Nice place with colonial ambiance in the middle of "restaurant row" on Samuel Costa Street, just up the block from our favorite restaurant in town, Bartholomeu (see my review). My wife had shrimp tossed in pasta, and I had a crusted filet of fish over risotto, and both were excellent. Service is prompt and cordial. Very little English spoken, but the menus have English translations. Wine & beer served. Of the two (this one and Bartholomeu), we preferred the latter -- but if you have two nights in town I would definitely suggest trying them both; can't go wrong with either one. Brazilians dine relatively late, so if you arrive at either one in the 6:00-to-7:00 range there is no need for reservations. read more

We are on a 2 week honeymoon in Brazil and this may have been our best meal. The bread is spectacular, and they brought out some free appetizers including smoked fish, pumpkin soup, and a croquette that was amazing. We then had some cheese balls as another appetizer, and then the crusted fish and squid risotto for dinner all of which was excellent. The service was top notch and we felt that it was a meal that merited a tip beyond the usual 10%. Highly creative and delicious meal that we strongly recommend. Also very cute restaurant and decor. read more

Banana da Terra - All gone! Gostei! Atum sugestão do chef. - Seafood Near Me - Paraty, RJ

Wonderful meal. Nice atmosphere and perfect food. I would definitely go back again. In fact, almost went two nights in a row!

This place was awesome! The food, the ambiance, the service, they've got it all right. We didn't make reservations. The place was full and we sat in the lounge for drinks until our table was ready which took around 30 minutes. Food: There was 2 of us and we ordered a few dishes to share. Appetizers: we got the little shrimp burgers which was excellent! It was a mini burger with a breaded shrimp patty, sweet potato chips and a cream based sauce on the side. We also got the marinated fish with mango cubes which came with whipped cream and was a new flavour combination altogether for us. For our main we got the fish steak which came with rice, pirao and a cooked banana and was really excellent. Finally for dessert we got the bananas cooked in sugar which was truly absolutely incredible. Crushed peanuts, dulce de leche, caramelized banana, ice cream... Truly decadent and would come back just for this. Overall, amazing experience and would definitely go back. read more

I could have easily eaten here every night! During my week in Brazil, this was my BEST MEAL, hands down. Plus, just checked my cc bill... Two entrees, appetizer things, bread, three drinks. Walked out fat & happy... $46 USD!! Wow! read more

Pricey but outstanding food and service. You must eat at least one meal at this restaurant. It will cost around US$100 for two with no appetizers and no dessert. Count in US$150 to get all courses. read more

We had multiple people recommend this place, and it certainly didn't disappoint. Both the service and ambience were very nice. The fish with the heart of palm risotto was fabulous. Others had the fillet mignon that they thought was great as well. Then we finished with a wonderful banana cake with cinnamon ice cream drizzled with port that I would totally recommend. The prices are somewhat steep, but well worth it. read more

My first time to Paraty I dined here every night... I loved everything about the restaurant...the food was exactly what I had hoped for...great quality, amazing flavors... I am back for a week and looking forward to dining here again read more

Service is top notch Food aligns with service We are back tomorrow night Try pretty much anything on the menu read more

excellent restaurant located in the charming centre of paraty. It looks nice from outside and inside. We read about it in our lonely planet guidebook and it was also recommended by our pousada. They make local fine dishes with banana. It sounds a bit surprising but it was delicious. We really loved our food and the settings. What shocked us a bit was the price. 152 real for a bottle of wine and a total bill of over 600 real for 4 people for just 2 starters that we shared and each a main course. Because of that, I wouldn't go back but trying it once is definitely a must! read more
