Today, the kitchen is commanded by chef Armando Nascimento – who has worked for the Atlantica Hospitality International chain since 2007 –, with the assistance of the lead cook, Antônio Brito, and the head waiter, Marinaldo Ferreira, who commands the team of waiters and cummins.

The team is responsible for the personalized menus on regular days and the special menu for theme nights, which has prices for all budgets: “Pasta Night” offers an all-you-can-eat buffet service for R$55; “Boteco Barbecue Night” features a full barbecue costing R$27.50 and a simple barbecue costing R$13.20; and “Hamburger Night” has options ranging from R$26 to R$35, all served with fries on the side.

According to Bárbara, the restaurant’s menu is prepared to please everyone, with options known in international cuisine, such as steak and chicken parmigiana, as well as Amazonian fish, such as pirarucu and tambaqui.

“Auapabá is a restaurant located in an international hotel, which receives many guests from different locations in Brazil and abroad. So, here we have the excellent opportunity to combine international gastronomy techniques with regional touches of our Amazonian food”,
