Seafood restaurant
Brazilian restaurant
The overall dining experience at Restaurante Tia Maluca - Boulevard Canal was a mixed bag. While the food in general was of good quality, with excellent meat dishes and generous portions, the fish was unfortunately overcooked. The chicken, on the other hand, was average at best. The service also had its ups and downs, as one waiter provided attentive service while another seemed dismissive and failed to bring menus. However, the restaurant's location is favorable.
