Restaurants cuisine du monde Brazil

Chef Luciana has set the bar high in her establishment on Route de Cunha. In a setting that is at once simple, familial and romantic, the heart that Luciana puts into her cooking can be felt from the moment you enter the aptly named "Bistrô Alquimia dos Sabores". Everything is done to make your time in the restaurant as pleasant as possible. The filet mignon with strawberry jam, the shrimps flambéed with black rice, the tasty desserts, everything is tasty. Worth knowing.

With its cobblestones on its front, reminiscent of the orla of Rio de Janeiro, and its brick walls, the torre da pizza has a convivial and traditional side that is not contradicted by the presentation of its menu. This pizzeria is a good option for small budgets in the centre, as it has reasonable prices and the pizzas are prepared with love (but it takes time): fine dough, homemade tomato sauce, and the menu offers other dishes that are not too expensive. There are a few tables in the pleasant street for lunch or dinner outside.

The SENAC is a veritable institution in many places in Brazil, where chefs have gained international fame. Like the one in Salvador de Bahia, the SENAC in Sao Luis is housed in a place worthy of its reputation. In a beautiful colonial house, the restaurant of the hotel school: a zealous welcome, a long buffet of specialities of the region, includingarroz de cuxae, the local dish made of rice, sesame and small shrimps. Afterwards, we'll have a drink on the first floor while listening to a good pianist.

One of the city's most interesting addresses is housed in an old colonial defense building with a majestic entrance. This is the Senac Hotel School, and service is provided by the students of this school, which is very important in Brazil, as it trains many cooks throughout the country. So you can enjoy succulent regional dishes. The large buffet is certainly the best option for tasting Bahian specialities, as it is made up of around 40 typical dishes and you can eat as much as you like. Live entertainment on certain evenings.

Another island restaurant honored by New York Times food critics. One of the best tables in town for its Italian specialties, in a family, bucolic and intimate setting (only 7 tables) with a beautiful view of the lagoon. The chef Rodolfo Luiz Gualtiere particularly honours the regions of Calabria and Veneto with his gastronomic references. Fresh pasta, salads, risottos, fish and meat finely prepared Mediterranean style, excellent desserts such as homemade tiramisu.

The Manoel e Juaquim restaurants are now part of the Copacabana landscape. In this botequim that faces the orla , regulars and tourists mingle. Portuguese tradition obliges, one will try the cod croquettes, the fried manioc with cheese or one will sustenance of the copious house picanha , washed down with an amber chopp of Brahma. The dishes are generous, in the image of the spirit of the house which treats each guest with respect and sympathy. The service is professional and familial, which is not always the case in high season in Copacabana.

When you come to Brazil, the lure of the churrascaria will surely be felt! In these large restaurants for carnivores, all (or almost all) cuts of meat turn on the spit to the delight of meat lovers. On top of this, a diverse buffet of side dishes, including the classic rice and red beans, as well as other more elaborate dishes (gratins, dishes in sauce, fries, salads) will finish off your meal. Depending on how hungry you are, opt for the rodizio (all-you-can-eat), or choose what you want on your plate and weigh it at the checkout.

A portinha" restaurants are now present in all three tourist towns in southern Bahia, Porto Seguro, Arraia d'ajuda and Trancoso. The Abrasel guide named this group and its Arraial d'ajuda restaurant Brazil's "best kilo" in 2018. The restaurant boasts traditional Bahian home cooking. There are over 150 options on offer from Tuesday to Sunday, including excellent desserts. A varied buffet by the kilo and à la carte dishes in the evening. The large wood-fired stove maintains a traditional feel. Live music some evenings.

Sophisticated setting, white tablecloths and jazzy musical background, this restaurant is definitely one of the best in Paraty, the atmosphere is very romantic and sophisticated. The restaurant is specialized in typical regional caiçara cuisine. And it is undeniably worth the trip! We will appreciate the octopus or the fish marinated with mango, its purple onions and its coconut sauce. The meat is not in rest. For dessert, the cooked banana with its scoop of ice cream of doce de leite and crushed peanuts is a must. The plate is delicious and the note is salty.

