We’ve had an amazing Dinner, it was delicious and romantic with live guitar music. And I think the pictures can tell you more. Oh and the service was high class, very very friendly and helpful.

Easily one of the best meals we’ve had in Paraty. Lovely atmosphere with Brazilian live acoustic music. Beautiful handmade ceramic plates. (yes, I think it’s important to point out!) All the food was spot on. We ordered the octopus, which was tender and tasty. Meat-wise we had picanha and bife ancho - both were an explosion of flavour. Juicy, with the right amount of fat on a sizzling hot plate. Handmade fries were also a great touch. Parmesan risotto was rich and velvety. Service was attentive and friendly. I would definitely return.

We really liked the live bossa nova music enjoying our Jorge Amado coctails tasting like Christmas in a glass made with a Brasilen Cachaça version called Gabriela. We ordered grilled fish and octapus salad which in overall were good . The dessert was really good made with banana split , ice cream and cachaça .
