Made to order
It started with two chairs and a table
I am Iranete. The rancho (our beach restaurant) started in [PENDENTE: ano] with two chairs, a table and the food we already cooked at home. The first customers arrived with the transfers and 4x4 tours run by the Atins agencies, which stopped here for the tour lunch.
Every season we added a little more: more tables, hammocks in the shade, showers for those arriving from the dunes, and today we welcome groups of up to 250 people without losing the feel of home. [PENDENTE: quem cozinha e de quem são as receitas].
Staying here, and not in the village, was a choice: this is where the tour ends and hunger arrives.

What our customers say
The portions are very generous, I ordered a single dish and two people could easily have eaten it.
Great for relaxing and taking a nap after lunch. It is quite windy, so it stays nice and cool.
Excellent service and a very welcoming place.
