I and some friends spend an afternoon there, we had a lunch and we drink some beer. We spent about R$75,00 by person. The food is good, the staff is good and the decoration is very atractive. But I don't recommend for anyone who don't want to pay a lot of money by a lunch or dinner.

The plates are well served and the food is nice and tastefull. Prices are fair and the attendants are very gentle. I recomend. Appetizers are very nice as well. They serve a tastefull "pastel" with pepper jelly - included.

This is an attractive restaurant, right on the beachfront in Sao Luis. However, the seafood dishes are of quite average quality. Given that Sao Luis is an excellent city for frutos do mar, Cabana do Sol is a disappointment. It's an attactive facility, always quite crowded ( with the "in crowd" of Sao Luis) but there are better places to... More

French usually say the bigger the restaurant, the worse its food. I confess I prefer small bistros with a much more individual treatment, but Cabana do Sol was a good experience. This is a big restaurant in a 2-story house along Litoranea Avenue, with elevator, well decorated. The menu is wide, ranging from sea food, meat to other regional specialties.... More

The Carne do Sol is well served, serves 5 people with its sides for a average high price. The salad tastes good but is really expensive.

This restaurante has great ocean view and facilities. It looks beautiful, clean, modern and sort of fancy. The food is also great, expensive though. If you are a couple, order the "half dish", it´s more than enough even you take a child along. The main and more traditional dish is the "Carne de Sol fillet". Try to get a table... More

What a fantastic surprise this place was! Everything about it was absolutely perfect. The portions are MASSIVE - they said they're for 2 people but we were 3 hungry men and we only managed to finish about 2/3 of it. Largest steak I ever saw. Even the side dishes, the special salad dressing and the complimentary pastels at the start... More

A very well located restaurant with very good food. You must try the local culinary and ask for "Carne de Sol". The service is pretty good too.

A place with quality food (and huge portions, order one dish for two, even three people!) and nice staff. Don't be afraid to try carne de sol or other Brazilian specialties! You can also ask the staff to order a taxi before you leve, so the taxi will be waiting for you when you get out.
