The food was super tasty and varied. From meat/seafood to vegan green curry. Some of the waiters speak English, which is not always a given in Paraty. The music was not the best for my taste and the temperature was not as refreshing as other places. However, we truly enjoyed our last dinner in Paraty, people were super super cordial and service was fast.

Had the chicken pad thai and the green chicken curry and this is the best thai food in Brazil! We asked for it spicy and it was nice and spicy. I would highly recommend the food here. And the waiter spoke some English and was very friendly

Great place, staff was friendly and caring. food was pretty good. Drink (Jorge Amado) was amazing! My only constructive criticism I would say is To put a little bit of condensed milk in the coconut rice to give a little bit of sweetness! Bit price though

Fantastic food, fast service, lovely restaurant! A little more expensive than your average restaurant in Paraty but we were completely satisfied for the price we paid.

Not that authentic for us ardent Thai food lover and frequent visitors to Bangkok. But service was good so adding one more star for that. Overall if you lower your expectations you’ll be fine. The green curry with chicken and papaya salad with dried shrimp were close enough, while pad thai tasted like yakisoba - rice noodles stir fried with the usual yakisoba vegetables. It lacked the usual umami flavor bomb kick - would recommend adding a good dose of fish sauce and sugar. Being overall disappointed we decided not to order the mango sticky rice. At the very end, with nothing to lose, we experimented with adding the papaya salad shrimp liquid over the pad thai and that combination surprised us with the increase balance from the shrimp. For your consideration.