The Lua Cheia restaurant is another establishment that offers a good and inexpensive buffet lunch. Vegetarians are welcome here, which is not always the case in this land of farmers and milk producers that gave rise to so much "milk" in the "café au lait republic". There is a lot of greenery and fruit, but the establishment is also known for its churrasco. You can't leave without tasting the famous cheese and goiabada sorbet. An address to remember for big appetites.

A "guesthouse" in the middle of Santa Teresa. The chef Ana Castilho welcomes you in her house and garden. Perched on top of a hill, the restaurant offers a romantic setting with a splendid view of the wonderful city. The proposed cuisine is a Brazilian cuisine revisited: grilled palm heart, grilled fish with orange sauce (and its rice with coconut milk), grilled lamb and its couscous... The Aprazivel is certainly one of the good addresses of Santa Teresa, pleasant, chic...and expensive. Reservation recommended for the weekend.

All honour to all! Sabor da Vila was one of the first restaurants to open in Praia do Forte. Chef Alex Souza offers local cuisine with the famous moqueca. The taste is certainly on the plate, but the aesthetics of the dishes are also a pure pleasure. Coconuts and pineapples serve as plates, and seafood is given pride of place in dishes that are both simple and beautifully crafted, all hallmarks of this piano master. The tables of regulars and the delighted looks on the faces of those who are just discovering the restaurant are unmistakable!

Another address not to be missed in Lençois. The "conzinha aberta" offers a good and varied cuisine with inventive recipes of Italian and Thai dishes. The chef is a culinary author-creator who never stops innovating, as with his "spaghetti of shrimps and cocoa". The dishes are prepared in front of the customers. But the term slow does not apply to the pace of the restaurant, which works according to the localvore philosophy, valuing local ingredients. A policy of sustainability is guaranteed in the operation of the establishment.

With its wooden front and interior, Aglio e olio is not an intimate and sophisticated restaurant. Once inside, the tone is set. The smells speak for themselves. It's an Italian restaurant that doesn't look like much, located in the center of Penedo, but it serves some of the best pasta we've ever tasted in Brazil! The penne al'arrabiata or a la napolitana are a real success! A small wine list that is also nice and cheap. An address not to be missed!

The story of Entre Amigos began in the 1990s when the two partners bought a kiosk on the beach in Boa Viagem and started serving kebabs. Today, they own two restaurants that serve tasty, regional food and are popular with the locals. The bar is also very lively. The friendly place and hearty dishes make it a good option in town. The dishes are prepared with originality, the flavors are subtle and delicate Finally, the view from the terrace is charming.

A small restaurant that seems lost at the end of a cul-de-sac, the Dom Mario restaurant offers quality cuisine. All day, from noon to night, Dom Mario serves signature dishes. Fish with maracuja sauce, filet mignon (of beef) with gorgonzola or pepper sauce, barbecued fish and shrimp... are the most popular dishes. The other feature is the generosity of the dishes. The portions are almost worthy of Pantagruel! It's a bit pricey, but well worth it.

For many years Sabor da Terra has been offering its cuisine to locals and tourists who do not want to spend too much without sacrificing the quality of the contents of the plate. In this restaurant by the kilo at the entrance to the old town, you will find a buffet that may lack variety, but is certainly of high quality at a very affordable price compared to those in the centre. Good minute grilled meats, ready meals, vegetables, pasta, rice... a good Brazilian cuisine without pretension. More and more guests are going there!

Founded in 1958, Curitiba's central market is certainly the most pleasant place to shop like a true curitibense. The "belly of Curitiba" is certainly not very big, but there is a good coffee shop (with several national varieties to taste or take away), stalls and a few restaurants on site. You can buy wine, cheese, "ethnic" products and medicinal herbs. On the first floor is the organic products area, with a restaurant. It is the meeting place for people from all walks of life in the city.

