My walking tour guide suggested this as the place to go in the Mercado Público. If you are solo, go during the week at lunchtime for the executivos dishes. If you are not solo, the dishes for 2 or more people look delicous! My dish was shrimp (fried)...
Pirão Restaurante
This is next to the airbnb where I am staying and was my first stop when I woke up on day 1. They have breads, pastries, salgados, espresso, and a buffet for lunch. They also have packaged snack items to buy. I have been twice for coffee and snacks a...
Alemão Café & Pães
I found this restaurant by searching on Google Maps for high rated seafood restaurants. My walking tour guide also told me that Ribeirão da Ilha is the gastronomy section of the island so I made sure to go early for a visit. As a solo traveler and di...
Restaurante Nacanoa Oyster Bar
Street snacks such as a pastel camarão and Pastel de banana with cinnamon are available all around the market. I got mine from a food cart outside of the market. Delicious and cost effective for a snack or small meal
Mercado Público de Florianópolis
I went for a beer and a view. They have a nice selection of beers inside. Each bar offers different things so I recommend walking around before you settle on a table. The top deck was limited to just a few on draft. I believe one of the bars sells co...
Balbúrdia Cervejeira Florianópolis
After sunset at the famous sunset viewing spot in Santo Antonio de Lisboa, this was the first place I came upon to sit and have a snack and a drink. The service and view were great, and I enjoyed my passion fruit cocktail and shrimp pastry (pastel ca...
La Canoa Frutos do Mar – Restaurante de frutos do mar
I've been to this wine bar at Top Market in Centro on a few occasions. The wines are great, the service is friendly and fast, there is often live music in the market while I enjoy sipping on my wine. Highly recommend a visit when in the area.
Vinguarda Wine Bar
I'm not a big fan of buffets but they are a thing in Brazil. This was a really good one! Like most of the buffets around, they price the food you select by weight. I do prefer that to the all-you-can-eat model where I either stuff myself or feel like...
I was attracted to the name of the place and planned my day to enjoy lunch there. I will definitely go back. Things were really fresh and delicous.

Amazon Fruit Bowls
Great beer selection and they even have some wine and champagne on tap. Pay for what you pour for yourself. Love the concept and the technology!
Wooden Tap Beer
This place is a VIBE! I stopped to have a caipirinha, which turned into two. 4 hours later, I was still there, laughing and dancing with new friends. I am not 100% sure if my drinks came from this bar or the one next door or if they are all the same....
Bar do Noel
I had a very generous portion of octopus on my arrabiatta. Delicious bruschetta, too!
Trattoria Carbone
I enjoyed a fantastic lunch solo on the deck, right next to the lake. It was beautiful, the food was amazing, the service was friendly and helpful. I was happy to finally try moqueca without paying extra for a solo diner. I highly recommend this rest...

Being off season, none of the places by the beach that Google listed as open on the map were actually open. So, I found one on the main road and navigated there. Except that I never found it. Just up the street, I saw Dale! and headed there. So glad ...
I had a passion fruit (Maracujá) caipirinha and their salmon dish. Amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant…:)
