Why Travelers Love Restaurante Tropicana
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
На русском The portions here are generous, and they don’t skimp on the alcohol in their caipirinhas! We were the last customers of the night, but the staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of. They even escorted us to our taxi and made sure we were safely in the car. It’s the kind of place where you feel truly welcomed and looked after. Highly recommend it! What a gem for gourmands - the food is amazing, we ordered the sea food platter and enjoyed every piece of it. Very delicious and the view with crabs is special. Excellent atmosphere in a lovely restaurant with delicious food! The service received from Corde was so attentive and genuine that compliment the overall experience!! Definitely to don’t miss the pastel of octopus and the brigadeiro cake❤️

Me and my family enjoyed our time at Tropicana, great food the restaurant was clean and very nice, the only thing I didn’t liked very much was the waitress coming and clean my table when we’re still eating, I am a little skeptical about this, the table can be clean after we leave 😉 everything else was great thank you.

Really nice place with great food and service. I just think there are too many tables for the space. We had the grilled namorado with sea food for 2, the oysters and the shrimp pastel and the crab pastel. Didn't approve the pastéis, not much crab taste and they were small for the buck.
