Paraty

On the quays, a beautiful address, with several tables outside with a view of the schooners and the bay. Seafood and fish specialties selected by chef Maria Isabel do Amaral directly from local fishermen. 20 years of know-how for a gastronomic restaurant that combines Brazilian tradition with a Mediterranean touch. Also good meat dishes and homemade pasta (especially the excellent pastas ao vongole). You can also come here to have a drink, enjoy thehappy hour and the quietness of the place.

Right in the historic center, this new restaurant in Paraty offers a rather original menu (typical dishes enhanced by lesser-known flavors), including seafood specialties. There's also a good cocktail menu, perfect for an aperitif. The street-side terrace tables give the place a convivial feel. The decor is pleasant, with white canvases interwoven with wooden beams on the ceiling. The atmosphere is both chic and simple. The waiters are professional, and the live music on weekend evenings is pleasant.
