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.

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.

I am happy to be the first to review this place. I have been going here for a few years now. If…read moreyou like Brazilian finger foods like pastel and coxinhas, this is one of the best that I have ever been to. It's a bit pricey for Brazil but it is justifiable because of the quality and variety. Most places only have a handful of varieties for pastel fillings. This place has at leas 30. I get shredded beef and cream cheese, guava and cheese, octopus pastel, muscles and creamy sauce, chocolate and strawberry... and the list goes on. The service could be just a tad bit better but it is laid back and the ambiance relaxed and chill. I also either get a local beer or a caipirinha when I am here. They have 2 locations. One is downtown Angra dos Reis and the other is outside of town headed toward Paraty. I go to the one outside of town a lot. Both locations are near the ocean and there are a lot of beaches nearby. There is plenty of parking available for both locations.

Lovely little place in the middle of "restaurant row" on Samuel Costa Street. (All Paraty…read morerestaurants of note appear to be on that street or nearby.) My wife had a local roasted fish with a local (unpronounceable) name, and I had a rib steak -- both cooked perfectly. Indoor and outdoor seating, but keep in mind that it often rains in Paraty in the late afternoon/evening. Service is cordial. Very little English spoken, but the menus have English translations. Wine & beer served, not sure about mixed drinks.

The courtyard walls of the garden area created a pleasant step away from the City Center walking traffic. The salad was refreshing and served well. The meat was soft and cooked as requested. The server was polite and gave a respectful approach to serving. Candle lights at the table added a touch of class.

Dom Mário is hands down the best restaurant on Ilha Grande in Abraão!…read more Make a reservation if you're coming with a large group or on the island during the busy season or holiday week, as they don't have all that many tables. You start off with a bread basket and homemade butter with herbs and they had lots of English music playing on the speakers throughout the night. That butter though. Try at least one of the many caipirinha or caipiroska varieties for 12-14 reais each. I tried the maracuja com gengibre (passion fruit/ginger) and maracuja com manjericão (passion fruit/basil) and loved both of them. If you're a foreigner ie non-Brazilian, let them know if you prefer more or less cachaça in your caipirinha to get the drink of your taste. Vegetarian dishes are very sparse here, though my waitress did mention they had a veggie risotto that wasn't on the menu and they may have others as well. They are mostly known for their seafood dishes. I enjoyed my filet with gorgonzola sauce too. The restaurant is al fresco with a covered roof. Some of the tables are in the sand, so you can feel like you're on the beach even though you're a few steps away from the sounds of the waves crashing in. All around, a great experience and not so in your face of a tourist trap like the beachfront restaurants.

The view outside wasn't the best since a lot of cars park there and there is just a wall. Our server was super helpful and nice. He was very friendly and got us everything we asked for.

I ordered the Bojo do casa and my friend ordered the sausage with beans, rice, and mashed potatoes. Both were solid dishes. They accept credit.
