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 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.

Service was fast and our waiter spoke decent English if that matters to you and tolerate our terrible Portuguese. The food was fantastic. My daughter and I split a seafood platter for two and it was delicious...loads of mussels, clams, shrimps, prawns, and topped with a fish caught from the bay. My wife had steak with fries, a strip of bacon and topped with a fried egg. The steak was cooked perfectly. Highly recommended.

However, for strange it might look like, the food is wonderful: tasty and well served. I had salmon with maracuja's sauce, and my girlfriend had rice with vegetables. We paid 73 R$, including sodas. The one missing star is for it lacking fresh juice and very limited options in the menu. Definitively the best place we found in Trindade, by far!

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.

Dom Mário is hands down the best restaurant on Ilha Grande in Abraão!…read more Make a reservation if you're coming with a large group or on the island during the busy season or holiday week, as they don't have all that many tables. You start off with a bread basket and homemade butter with herbs and they had lots of English music playing on the speakers throughout the night. That butter though. Try at least one of the many caipirinha or caipiroska varieties for 12-14 reais each. I tried the maracuja com gengibre (passion fruit/ginger) and maracuja com manjericão (passion fruit/basil) and loved both of them. If you're a foreigner ie non-Brazilian, let them know if you prefer more or less cachaça in your caipirinha to get the drink of your taste. Vegetarian dishes are very sparse here, though my waitress did mention they had a veggie risotto that wasn't on the menu and they may have others as well. They are mostly known for their seafood dishes. I enjoyed my filet with gorgonzola sauce too. The restaurant is al fresco with a covered roof. Some of the tables are in the sand, so you can feel like you're on the beach even though you're a few steps away from the sounds of the waves crashing in. All around, a great experience and not so in your face of a tourist trap like the beachfront restaurants.
