"Try Dona Cidinha's specialty, fish with half-ripe bananas, or the famous moqueca (seafood stew), which many islanders claim is the best in Rio de Janeiro State."

Lonely Planet

"Candlelit tables on the sand make a tranquil place to watch the crashing waves and scurrying crabs while you enjoy tasty moqueca (fish stew) and other seafood dishes for two."

Steve Burt

"We went for dinner at a really great fish restaurant, recommended by our hosts, called Lua e Mar. We had the typical dish for this region: Moqueca. It’s like a fish broth or stew and is really delicious. Comes with rice and a plate for two easily fed four of us."

Ulisses Schimmels

"We ordered a fish moqueca, a delight that I recommend, good food and a fair price."

Annabel Chen

"We had our last dinner in Brazil at Lua e Mar (best Moqueca) on the beach."

Victoria Pearson

"My favourite dinner was on Ilha Grande in the main town Abraão at a little restaurant on the beach called Lua e Mar. I had a local dish called moqueca which is a coconut-infused seafood stew served in a clay pot."
