2 Best Restaurants in Florianopolis, The South

Take in the view of the Lagoa de Conceicao and order sequencia de camarão, a local shrimp specialty that comes in three courses: breaded, steamed, and with garlic. Casa do Chico is also a great place to try the stuffed crab shell appetizer "casquinha de siri."

This off-the-beaten-path restaurant combines no-frills service and undistinguished decor with an outstanding seafood menu. Start with the steamed oysters and then move on to the seafood stew or fish fillet with shrimp sauce.
