    This restaurant is very brazilian, with a great brazilian cosy feel. It has a lovely decoration and a very nice ambiance. The dishes are based on local products and the food is really tasty and well presented. A bit pricier than otehr restaurants in Parati but you will have a good meal here.

    Try de Fish with banana. Delicious!

    This restaurant is located in the historical center and it's one of the most charming in Paraty. The ambiance is fabulous, cosy and relaxing. The food is excellent. They have pizzas and brazilian dishes with special touches, as well as international cuisine. Many seafood dishes.

    There is also a lovely winter garden. They have also live music at dinner time playing mostly brazilian songs but also international music.

    I love the grilled Picanha that comes with black beans, rice and french fries. A typical brazilian dish.

    Though this was not my favourite restaurant in Parati , it's a good option and it serves fresh food. The dishes are mostly seafood and local . Its prices are also very reasonable so I think you will get a nice cheap meal at this place.
    The decoration is simple.

    Not only seafood, but mainly seafood. This restaurant now appears in 4Rodas Guide, among the best in the city. It's fantastically located, in front of Matriz square, and have marvelous dishes (I prefer the shrimp ones). You can easilly find the restaurant, because it has a hatchway, with the prices, close to the door. There they serve the great Coqueiro cachaca (sugarcane spyrit) as courtesy. Delicious food, salads, pasta and desserts.
    Menu in English and French.
    'Time Out - Rio de Janeiro' and 4Rodas Guides describe it as a top restaurant in Paraty.

    My favourite dishes are many. TODAY my favourite dish would be the shrimp spanish style, grilled with garlic, smells like heaven. The waiter opens the bowl with the shrimps, and throws rice inside (in front of you, on the table), and mixes the rice with the shrimps and garlic sauce... what can we say?

  • This little restaurant is in a traditional house just off the main street and gave us one of our best meals in Brazil, a tasty chicken curry cooked in the local cachaça (sugar cane rum).

    Because it’s so long since we were there I’ve copied the following review from Frommer’s website to give a more up-to-date description of the menu:

    “This beautiful little restaurant on one of Parati's side streets offers exotic combinations of seafood and tropical ingredients. Ponta Negra is a fabulous fish dish served in a coconut sauce with shrimp. Another dish stars the lowly squid dolled up with a banana-and-cheese stuffing and served in coconut milk. Another seafood favourite is the risotto with squid, crab, and prawns spiced with ginger and chutney. Desserts include banana sweets or baked banana.”

    Main courses nowadays cost R$21-R$48 (US$8.75-US$20) for 2

    Sabor da Terra: Best Self-service Restaurant in Paraty

    Sabor da Terra is a high quality self-service 'a kilo' restaurant (you pay by weight) ellected the best self-service in Paraty. Dishes are prepared with sellected and fresh ingredients with the intention to offer good quality and healthy products. The quality of their service reflects in delicious culinary and nice service. The ambience is cozy, comfortable and there are several tables also outside.

    It is open every day from 11am to 10pm.

    The menu changes daily but it is always prepared with a lot of attention and care. They offer a great variety of cold salads, grilled and vapoured vegetable, meat, fish and other sea food dishes, risotto, pasta and all kind of tropical fruit and most of the recipes based on regional cookery. Grilled meat and fish are prepared all the time and therefore always fresh.

    I was really lucky to discover Sabor da Terra already the first evening and since then I was their constant guest. Usually I took some sea food, grilled vegetable, rice, fruit and choose the dishes that were typical of the region. Everything that I tried was really yummy. I just could not stop heaping those delicious things on my plate until it was totally full - but always left it empty at the end :)

    SorveTErapia: Ice cream Therapy

    A perfect supplement to delicious dinner in Sabor da Terra is the ice cream in SorveTErapia (meaning ice cream therapy). An extra advantage is the closeness of both places - they are almost in front of each other. But no matter where in Paraty you are, it is always worth doing a couple of additional steps to visit this place.

    The owner is a nice and simple person who makes ice cream with his own hands observing the highest quality of natural ingredients. He likes to do experiences, a sort of researcher in the art of ice cream making. He has developed very light and natural formula to produce it. What he sells today is result of many years of work.

    The choice of flavours is endless; from (mostly) tropical fruits as acai, cupuacu, graviola, passion fruit, mango, pineapple, strawberry, melon... to creamy ones as chocolate, tapioca, pistachio, coconut and other nuts... The good thing is that SorveTErapia is self-service 'a kilo' place so you can sample various flavours. My favourites are cupuacu, acai, mango, tapioca and coconut. Ahhh, pure pleasure! :)))

  • Thin crust pizza in Brazil is excellent. The crust os paper thin and crispy and it's cooked in brick ovens just like in Naples. The food here was exceptionally good - pasta and pizza were excellent.

    The live bossa nova duo in the back garden was thoroughly enjoyable. We liked them so much, we ordered more wine and dessert just to hear a few more songs.

    Pizza!

    We saw lots of publicity advertising this place. There were no outstanding restaurants in Parati, just good ones; We wanted to see something around town; So, why not? It's not a cheap restaurant (neither expensive) it is professionally organized to sell the landscape and ambience to tourists, mixed with the meals and handicrafts, but... it's nice. We all enjoyed it, even the kids.