The Trattoria restaurant is perhaps one of the best value for money establishments in the city. In a slightly retro atmosphere (checkered tablecloths), with brick walls a few steps from the Copacabana Palace, a Turinese chef and her family have been cooking since 1976. You'd expect to see mafia-style chefs at the table. Pasta, of course, has pride of place and is available in both land and sea versions. The Neapolitan shrimps are a real delight. A good canteen, with your eyes closed, for sure.

Naia the Bahianese fell in love with this place and wanted to merge her passions here, the Bahianese cuisine and the village of Barra Grande. She was right to do so. At the beginning, the establishment was a simple and rustic bar and restaurant, but over the years, La Tapera has become the most refined restaurant in Barra Grande. The dishes are prepared with all of Naia's "Bahian cooking science" and her love for local seafood ingredients. It has that little extra soul. Quite good value for money.

A great classic of French gastronomy in Salvador. "Monsieur Bernard" Goethals set foot in Bahia in 1963 and since then, this very good restaurant has delighted gourmets. Today, another French chef, Laurent Rezette, is at the piano and offers the classics of French cuisine to Soteropolitans. Lamb with port is one of the chef's specialties, and he also prepares dishes mixing French cuisine with local ingredients. The quality remains impeccable and the restaurant is a reference in Salvador.

Marius Degustare is a restaurant not to be missed in this wonderful city. It's a far cry from the sleek design of the Lasai and its almost surgical cuisine. Here, in a decor that gives the impression of entering a pirate's lair, the restaurant offers a gargantuan buffet featuring noble products, especially seafood such as lobster, oysters, crab? The service is top-of-the-range and rich in colour. It's quite simple, the Marius is unanimously acclaimed. Of course the note is salty too...

The Cuco Bistrô restaurant has been a real success for 10 years and is always full. Just a stone's throw from the São Francisco church, Cuco Bistrô serves fine regional cuisine. The menu features grilled quail with rice, farofa of bananas and aipim purée, or a delicious fillet of beef with red wine sauce. Try the delicious coffee caipirinha. The restaurant's Nordeste-themed decor blends with a cheerful atmosphere. The welcome is warm. An excellent address in Salvador.

The most famous of the city's churrascarias is also the most touristy. We come to see a kitsch but very Brazilian show: groups of Latin American singers and dancers follow one another during the dinner-show. The service is well run. The plate delights the palate: you can choose between 12 meats, 8 typical hot dishes, salads, 10 desserts, ice-cream... grilled picanha with peppers, onions ideally spiced. The foams are excellent. On the other hand, in this room of 3,000 people, all groups travelling to Iguaçu disembark.

Located 100 m from Tiradentes Square, the restaurant operates in the old slave quarters (the senzala, usually located below the master quarters) of an old house from 1772. On the walls hangs a lot of old objects. The restaurant offers a gargantuan buffet for lunch and a very good choice of regional dishes a la carte (feijao tropeiro, chicken ora pro nobis, tutu mineiro). A good address.

For almost 40 years, the Casa do Ouvidor has been located on the "rua direita". In the heart of Ouro Preto, on the first floor of a beautiful building on Direita Street that the owners have completely rebuilt, the elegant house offers a menu with typical dishes (tutu and feijao tropeiro, for two) and other pleasures that are as tasty as they are substantial (filet à la mode de la maison, chicken risotto...) The interior is very cosy. One of the best tables in town! The service is as good as the place.

Aipo and Aipim is a chain of restaurants by the kilo with a wide variety of dishes, salads, meats, dishes cooked in sauce, very Brazilian dishes, aipo means celery and aipim, also called mandioca, is a kind of tuber of the potato family, very common in South America. In short, they are a bit like Brazilian fries. It is the opportunity to taste a Brazilian cuisine by the kilo, of quality... at prices of the southern zone. Two other addresses on Nossa Senhora avenue, at n° 391 and 920.

The Cipriani is the main restaurant of the Belmond Copacabana Palace. The service is of impeccable class and taste. It overlooks the patio and the pool, in a setting with a taste of paradise. The cuisine is tinged with a northern Italian influence: Chef Carli used to run the kitchens at the Cipriani Hotel in Venice. Try the thinly sliced lamb with goat cheese ravioli and Dijon mustard tarts! You can reserve the chef's table in the heart of the kitchen (990 reais), a must... expensive!

