Welcome to the vibrant world of PUPU'S PANC PARTY, a culinary gem located in the heart of Paraty, Brazil.

With its prime location on R. do Comercio in the Centro Historico, every visit here evokes excitement and anticipation.
Step into PUPU’S, and you are greeted not just by an inviting ambiance, but also by an enticing menu that prioritizes the freshest seafood. Their Entradas offerings are particularly noteworthy, from the smoky and sweet TEXTURAS DE PEIXES to the refreshing CEVICHE PUPU'S. I was particularly charmed by the TORRESMO DE PANCs, which expertly combines crispy textures with a refined tartar sauce, highlighting the restaurant's commitment to quality and creativity.
One cannot overlook the seafood delights such as the FRUTOS DO MAR CROCANTE, a harmonious blend of shrimp and calamari paired with sweet chili sauce—a dish that exemplifies the restaurant’s flair for combining harmonious flavors.

Whether you choose the zesty SimonnetFebvre Petit Chablis or the tropical notes of Montes Alpha Chardonnay, these wines enhance the overall experience, adding another layer of enjoyment to your meal.
Despite some reviews highlighting price concerns relative to portion sizes, it’s clear that the quality of food and the attention to detail make every dish a work of art. Customer experiences bolster this sentiment. The vibrant atmosphere, coupled with attentive service, creates a delightful dining environment. Guests have expressed that dining at PUPU'S feels like a cherished event, not just a meal—an ethos I wholeheartedly share.

Worth it the little wait to enjoy really nice food. Japanese roots but with some twists…amazing presentation and attentive service. Interesting in Paraty is that all buildings look alike from outside (architecture is protected) but each restaurant has its own surprise inside

Very tasty seafood pasta and Asian fried rice but OVERPRICED. (Plus 13% service charge added to the bill! Also be careful, my waiter charged me in my home country's currency GBP rather than Brazilian Reals without asking me which added a 12% mark up on bill + service charge! Combined is 28% increase!!) This is still a 5 star rating because the manager, who spoke very good English, helped fix the issue very efficiently. R$189 for seafood pasta which wasn't filling enough, so you would add an appetizer. More like $$$ than $$. Cheapest options were available but cheapest main was R$135 for fried fish, which is their specialty. There are quite a few vegan and vegetarian options even for a seafood resturant.

It is the best fish restaurant I have ever gone to in my entire life. If you are in Paraty, you must stop by this restaurant to get a try of this fresh fish. The area in general is very well known for fresh fish but what makes this restaurant so special is how they prepare it, it is art on a plate and you can literally taste the sea. I think the pictures speak for themselves also on how creative they are with their options. It is probably one of the nicest restaurants in Paraty. you also have private dining rooms, you can sit inside or outside. Also, staff was extremely funny and witty, which made the whole dining experience even better.

With strong recommendations from locals in Paraty, I stopped in for lunch before heading home. For about R$80, you had a choice of starter, fish or vegetarian poke bowl and dessert. I had the cucumber salad, fish poke and the dessert was a tapioca with a fruit / nut / crunchy topping. Not only was it a feast for the eyes, but it was so fresh and perfectly balanced. I gobbled up every single bite. I wish I had more time in Paraty just to have another meal here.

Food here was so good the smokey Ceviche really brought out some unique flavours of each ingredient, then moving on to the white wine sea food pasta and pork belly rice both were great in flavour and texture. I would definitely recommend it if you like unique fresh seafood.

Beautifully curated set lunch menu, around R90 at the time of this writing. The lunch menu has limited options, one vegetarian and one fish. The meal was delicious, beautifully presented, and to me, lunch is an exceptional value.
