Nice place with colonial ambiance in the middle of "restaurant row" on Samuel Costa Street, just up…read morethe 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.

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.

My daughter and I split a seafood platter for two and it was delicious...loads of mussels, clams, shrimps, prawns, and topped with a fish caught from the bay. My wife had steak with fries, a strip of bacon and topped with a fried egg. The steak was cooked perfectly. Highly recommended.

Éramos um grupo de doze e o prato de uma das pessoas não estava disponível, depôs de 1 hora quando perguntamos pediram desculpas que não havia mais e pediram que escolhêssemos outro, o outro prato: Risoto de gorgonzola com carne, a carne veio fria/crua e o Risoto sem gosto. Tivemos que devolver. Uma bagunça total e nem estavam cheios porque era uma segunda feira. Deveríamos haver saído sem pagar. Pagamos e fomos embora, todo o processo demorou mais de 3 horas. Um desperdiço de tempo e dinheiro. Totalmente decepcionada. Estou admirada que tenham 4.6 entre 12 mil avaliações.... Devem estar pagando por avaliações! Impossível

If you are walking from old town Paraty, this will be the first beach bar when you hit Jabaquara…read more It also might be the largest of the beach bars. We walked all the way down the beach, and thus, this was our last stop before heading back to the main town. I wish we had discovered it earlier! The cachaca flamed fish was incredible. And the Jorge Amado cocktail was likewise delicious. The location is perfect with a picturesque view of the bay. Service is also great, and you can use their beach chairs for free if you order drinks.