Well, actually, not one, but several restaurants offer their services at the foot of the lighthouse in the eponymous Barra district. It's not necessarily sophisticated cuisine, but you can eat and drink in a pleasant seaside setting, cooler on hot Bahian summer days. Bahian specialties, croque-monsieur, salads, beef or chicken strogonoff or more simply fruit juice, cold beer or caipirinha, you can drop in for lunch or dinner. The place is an interesting alternative to the pelourinho.

A good address found thanks to our friend Nicolas. In the increasingly popular Botafogo district, Lima is a fusion of Peruvian and world cuisine. Of course, you'll find the traditional ceviches here, but also many seafood dishes (octopus and shrimps with yellow garlic...). Some may regret the old location, more "authentic" and family-friendly, while the new restaurant is flashier, noisier and more "in". The menu, however, remains up to scratch.

A restaurant by the kilo to get to know. The many dishes on offer are of good quality... and there's something for everyone. The "fingers food" is rather classic (cod croquettes, small hamburgers, curry sausages, cheese croquettes), but always tasty. The choice of salads and main courses is admittedly limited, as are the desserts, but they don't disappoint - quite the contrary. Dishes and drinks can be ordered. A good address.

In the heart of the Pelourinho, the Boteco do Pelourinho offers the classic dishes of the many other Pelourinho restaurants, but eating and/or savoring a caipirinha or a fruit juice while admiring the Sao Francisco church, Salvador's architectural jewel, inevitably adds another dimension to these pleasurable menus. Under the yellow umbrellas, you can try acarajés, moqueca and carne do sol nordestine. There are a few pleasant tables inside if you want to escape the hustle and bustle. Simple and very local. Worth knowing.

Sabor da Serra is an appellation clearly suited to the establishment's services, as the dishes are bursting with flavor and finesse. Nordestin risotto, zucchini fritters with gorgonzola and sweet-and-sour passion fruit sauce are just a few examples from an endless list of dishes to try. Vegetarians and vegans are not forgotten, with these surprisingly tasty cocoa and vegan meat fettuccini, for example. The dishes are generously served and the welcome is extremely friendly and professional!

Mizu is a Mexican-Japanese restaurant, so it had to be daring! And yet, the gamble paid off. The formula works perfectly. You can eat as much as you like, starting with Mexican cuisine (nachos, burritos, tostadas, ceviche, etc.) and ending with Japanese fish (sushi, sashimi, etc.). Some dishes are served in seats imitating boats. Well, the setting is a bit faded nonetheless, but it's definitely worth the detour if you're a fan of either cuisine.

One of the annexes of this famous restaurant, which offers buffets for a fixed price. The dishes are excellent. Prices are not quite soft.

This small restaurant with terrace is a little more expensive than the rest of the neighborhood. The products are selected and excellent, the atmosphere is refined, even chic, and it is not because we are on holiday that we will boycott the sophisticated places.

One of the fashionable restaurants, trendy New York bistro, even though the kitchen remains typically Brazilian. Meat is valued, including a succulent mignon net, or seafood: excellent shrimp bisque. On dessert, we cracked for the fennel conflict. To discover.

Here of course, as its name suggests, we enter a place dedicated to Italian gastronomy. Open since 1999, this Italian establishment enjoys an excellent reputation. We go there to taste a fabulous roast duck and an excellent lamb chop. The grilled wild boar will also convert all those who are hostile to game. On the sea side, the Grigliata Mista Di Mare for two people is a pure pleasure (395 reals all the same). Impressive wine list. Top-of-the-range service. A gastronomic evening in Leme is guaranteed!

