Margarida Café - Paraty

I wasn’t sure about this place as they have a lot of pizzas and many non pizza dishes are cooked in their wood oven and I was nervous of the cross contamination from pizza being cooked in there. It was super busy and had live music so I took a chance. We had about a 30 minute wait, you can order drinks while waiting. I was surprised how good the food was. There were a few options (salad, ribs and grouper fish) that were already fully gf /dairy free however I decided on the salmon and shrimp dish. The server was super knowledgeable, made a few changes to make it gf df and recommended cooking it in a separate pan instead of the oven. I was completely taken back how good it was. It feel great the next day so no cross contamination. My husband (not gf) had the ribs which was MASSIVE and looked amazing. The restaurant is also very nice, great aesthetic. I understand why it’s so busy. Highly recommend.
