Palhoça da Colina

Fernando de Noronha


A feast under an atmospheric palapa hut with tatami mats and pillows, in the yard of a local home. All-you-can-eat grilled catch of the day (barracuda, tuna or mackerel) is served on banana leaves, with great side dishes such as arugula and mango salad, and banana farofa (sautéed manioc flour). There's a maximum of 20 people per night; reservations are required (with 50% deposit).
