Wow. This was my best meal in Brazil. I got the white fix with honey sauce and it was life changing. PLEASE come here. Worth every penny. They use all local ingredients and have veg options. The service was also perfect and I loved the atmosphere.

A classy spot at the end of a busy street. They seated my wife and I as walk ins with no reservation. I had the pork belly, she had the fish filet with honey. Both fresh and excellent. They have a selection of local beers also which were good! The mixed drinks were strong and our waiter was smart, helpful and well informed. It had AC if you want some chill. Recommend.

Recommendable all around from a taste-quantity-price and ambiente-level. This is a place for Brasilian food in its core with international twists to it. Starters: We shared starters here and they were delicious. - Grilled shrimp (Camarão) - Ceviche (Peixe crudo, leite de tigre) Minor comments: The Ceviche could have had 1 crunchy element to it (In Peru it’s roasted maize for example). The fish was great. The shrimp was ‘drowning’ a little bit in sauce (though delicious); as I personally wanted to taste the shrimp as much as possible. Main: Was a traditional fish stew with coconut milk base (Moqueca) and other regional ingredients. It was comforting and tasty. Bonus: They brought a chilli oil without request. It was something that opened up the flavours even stronger and was maybe the most memorable chilli oil I have tasted thus far. Deserts: Chocolate mousse. Very nicely served in a dried half of a kakao fruit. As most dishes we experienced in Brasil, it was really a lot of quantity. It can be shared easily. Drinks: Jorge Amado, Coco were really nice - they were on the very strong end of the scale of liquor content (Depending how much you like cachaça, you can ask for less liquor or at more water) All the best!

Brought my husband here for a date night and we had a spectacular time. The food is stellar! We had two starters and then shared a steak dish and a fish dish both of which were cooked to perfection. The ambiance is really nice as well, its calm environment with beautiful warm decorations. The service was so friendly and welcoming as well and the wine list is really nice. We actually drank a white from Hungary that is one of our favorites and we don’t see often in international markets so that was a delight!

Lovely food, great flavours and interesting concepts. My favourite was the lavender milk pudding. Big thanks to Alan for providing great knowledgeable and efficient service

This might be the best restaurant in Paraty. It certainly has much going for it. But it’s very expensive for what it is and I was served an unforgivably bad pork belly dish here that was just so dry and evidently not freshly cooked. My partner’s fish was good but for the high prices they charge, hit and miss is just not good enough.

This is THE best restaurant in Paraty. I’ve been there multiple times and they’re consistently great. Prices are similar to other restaurants in the area but the food is definitely better.

Beautiful restaurant in the historic center of Paraty. Very good service, delicious food, beautiful decor and cozy atmosphere. On the expensive side but worth every penny. I'm recommending and definitely coming back.
