My husband and I have dined at Cuíca three times—once for breakfast and twice for lunch. One of the nicer-looking restaurants in MG in terms of decor, Cuíca also has a nicely varied menu. Choices range from açaí bowls to English breakfasts and vegan poke bowls to burgers. The servers are always so kind and attentive and the French fries/chips/batatas fritas are to-die-for!

We had a great time at Cuica. Beautiful sunset, amazing food and outstanding service from the staff.
We had sushi, the chef selection. The fish was super fresh and the fusion and combination of flavours from the chef make it one of the best sushi we ever had.
The ambiance was amazing with the sun setting on the horizon, whilst we had food.
The staff was absolutely brilliant, they took really good care of us and you feel they care for the business as if it was their own (something is very rare these days).
I would 100% recommend and I’ll be coming back here for the length of my stay. The photos don’t make it justice.

Highly recommend! Diligent staff, very attentive. Restaurant was very clean as was the restroom. Cutlery, glasses, table, window also clean. Well ventilated.
Food was delicious and the easy-over eggs cooked to perfection.
Sorry we couldn't come back for the pancakes.

This sushi wasn't just food; it was a divine experience. Each piece, a masterpiece of culinary art, burst with freshness and flavor, making my taste buds sing. The fish was so fresh, it seemed to have leapt straight from the ocean onto my plate. The rice, seasoned to perfection, melted in my mouth, creating an umami explosion that transcended reality. Every bite was pure bliss, making me feel like I was dining in a celestial garden.
This sushi didn't just satisfy my hunger; it redefined my understanding of culinary perfection. Simply put, it was otherworldly.

Its expensive though

We arrived for lunch around 1 p.m. There was obviously a queue, but we waited about 10/15 minutes and sat down at a table. Meanwhile the letter came and we decided what we wanted. We waited for the desk employee who after some time came to us to say that the light had gone down and were waiting to …

At the invitation of a ‘local’ lunch used at this atmospheric beach bar. The location is beautiful on the Wooden promenade of Monte Gordo. The lunch menu has plenty of (healthy) choices to match an Ibiza feeling... The salad terriyaki with shrimp is particularly tasty and more than adequate. The Cu…

Located on the boardwalk in Monte Gordo, Cuíca is a great place for snacks, drinks, or a meal. The menu has a variety of offerings, from fish to burgers, salads to poke bowls, and breakfast selections to a full bar. The servers are friendly, attentive, and speak some English. The interior is attra…

Nice restaurant, very friendly service, good service, nice view. We've been there three times. Once for coffee with pastries, coffee was tasty and well hot, also tasty pastries.
