Vira Verão
Praia do Futuro is lined with enormous barracas, some with hundreds of tables under sunshades on the sand. It’s good for seafood meals and snacks – pargo assado (grilled red snapper) with salad is a favorite dish here. Vira Verão boasts a sea of golden-tanned goodness under coconut tree palapas (thatched-roof hut) on any given day, a requisite stop for surfers, windsurfers, kitesurfers and pretty much everyone else who owns a revealing swimsuit.

Camarões Restaurante
Natal’s most famous restaurant is a prawn-lover’s palace – some 36 varieties of creative shrimp dishes are served with a few meat choices for those allergic to shellfish. Cabugi (sautéed with farm butter, mushrooms, capers, white wine, cilantro and tomatoes) and potiguar (sautéed with vegetables, dendê – a reddish palm oil – and creamy coconut sauce) are the most popular preparations. Dishes serve two people only.

A Varanda
The lush patio and excellent fish, shrimp and beef dishes make up for the slow service at this restaurant set in its owner's home. It's 4km east of the historic center: take a 'Vicente Fiaro' or 'Santa Clara' bus from the Terminal de Integração, get off at CEFET and take your first right.
