O Barco

Top choice in Búzios


This down-to-earth waterfront joint stakes its reputation on well-made, reasonably priced fish dishes – from fried fish with rice and salad to full-on seafood stews. Eight tables on a cute little terrace plus a few extra sidewalk seats offer excellent people-watching and ocean views. Solo diners will appreciate the menu's wealth of pratos individuais (individual dishes), a rarity in couples-oriented Búzios.
