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 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.

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.

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. The food itself was great for the price,  as it is much cheaper than most restaurants in the historic center. The portions were definitely enough to fill you up. 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.

There are about 5-7 different dishes of the day that you can choose from. I had fish with rice (and fries of course, we are in Brazil) and spinach and it was simple but tasty. I tried my friend's meals and they were also all good. Prices are low, food is tasty, it looks a bit like a canteen but service is nice and the atmosphere too. Good choice!

On a 6-hour walking/hiking tour of the beaches of Trindade my guide stopped at this open-air,…read morebeachfront restaurant and suggested I look at the menu and select something for lunch that we'd have as we returned from our hike and dip in the natural swimming hole. He pointed at the many seafood dishes, mentioned that all basically served 2 people, and noted that everything was very good. Hours later we returned, cleaned up briefly at the showers in back, then took a seat overlooking the ocean. Caipirinhas were ordered as was a side of beans. Then the plates started arriving. In this gorgeous setting, after the experience I'd just had, having this sort of food and drink was the whipped cream atop the sundae. There was nothing not to love; it was the most blissfully joyful dining experience imaginable. I'd ordered the Fish Filet in Passion Fruit Sauce (BRL $80, about $23 US, serves 2 amply) because anything with passion fruit is immediately improved by 100%. Perfectly prepared seafood - a lot of it - was topped with a deliciously unique sauce, the tangy passion fruit seeds in ample abundance. Served with rice and salad, with the gentle waves crashing below us, Brazilian children running back and forth, tired legs, sandy feet. Well, it was my idea of perfection. If your tour leader suggests stopping here you've obviously found yourself a high quality guide who cares about your best interests and enjoyment. If not, get here on your own and order just as I did. I can't imagine that I'll ever be back but I'm hopeful that my memory of lunch here will stay with me for the rest of my life.
