More than 60 flavors of sweet and savory crepes and the best sunset in the Northeast
On Rua Gov. Aluizio Alves, along the rim of Largo Barra de Tibau, there is a brick house with a tiled roof and its name painted on the wall in orange letters: CREPERIA PÔR DO SOL E ALGO MAIS. Folding wooden chairs sit out on the pavement, a frangipani is in flower beside them and, across the street, Lagoa de Guaraíras opens towards the bar. Out of the kitchen come sweet crepes with fresh fruit and juices in tall glasses.

A crepe is a dish built in front of you and eaten hot, and here the format governs everything else. The batter comes out thin and spotted gold, folded into a triangle or left open depending on what goes on top. It is served on a china plate, with cutlery, and eaten sitting down.
The sweet line is what defines the house. On the table you find the folded crepe with fresh strawberry, sliced banana and chocolate drawn across it in threads, a mint leaf set into the fruit. And you find another, open and more loaded: whole strawberries, a blackberry, half a poached peach in the centre and granola scattered across the whole surface, with fresh mint at both ends. That second one is what turns a crepe into a late breakfast or into an afternoon plate that replaces dinner.
The full name painted on the wall adds the other half of the list: e algo mais, and something else. Alongside the crepe come juices, served in a tall glass with ice and a straw, ordered in pairs because a table for two is this house's natural unit. One crepe and one juice per person closes the meal on its own, with no starter and no dessert: the kind of stop that settles the hunger without taking over the whole evening.
The building is exposed brick, its base painted, under a pitched tile roof. The street-facing wall carries the name written by hand in orange with a row of coconut palms drawn beneath it, and to the right a covered veranda opens up, held on brick columns, the counter inside and folding wooden tables lined along the edge.
Between the veranda and the pavement runs a low chain on colour-painted posts, marking the boundary without closing it. Outside, on the tiled floor, there are more wooden tables and chairs and a high metal table against the wall. A frangipani in bloom and tall palms grow alongside, so shade is covered for a good part of the day.
The marker to look for from the Largo is the carved sign: a wooden board hung from two chains, the name cut in relief and a sun wearing dark glasses and a grin in the middle. It stands at the edge of the bluff, so the obvious photograph is the sign in front with the lagoon and the dunes of the bar behind it.
From the covered edge of the place, looking out, what you see is Lagoa de Guaraíras: the water opening to the sea, anchored speedboats, the bluff opposite and, in the distance, the white line of the dunes. Fibre baskets of plants hang from the eaves, and the view passes between them.
This creperie makes no sense without the street it stands on. Largo Barra de Tibau is the esplanade crowning the Tibau do Sul bluff above Lagoa de Guaraíras: a strip of tiled paving with low chains marking the edge, from which you watch the water open towards the sea. It is the town's lookout and the point where the paths down to the lagoon begin.
From there, looking out, you see the anchored speedboats, the bluff opposite with coconut palms along the top and, closing the distance, the white line of dunes at the bar. At low water the sandbanks surface in the middle of the channel; at high water the lagoon reads whole, bank to bank. That is the landscape that comes with the crepe, and it is a few steps from the table.
The name of the house tells you when to arrive. The place faces west over the lagoon, so the golden hour is its hour: when the sun drops behind the bar, the table sits facing the reflection on the water and the crepe is eaten in that light.
Anyone who arrives earlier gets the other face of the same place: with the sun high the lagoon turns pale green, the sandbanks stand out and the boat traffic is constant. Two different postcards in the same day, and both are worth the walk.
Since the house also works takeaway and delivery, there is a third way to use it: order and carry the crepe over to the Largo esplanade, which is Tibau do Sul's natural lookout over the lagoon.
It sits at Gov. Aluizio Alves 334, the street that runs along the rim of Largo Barra de Tibau, in the town of Tibau do Sul. You can walk there from the centre with no detours, and there are two landmarks: the brick house with the painted name and, a few metres further on, the carved sign with the sun hanging at the edge of the bluff.
If you are coming from Praia da Pipa, from Natal or from the airport, look at the transfer options for the drive, then move around the Largo on foot. The full routes to this stretch of coast are on the how to get here page.
Once you are there, everything is a few steps away: the Largo lookout, the path down to the lagoon and the creperie itself are all on the same stretch of street, so you can chain the walk, the crepe and the view without taking any transport.
A couple after something sweet with a view: the veranda faces the lagoon, and the strawberry and chocolate crepe is exactly the dish for that scene.
Anyone who skipped lunch and does not want a full dinner: a crepe with fruit and granola plus a juice settles the whole afternoon.
And a family that has come down to the Largo to look at the lagoon and needs a short stop: order it, eat on the veranda or carry it to the lookout.
