Peixada do Meio - Fortaleza/CE





Opened 40 years ago, the traditional seafood restaurant, Peixada do Meio, is one of the best of Fortaleza. Peixada do Meio attracts people from all over Brazil, as well as those travelling from abroad. With a cozy and laid-back atmosphere, this place can surprise you in many different ways. Perfect for people of all ages, it is a very large restaurant with much space between the tables, giving a comfortable sensation. It is well lightened, very clean and the service is very good. Perfectly located along the Beira Mar Avenue, right in front of the sea, it has a drop-dead-gorgeous overlooking to the fishing boats and the Mucuripe beach. This sight is better enjoyed when saw from the second floor. Besides it, the wide opened front side, with no windows, lets the fresh and pure air fill the place. The decoration, all inspired in the sea life, enchants the guests, who feel very amazed by the aquarium full of beautiful marine fishes. 





But now, let’s talk about what really matters: food! 



Masters in the art of preparing delicious seafood, the very experienced cooks have the pleasure to make you enjoy every bite. The menu has a wide variety of mouthwatering dishes, including: “Peixada do Meio”, which is the classic fish stew, their specialty; “Lagosta Grelhada”(grilled lobster) and “Fartura do Mar”: the amazing combination of grilled seafood and rosy lobsters. You’ll probably become much undecided about what to chose, because you’ll want to try a little of everything. 



My personal recommendation is Peixe à Delícia. You must not miss this exquisite and unique combination of fish and bananas showered with parmesan sauce. The fresh orange juice is perfect to accompany. The recipe can be found on their website.






When you visit Fortaleza you have to eat at Peixada do Meio. You won’t be disappointed!

The Myth of the Cave

The Myth of the Cave is an allegory created by Plato to illustrate society's nature and to explain the evolution of knowledge. It is written as a fictional dialogue between Socrates and Glaucon, in his work, The Republic. You can find an excerpt from the original text clicking on the link bellow: http://people.bridgewater.edu/~jjosefso/The%20Myth%20of%20the%20Cave.htm                 In this dialogue, Socrates describes a group of human beings imprisoned in an underground cave, where they have been living since childhood, with their legs and necks chained, so they could move neither their bodies nor their heads to look around. They could only see what was in front of them: a blank wall.                 Above and behind them, there is a fire, whose light creates shadows on the wall. Between the fire and the prisoners, there is a walkway and a low wall like the ones made to hide puppet players. Behind this wall people pass carrying a great sort of articles and object

Memoirs of a Geisha

Memoirs of a Geisha is a fascinating romance, written by Arthur Golden. The story is set in the heart of Kyoto and it shows the traditional Japanese culture from the perspective of a Geisha. Beautifully written, this book is about how a little girl from a poor fishing village turned out to be one of the most celebrated Geisha in Japan. It is a romance about sexuality, loss of innocence, and love. It shows every detail of a woman's soul, a girl who was forced to grow up too fast and who fell in love too early in a world where a Geisha must not love anybody. By contrast, she must be an artist, above all. A Geisha must entertain others and keep her world and her feelings in secret. Through Sayuri's uncommon blue-grey eyes, you'll discover a captivating mysterious world, and you'll find yourself sailing in a sea of emotions. “Sometimes we get through adversity only by imagining what the world might be like if our dreams should ever come true.” Arthur Golden, Memoirs
