggest either the oysters or the bolinhos de bacalhau (Deep Fried balls of cod). They give you lime to go with the bolinhos de bacalhau and the breading they use is fresh and light. This restaurant is, in my opinion, the best in Florianopolis. They are not open for dinner on Sundays and not open on Mondays so schedule wisely. I will say that you will be paying quite a bit when you come here but it is one of the places to splurge.

The R$99 option allows you to order as many pieces of sashimi as you want. The wine and sake list are pretty limited here. That being said, service is pretty fast and the variety of sushi, nigiri and sashimi is a decent size. They also have plenty of other non-sushi dishes as well including your classic miso soup, yakisoba, tempura's, etc. There is also a salmon burger on the menu. DO NOT ORDER THIS!!! This is just a regular salmon burger with nothing else. Just the patty. No bread, no nothing. Just the patty. It's literally just overcooked salmon shaped in a burger patty. It is not worth getting and isn't very good.
