Cabana PénaAreia

At nine in the morning, Cabana PénaAreia sets out its open-air tables on Rua Praia da Concha, and the day starts to take shape around them. It keeps clear hours: open from morning until five in the afternoon, every day except Tuesday.

The house and its tables

The cabana's signature is its open-air tables. There's no enclosed dining room to cross: you sit down, and Itacaré's day goes by right beside you. The space works well for groups, which helps when the crowd is big and nobody wants to split the conversation across two tables. Dogs and other pets are welcome too, a detail that matters for anyone traveling with an animal.

Going with the family

There is a kids' menu, which spares the grown-ups from negotiating with the little ones. The house also offers delivery, parking and accessibility, and accepts cards. For details on the menu and prices, the best place to look is the house's Instagram profile, @penaareiaitacare.

The right time

It is open from 9:00 to 17:00, Monday to Sunday, closed on Tuesdays. That puts it on the itinerary for mornings and afternoons, between one beach and the next. Anyone planning an evening out should look for another address.

Who it's for: groups of friends, families with children and travelers with pets who want an open-air table near Praia da Concha. Not for those looking for dinner or for a place open on Tuesdays.
