Quiosque Dito e Feito

Paraty


Ask locals where to find reasonably priced fresh seafood and they'll send you to this simple beachfront kiosk on Praia do Pontal. From straightforward fried fish to moqueca to the caldeirada do mar (a seafood stew for three), dishes are huge, but half-portions are available upon request.
