Fodor's Travel

"In a restored colonial house, Santa Grelha is off the tourist path and specializes in exceptional grilled meat and fish, served with legendary home-made farofa (roasted manioc flour)."

Isabelle Leal

"Santa Grelha's farofa is so famous that it takes the name of the house. Made with fried onions, black olives and roasted bacon, it is one of the accompaniments requested more and more by the restaurant customers."
