After about a year I can say this is one of the best places in town to eat tapas. The quality and flavor is very good with plenty of variation. With a Brazilian touch it's a welcome deviation from the standard dishes in the area. And the staff is simply amazing. Well worth a visit. We'll definitely go back.

The food was delicious — the small tapas with fried eggplant and honey, or the ones with shrimp, were wonderful, accompanied by a big fresh salad. The view over the beach and the sea was fantastic, and the service was just incredibly friendly. The beer was served in ice-cold glasses, which made it especially refreshing.

Amazing food, great service, feels like you’ve been welcomed by family. I would recommend the churrasco, moqueca, pan de queso and feijoada. I wish I took photos of the food to show you all. Nevertheless, will definitely be returning for the ternera con yuca. You can’t go wrong with having a meal at Samba Beach. The view is spectacular!
