Located on Av. Golfinhos, it offers the best artisan burgers, ice cold beer, different tastes of cones and more!
The name explains the format: here the fried food does not arrive on a plate, it arrives in a cone. A paper cone printed with the house logo, propped in a wire stand, with cassava sticks or breaded prawns coming out of the top and a little bowl of sauce beside it. CONE'S & Burguers sits on Avenida Baía dos Golfinhos, opens every evening at six, and is in equal parts a fried-food counter and a burger bar with its own drinks list.

The cone is the house dish and it shows up in almost every picture they post. It is a paper cone with the brand printed on it, held upright in a wire stand so it stands on the table, and inside goes the fry of the day: golden cassava sticks, breaded prawns, cheese balls, chips. A small bowl of dipping sauce always comes alongside. When a table orders several, the cones stand in a row and the table changes character: it stops being dinner and becomes a long round of snacks.
The other half of the menu is burgers. The ones the house shows have a soft sesame bun, a thick patty, melted cheese and a leaf of lettuce, served with chips on branded paper. These are not four-storey towers: they are reasonably sized burgers, made to be eaten by hand without ceremony.
The house lists small portions and quick food on the same menu as the mains. That explains how the place actually gets used: two people walk in, order one cone and two beers, and the evening is sorted without a main course at all. For a table of four coming up from the beach with uneven appetites, the format works better than a menu of fixed plates.
Beyond the fried food and the burgers, the house lists dessert and late-night food. The second is what really changes a plan: from Thursday to Saturday the kitchen runs until midnight, so after a long boat trip or a slow table somewhere else, there is still hot food here.
All three are listed: you can eat in, take away and the house delivers. It also accepts orders placed in advance, which is the one to use in high season: call it in and collect without waiting at the door.
There is a bar on site, and it is not decorative: the back wall is a shelf of bottles lit from behind, green from end to end, and it is the only strong block of colour in the room. The stated list includes beer, cocktails and spirits.
With fried food in cones and a counter behind it, the place reads more like a bar that serves food than a restaurant that serves drinks. That is the practical difference from the dining rooms along the same avenue: here you can stretch the evening on a stool without the table asking for the bill.
The room is small and open to the street. The counter runs along it, with tall wooden stools and low backs, and the top is bright orange: it is the first thing you see from the pavement. Behind the counter sit the drinks fridge and a chalkboard with the menu written by hand; above it, the shelf of lit green bottles.
The walls are plain and warm in tone, and the front opens completely onto Avenida Baía dos Golfinhos: from a stool you watch the centre move, the shops across the road and the people coming up from the beach. There are no tablecloths and no waiter with a notepad; the house lists table service, but the rhythm is that of a bar.
The house describes itself as casual and quiet, and also as somewhere with a bit of a scene. In practice it is a counter bar for groups and visitors — the two audiences it names — and it is good for children, which in an evening burger place solves the early family dinner.
There is not much more to it than that, and there does not need to be: counter, stools, fridge, chalkboard and bottles. You take the whole place in with one look from the pavement, which makes it easy to tell whether there is room before you walk in. On an avenue where almost everything else is an enclosed dining room, that transparency is part of the appeal: you see what is being fried, you see who is there, and you either come in or carry on with no awkwardness at all.
Among the services listed is ordering in advance, and in January or at carnival that detail is what separates eating in ten minutes from standing on the pavement for half an hour. Send a message before you walk down and agree a pick-up time.
It opens every day at 6pm. Monday to Wednesday and Sunday it closes at 11pm; Thursday to Saturday it runs to midnight. There is no rest day: the whole week has service from six in the evening.
Before eight the room is calm and the counter free: that is the hour to sit with a cone and a beer watching the avenue, and also the hour for dinner with children. After nine the centre fills up and a stool goes to whoever arrives first.
For the weekend, the detail that changes a plan is the midnight close from Thursday to Saturday. If you come back late from a trip or from Praia do Amor, there is a kitchen working here when much of the avenue has already shut.
It stands on Avenida Baía dos Golfinhos at number 621, half a block from the busiest stretch of central Praia da Pipa. You can walk there from anywhere in the village along the avenue itself, with no hill and no detour.
On the way back from the beach it falls on your route, on the same side you walk up. If you are arriving from Natal, from the airport or from another beach along the coast, look at the transfer options for the long leg; inside the centre, everything is done on foot.
For anyone driving: the house states that it has no wheelchair-accessible parking. Worth asking ahead if that matters.
Anyone coming up from the beach hungry and not in the mood for a long sit-down dinner: cone, beer, counter, done.
Families eating early: it opens at six, it is good for children, and a menu of fried food and burgers needs no translation.
And the group heading out late from Thursday to Saturday that wants something hot after eleven, with a bar open in the same room.
Every day at 6pm. It does not open for lunch.
