Show up and sit down. Within 1 minute they will be offering you food ready to eat. Steak or pork or…read moreshrimp empanadas or this or that. It is all good. Also the drinks are great and the draft local beer is great. I don't know half of what I ate but it was all excellent and for the price I am stuffed beyond what I normally want; but the food was so good I had to keep trying more. Can't wait to come back on my next visit to this city. Word of wisdom from a local was to arrive after 7:30pm. They gear up even more "tapas-style" food options later ok n the evening as more locals show up. Don't pass this place up. Several of the host and servers spoke great English and were very happy to help explain things.

While in Paraty we went to Pub Van Gogh twice.

They offer five or six artisan burgers which are all reasonably priced (~$8-9 USD)--I'd also suggest getting two burgers and sharing. We were there during the low season so not crowded at all. The lone negative experience was the entertainment fee added to our bill for a cover song singer (it's apparently standard in Brasil to charge an entertainment fee when there is live music). That charge in addition to the 10% tip they arbitrarily added made it a little more expensive than we anticipated. Overall, great experience and reasonably priced food. Would recommend if you'll be there for 4-5 nights. Also offers a reprieve from the rice and beans that you are endlessly bombarded with at every restaurant.