You have to imagine Lapa in its normal functioning to understand the "dimension" of the Brasil bar. This bar is a part of the tradition of the old Lapa district which transpires its popular origins... We are far from the rhinestones and glitter of the chic bars of Rio. Noisy, messy, outdated decoration... but we love it! The walls reflect so many counter stories that you have to stick to them. Good German food goes well with a cold beer (or vice versa). You can find its program on www.lanalapa.com.br

In 1989, a Swiss doctor had the idea to open a "bistro" with a French spirit in the heart of this very pleasant place full of history. Good for her. 3 decades later, the bistro is an institution, with simple and quality cuisine. It is a restaurant that serves huge salads and very good quiches. At lunchtime, on weekdays, it is frequented by the young dynamic executives of Rio's business district - as well as by the staff of the French consulate, whose offices are next door to the Bistro.

Punto di vino has established itself as a leading name in Italian cuisine. Very good Italian cuisine with Brazilian flavours. Pippo, the Italian owner, always manages to find you a small seat (prefer the garden, which is cooler), even when the restaurant seems full (which happens very often). Try the carpaccio triplo con rucola, a delight of local produce. Excellent pizzas, a little expensive but prepared with good ingredients, Italian style (priceless). In the evenings, there are regular ao vivo concerts, especially at weekends, to set the mood.

Not everyone knows it, but Arab culture and Arab cuisine have been very present in Brazil for almost a century, when the first members of the Syrian-Lebanese community arrived in Brazil. The Amir is certainly one of the best Arab restaurants in the city... and it is true that they are not so numerous in Rio. The menu during the week is of Lebanese inspiration (hummus, falafels, esfiha - salted cake - around a very good all-you-can-eat buffet) and the speciality of the weekend is an excellent Moroccan couscous.

The scent of rosemary guides and attracts visitors. Beyond the gate and into the superb garden, you discover a large, rustic-style house with a hushed, elegant ambience. The uncluttered menu features Italian-influenced local specialties cooked with talent by chef Julio Buschinelli. The house osso buco is now a local staple, as is the duck confit with mustard. The kitchen garden supplies the restaurant's vegetables. An experience to be discovered and increasingly recognized by gourmets.

Since it opened in 1994, Gosto has rightly earned a reputation as one of the region's finest Mineiro restaurants. It has to be said that the harsh mountain climate blends perfectly with a hearty cuisine of rich, delicate flavors. Grilled sausages, black bean purée(tutu mineiro) and desserts galore will delight diners... Chef Monica Rangel's talent is recognized by top chefs such as Alex Atala and Roberta Sudbrack. There's also an impressive menu of cachaças, with over 350 different labels.

We leave the Finnish style of Penedo for a moment. In a restaurant with a European-style roof, Fritz, a Swiss who moved here a few years ago, prepares excellent German-style cuisine. The beer is served ice cold and you can eat on the terrace. What more could you want? Anyway, it's always full, which is the best proof of quality. Of course, Fritz's cuisine is not exactly nouvelle cuisine... You would have guessed it.

The Secret Garden is aptly named. It is one of those establishments that you want to keep secret. The chef Fabiano de Almeida officiates in the kitchen of a refined and elegant restaurant, considered one of the best in Penedo. You can try the grilled pirarucu, even if it is not a local fish. It is often recommended. The trout (local) is given pride of place. The menu is contemporary and the wine list is quite extensive. In the evening, candlelight dinners are accompanied by the murmur of the river.

Specialities from the Amazon region. The amateurs will love the duck in tucupi and the Amazonian fruit sorbets from Belèm.

As its name suggests with a touch of humour (Consulate of Minas Gerais), the Consulado Mineiro is a restaurant specialising in mineira gastronomy. The restaurant offers an excellent feijão tropeiro, but you can also find the classic tutu à la mineira, the quibebe with dried meat, the traingle mineiro -obviously, not recommended for those who don't want to go off their diet or who are vegetarians! The prices have gone up a bit lately, but the food is as good as ever. The cachaça menu is impressive.

Chef Carla Pernambuco (whose family is not Brazilian but Italian, despite her surname) is raising the bar for Brazilian gastronomy, with New York and Italian influences, of course, since she trained in New York and her family is from the country shaped like a boot (near Tricarico). Try the sea bass with mashed banana terra or the bolinhos de carne de sol and manioc for starters. It offers a contemporary and refined cuisine. The menu changes regularly.
