Nice place with colonial ambiance in the middle of "restaurant row" on Samuel Costa Street, just up…read morethe block from our favorite restaurant in town, Bartholomeu (see my review). My wife had shrimp tossed in pasta, and I had a crusted filet of fish over risotto, and both were excellent. Service is prompt and cordial. Very little English spoken, but the menus have English translations. Wine & beer served. Of the two (this one and Bartholomeu), we preferred the latter -- but if you have two nights in town I would definitely suggest trying them both; can't go wrong with either one. Brazilians dine relatively late, so if you arrive at either one in the 6:00-to-7:00 range there is no need for reservations.

We are on a 2 week honeymoon in Brazil and this may have been our best meal. The bread is…read morespectacular, and they brought out some free appetizers including smoked fish, pumpkin soup, and a croquette that was amazing. We then had some cheese balls as another appetizer, and then the crusted fish and squid risotto for dinner all of which was excellent. The service was top notch and we felt that it was a meal that merited a tip beyond the usual 10%. Highly creative and delicious meal that we strongly recommend. Also very cute restaurant and decor.

While in Paraty we went to Pub Van Gogh twice. It's located in the historic town center, easily…read moreaccessible from either side of town with multiple local artwork shops and street vendors nearby. They offer five or six artisan burgers which are all reasonably priced (~$8-9 USD)--I'd also suggest getting two burgers and sharing. We were there during the low season so not crowded at all. The lone negative experience was the entertainment fee added to our bill for a cover song singer (it's apparently standard in Brasil to charge an entertainment fee when there is live music). That charge in addition to the 10% tip they arbitrarily added made it a little more expensive than we anticipated. Overall, great experience and reasonably priced food. Would recommend if you'll be there for 4-5 nights. Also offers a reprieve from the rice and beans that you are endlessly bombarded with at every restaurant.

This music venue/pub/auto shop just opened up a few months ago and it's a great place to enjoy live…read moremusic, good food, and beer. The space is beautiful, spacious, and well thought out. They have a system where you order food and drinks using a prepaid cash card. I think they are still testing out various methods of how they provide their services, as my mother in law has said that the payment system changes each time she visits. We ordered the fish and chips and it was delicious! The fish was fried to perfection and super crispy. Unfortunately, they do not provide lemons or tartar sauce so make sure to ask for extra mayonnaise and limes when ordering. They do not have a tap beer menu so you will have to walk up to the bar and see their selection. Strangely, you are not able to order directly at the bar and you have to go back to your table and order through the waitress. Paradise Garage has a great stage for live performances. It's elevated, well lit and they have a great sound system. My only complaint about the live performances is the lighting- there are two flashing strobes on the stage facing the audience and it makes it very unpleasant to watch the performances. It ends up hurting your eyes. The band Little Mou that I saw live was amazing, if you get a chance, go see them! Português não é minha primeira língua e estou usando o google translate: Este local de música / pub / loja de auto apenas abriu há alguns meses e é um ótimo lugar para desfrutar de música ao vivo, boa comida e cerveja. O espaço é bonito, espaçoso, e bem pensado. Eles têm um sistema onde você pedir comida e bebidas utilizando um cartão pré-pago de dinheiro. Eu acho que eles ainda estão testando vários métodos de como eles prestam seus serviços, como minha mãe diz que o sistema de pagamento muda cada vez que ela visita. Nós pedidos o peixe e fritas e foi delicioso! O peixe foi frito com perfeição e super crocante. Infelizmente, eles não fornecer limões ou molho tártaro por isso certifique-se de pedir maionese extra e limes ao encomendar. Eles não têm um tap cerveja menu para que você terá a pé até o bar e ver sua seleção. Estranhamente, não são capazes de ordem directamente no bar e você tem que voltar para a sua mesa e ordem através da garçonete. Paradise Garage tem um grande palco para apresentações ao vivo. É elevado, bem iluminado e têm um excelente sistema de som. A minha única reclamação sobre as actuações ao vivo é a iluminação - há duas flashes piscando no palco de frente para o público e torna muito desagradável para assistir as performances. Isso acaba machucando seus olhos. A banda Little Mou que eu vi ao vivo foi incrível, se você tiver uma chance, vá vê-los!

If you are walking from old town Paraty, this will be the first beach bar when you hit Jabaquara…read more It also might be the largest of the beach bars. We walked all the way down the beach, and thus, this was our last stop before heading back to the main town. I wish we had discovered it earlier! The cachaca flamed fish was incredible. And the Jorge Amado cocktail was likewise delicious. The location is perfect with a picturesque view of the bay. Service is also great, and you can use their beach chairs for free if you order drinks.
