Camarote
Itaipu

Freshly harvested from the Atlantic, the seafood at this Niterói landmark is defined by its proximity to the salt-sprayed shores of Itaipu. The signature 'Camarão na Moranga' arrives as a visual spectacle, featuring a whole roasted pumpkin filled with a rich, creamy shrimp stew. The technique involves slow-braising the shellfish in a base of coconut milk and dende oil, ensuring a velvety consistency that coats the palate. Aromas of toasted coriander and tropical lime rise from the steam, inviting a deep dive into Brazilian coastal traditions. The texture of the tender, snap-fresh shrimp contrasts beautifully with the soft, buttery flesh of the pumpkin. Presentation is unpretentious yet striking, often served alongside fluffy rice and farofa to provide a necessary crunch. This culinary personality is rooted in the simplicity of the catch, where the mineral salinity of the ocean is balanced by the sweetness of local produce and traditional wood-fired heat.
