In the bay of Paraty you have a little island called Kontiki island where all you have is a little beach and a restaurant.
You have free boats going to the island from Paraty as long as you buy something at the restaurant.
The food there is fine local food, naturally with a lot of seafood.
The prices are not the lowest, but you pay for the location i guess.

It's a very popular bar and restaurant. It serves local and international food.
It is always busy especially at nights when its long bar and its good music are its main attractions. There are several offers every day for meals costing only one third of their prices.
The prices on the menu: appetisers 6-36R$, hamburgers, sandwiches, omelet 10-33R$, seafood about 30R$, meat dishes 17R$ – 30R$ , italian pasta 15-25R$, salads, soups 13R$
I tried shrimps with chuchu, salad, rice, beans (17R$ normally) which was goo$.d and it was on offer(10R) . I also tried fish accompanied with salad, rice, beans. Nothing special but acceptable. Soft music in the day that gets more lively in the evening.

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.

I had dinner one night at the restaurant Corte maltese and that was quite ok.
The food was decent without being gourmet and the restaurant was a cosy little place with very good service from the owner and the waiters working there.
They were very good at making sure that we could all sit together there as a group and they were quite attentive to us even if a couple of the people in my group were a little hard to deal with.
Favorite Dish: I had a fine pasta dish that was totaly ok, but not something i will remember for years to come.
The good thing about this place is the chilled out atmosphere and the excellent service.

A modern and airy place offering only refreshments, coffee and ice cream.. It seems the ice cream here is good because it was never empty. As I don't like icecream I can't have my own opinion but the place is so pleasant and tidy that it deserves a try.
Coffee, espresso cost 2,90R$, refreshments 2,5R$, water 2R$, beer 3,80R$.
You will find it just in front of the church of Nossa Senhora de Rosario.
