Restaurants cuisine du monde Paraty

Paraty is a town of fishermen and seafood. This charming restaurant at the very tip of the historical centre of Paraty is really a good place to taste seafood specialities such as fish moquecas and grilled fish with banana. The lobsters are generous and well grilled. The welcome of the owner and his wife (who also have a small family pousada upstairs) is very warm, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is romantic. An address that changes from the busy restaurants on the main streets of Paraty.

With its cobblestones on its front, reminiscent of the orla of Rio de Janeiro, and its brick walls, the torre da pizza has a convivial and traditional side that is not contradicted by the presentation of its menu. This pizzeria is a good option for small budgets in the centre, as it has reasonable prices and the pizzas are prepared with love (but it takes time): fine dough, homemade tomato sauce, and the menu offers other dishes that are not too expensive. There are a few tables in the pleasant street for lunch or dinner outside.

Sophisticated setting, white tablecloths and jazzy musical background, this restaurant is definitely one of the best in Paraty, the atmosphere is very romantic and sophisticated. The restaurant is specialized in typical regional caiçara cuisine. And it is undeniably worth the trip! We will appreciate the octopus or the fish marinated with mango, its purple onions and its coconut sauce. The meat is not in rest. For dessert, the cooked banana with its scoop of ice cream of doce de leite and crushed peanuts is a must. The plate is delicious and the note is salty.

For many years Sabor da Terra has been offering its cuisine to locals and tourists who do not want to spend too much without sacrificing the quality of the contents of the plate. In this restaurant by the kilo at the entrance to the old town, you will find a buffet that may lack variety, but is certainly of high quality at a very affordable price compared to those in the centre. Good minute grilled meats, ready meals, vegetables, pasta, rice... a good Brazilian cuisine without pretension. More and more guests are going there!

Punto di vino has established itself as a safe bet for Italian cuisine. Pippo, the Italian owner, always manages to find you a small place (prefer the garden, cooler), even when the restaurant seems full (which happens very often). Very good Italian cuisine with Brazilian flavors. Try the carpaccio triplo con rucola, a delight of local products. Excellent pizzas, a little expensive but prepared with good ingredients, Italian style (priceless). In the evening, regular concerts ao vivo, especially on weekends, for the atmosphere.

The Margarida Café is an emblematic establishment in Paraty. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and romantic restaurants in this small colonial town. You can eat or have a drink in a beautiful and large room with exposed stones, wood, sofas and period furniture and a small winter garden. Concerts every evening. Brazilian and international dishes (moquecas, paellas, pizzas...), some original dishes (crispy shrimps, fish in the chef's style...), excellent wines. Very touristic, but pleasant. Note a little salty.
