Directly opposite the picturesque 17th-century white church on Cabo Frio's most historic square, this eatery in a colonial house serves sophisticated international fare. The inventive offerings range from grilled fish with rosemary and passion fruit, to risotto with shrimp and asparagus or lobster and saffron, to lamb goulash with couscous, to beef with mashed potatoes and Madeira sauce.
