ULTRAMARINOS DEMAR

Ultramarinos Demar isn’t trying to be cool — it just is. The kind of place where the open kitchen speaks louder than the playlist, where the smell of charred octopus and briny butter hits you before you even sit down. There’s raw personality in every corner — from the chefs yelling over the pass to the unpretentious plating that lets the product shine. They don’t mess around with gimmicks here. Just damn good fish, cooked by people who clearly give a damn. The seafood is local, the technique is tight, and every bite feels like a quiet middle finger to the over-designed restaurants down the street. If you’re the kind of traveler who skips the line at the trending spot for the joint that smells like the sea and sounds like a kitchen at war, pull up a stool.
