RITZ
Read moreThe Ritz, which opened in 1981 on Alameda Franca, has a relaxed atmosphere and a retro feel. The decor is by artist Wesley Duke Lee, who also designed the restaurant's logo. It's nestled in a designer industrial warehouse setting with natural light, a garden, red sofas and marble tables. It features the best cheeseburgers in town, as well as asparagus and cured ham penne. Some may say that for sandwiches, it's a bit expensive, but the food is tasty and the setting is neat.
LA TRATTORIA
Read moreGood Tuscan canteen in a simple and discreet atmosphere.
TERRAÇO ITALIA
Read moreTerraço Italia has stood proudly on the 41st floor of the Edificio Italia, one of Sao Paulo's most emblematic buildings, for over 50 years. People come here for its Italian cuisine, entrusted to the expert hands of Tuscan chef Pasquale Mancini, and for the unique view over the city...some would say it's mostly for the view. Terraço is a complex of four rooms, including a bar. The fine wine list, with over 200 labels, is almost worth the trip to this magical place. Very chic. But relatively expensive.
SANTOS RESTAURANTE

In a typical and friendly setting, one comes here to taste very good pasta accompanied by a choice of about thirty sauces. Each dish can easily feed two people.

ALMANARA

Next to the restaurant there is a lanchonete area serving snacks and small dishes, for those on a tighter budget.
RESTAURANT PELÔ BISTRÔ
Read moreThis restaurant in the Casa do Amarelindo hotel is as good as the place that houses it. The menu offers a fusion cuisine subtly combining Bahian and European cuisine in two variants, a "restaurant" menu and a "gourmet" menu of 3 courses for 2 people. Fans of Bahian dishes will enjoy excellent moquecas but world cuisine is not left out. The black rice risotto is divine, as is the beef bourguignon. Those who are hesitant can try the moqueca risotto. For those who are a little hungry, there are good petiscos.
LA TAPERIA
Read moreFor once, we're forgetting Afro-Bahian culinary traditions for a closer look at the Mediterranean shores of the Costa Brava. La Taperia, as its name suggests, is a restaurant that honors tapas (including Basque pintxos). The art of service of our Iberian neighbors is not neglected. The long tapas menu certainly makes it difficult to choose, but in the end, you can get lost without risk, as we found everything worthy of interest. Of course, there are also traditional Spanish dishes and sangria. In short, a must in Salvador.
BONITO RESTO BAR
Read moreThis bar restaurant is definitely worth a visit. It is a gastronomic option with its feet in the water. The setting is enchanting and the team never ceases to bring the guests into osmosis with the environment of Ilha Grande. A large part of the menu is made up of seafood, fish and local products that are as fresh as they are tasty, and the chef's talent does the rest. You can also find simple dishes at lunchtime like chicken or veggie wraps. With a caipirinha with jaca, the day or evening takes on an extra dimension!
PAPOULA CULINARIA ARTESANAL
Read moreJust a 10-minute walk from the center, at the foot of the theater climb, Papoularia Culinaria Artesanal is a wonderful discovery. In a pleasantly rustic and comfortable setting, in addition to seafood, fish and grilled meats, you'll find good vegetarian and vegan dishes. Everything is fresh, healthy and truly artisanal, prepared on site. Not many tables...but that's exactly what makes it so charming. The quality of service and cuisine is beyond reproach. A must-try!
FOGO CAIPIRA
Read moreThe restaurant "Fogo Caipira" served its first dishes in 1995, and since then it has been a reference for those who want to taste the best dishes of panataneira cuisine. It has been awarded several times by the 4 Rodas guide as the best regional cuisine restaurant in Campo Grande. It is a good "starred" restaurant and therefore the bill is a bit high. There are many typical dishes of the region in a very pleasant setting that honors the Pantanal. On the menu: carne de sol, pintado, risottos and delicious fresh fish.
EMPORIO PIQUIRAS BOUGAINVILLE
Read moreThe Piquiras brand of restaurants and grocery stores now offers two addresses in the city, Bougainville and Flamboyant.

Read moreAn emblematic Paraty establishment, the Margarida Café is undoubtedly one of the finest restaurants in this small colonial town. For decades, we've been eating and drinking in a beautiful, large room with exposed stonework, wood, sofas, period furniture and a small winter garden... always with the same pleasure! Live music every evening. Brazilian and international dishes (moquecas, paellas, pizzas...), some original dishes (crispy shrimps, fish à la mode of the chef...), excellent wines. Touristy but pleasant. Slightly salty note.
RESTAURANTE MARITACA
Read moreMaritaca is one of the best restaurants in the small village of Trancoso. This rustic restaurant, with its white adobe walls and "straw hut" style, has become a classic for its varied, tasty dishes. Fish, shrimps, meats, but also salads, risottos, pizzas and a wide variety of desserts, including the magical goiabada soufflé, the house specialty.

Good home-made cachaças.
BAR DO CELSO
Read moreBar do Celso is an institution in Tiradentes. It serves as a bar, snack bar and restaurant. There are good sandwiches to nibble on, very good tutu mineiro and feijao tropeiro and excellent cachaças. For normal appetites, the dishes for one person can easily satisfy two. Of course, it's not necessarily very light, mineira cuisine being by essence caloric, but the smell of the old soapstone pans is not deceiving. Other establishments of the same style are to be discovered on this central square.
ATRÁS DA MATRIZ
Read more100 meters from the church "Matriz de Santo Antonio", this restaurant has been offering for 20 years an original cuisine that is somewhat free from the classicism of the mineiro. Everything is cooked in a wood-fired oven, hence the sweet smell in the air. With a superb view of the surrounding mountains, you can enjoy the grilled pizza or the Norwegian cod, the two specialities of the restaurant. Try the gorgonzola pizza with walnuts and parma ham. The place is quiet, relaxing, at the height of Tiradentes. A very good table!
O GARIMPEIRO

A gastronomic guide has long named it the best regional cuisine restaurant in the country. This is another excellent address for tasting mineira specialities, with a touch of originality from chef Beth Beltrão, as in the saffron chicken, the succulent suckling pig (to order), or her speciality: the famous Tutu mineiro. The angu fritters(pastéis) are simpler, but no less essential.
TRAGALUZ
Read moreThe Tragaluz is another starred restaurant in Tiradentes, in an enchanting and romantic setting. It has brought to the mineira cuisine its letters of nobility. The menu, presented as a text of cordel literature, offers dishes that will delight all palates. The basic elements of the regional cuisine are taken as a starting point and the chef revisits them with an international touch. Smoked surumbi with orange sauce, fillet with mushrooms, carrots and grilled bananas. It's certainly not cheap, but it's very interesting and sophisticated without being overdone.
DONA LUCINHA

The influence is Mediterranean and Provençal, and the touch is that of French chef Gérard Durand: fish with curry sauce and mango chutney, lamb with almonds, duck confit; whether you're "land" or "sea", there's something for everyone... Homesick French diners can enjoy frogs à la Bateau ivre. The chef has adopted the "open kitchen" concept to share his culinary art from the piano to the plate, passing on his passion in the process.

Recommended.
