Restaurants cuisine du monde Brazil

Japeto is a recently established bar-restaurant, a little outside the traditional area surrounding Praça São Sebastião. On weekends, this blue-fronted establishment, with its friendly atmosphere, comes alive to the sound of DJs and well-crafted bands. Amazonian dishes are on offer, of course, but also Brazilian fare such as feijoada on weekends, at very affordable prices. Beer is served ice cold, as is traditional in Brazil, and Japeto is no exception.

Often, the observant visitor, whether Brazilian or French, is quick to point out the lack of visibility of indigenous culture in Brazilian and Amazonian metropolises in particular, or its "folklorization". The Biatuwi restaurant is the exception that proves the rule. It's a true gastronomic experience based on the culture of the Sateré-mawé and Tukano ethnic groups. Tasting insects, of course, but also excellent indigenous-style sambaqui. A very simple and welcoming place, reflecting the culture of the local tribes.

Quarar restô & café is a small, unpretentious restaurant serving quality dishes. Cream of vegetable soup, quiche, salad, palmito sandwiches... Small dishes typical of the region (carne do sol, shrimps with aïpim purée...). Here again, vegetarians and vegans are not forgotten (aïpim purée with mushrooms and salad). The desserts are tempting: sorbet or dulce de leche and walnut tarts). In short, this is the place to be if you're feeling peckish or peckish in the afternoon!

In a slightly busy and very welcoming 14-table setting, reminiscent of Marius Degustare in Rio, the Prudente 242 restaurant is as good as it is aesthetically pleasing. It's true that you feel like you're walking into an antique store. Here, it's the rich mineira cuisine that takes pride of place. Tutu mineiro, pork chop with goiaba sauce, homemade rice with garlic... Great classics revisited with brio. If you finish your meal with the sweet trio, you'll feel like you're in paradise, especially if you've enjoyed the various cocktails in moderation. Worth knowing.

You can't come to Salvador de Bahia without tasting the traditional acarajés, derived from African culinary traditions. Of course, not everyone likes this red bean fritter fried in palm oil or dendê. If you're curious, don't miss the Dinha stand on largo do Santana. You can usually spot the long queue in front of this stall, where ladies dressed in the traditional white Bahian costume are bustling about, derived from the traditional garb of the lands of the Gulf of Guinea from which their ancestors were uprooted.

Certainly one of Belo Horizonte's many gastronomic temples. In this large, friendly establishment, you can "compose" your dish by choosing certain "options". The menu also includes grilled meats and filet mignon. Risotto is the house specialty. The "policy" at the heart of the project is to seek out quality food and balanced dishes. A place to know, for sure! Delivery service is also available.

Le Glouton is a culinary address that enriches the offer of Belo Horizonte. The young chef Leonardo Paixão, aptly named, studied in French cooking schools and then trained in the kitchen of Taste-Vin, with chef Rodrigo Fonseca, another enthusiast of the "French touch" in cooking. The cuisine is of great finesse and originality. You can see the cooks practicing their art in the kitchen. Beyond the quality, the quality-price ratio is to be underlined. You can't go there without a reservation and a deposit is required.

It feels like another mineiro "rancho", the one in Mariana, a city dear to our guide Kenio Maximiliano Azevedo. The Rancho is a typical mineiro restaurant. At noon, the buffet offers a wide variety of regional dishes, cooked on wood fire, of good quality. The whole is simple, rustic and friendly. In short, a vario mineiro. When one stops in Serro, in general, stage of any journey to the hidden beauty that is Diamantina, the Rancho makes it possible to appreciate a very good local kitchen while impregnating oneself of the places.

On the mezzanine of this beautiful and large warehouse (which refuses to be a supermarket) dedicated to delicatessen products, selected meats, dairy products and fresh fruit and vegetables, there is a restaurant offering healthy and tasty cuisine. The buffet formula with various salads and seeds is very practical and good value for money. Meat lovers can include a grill in their formula. Some dishes are also available à la carte. On Sunday mornings, you can indulge in the whole-wheat pancakes with bananas.

This yellow-walled restaurant is an institution in Bonito, as it is known for its tasty and simple cuisine. We come to Juanita, the eponymous hostess, for her house specialty: pacu (local fish) grilled or a la plancha(chapa), but also for her tasty caiman. The caiman is raised in fazendas dedicated to the breeding of this crocodilian. The different species are protected in their natural environment and any predation is severely punished. The places and the welcome are always very pleasant.

Good Japanese cuisine is offered in this small restaurant. Lovers of Japanese cuisine will have the opportunity to eat by the kilo here. There is a great variety of yakisoba, teppanyaki, temaki, also proposed in the original form of rodizio, where the waiters pass by constantly presenting dishes. Gourmets of Japanese cuisine will find here interesting products for a good quality/price ratio. It is also possible to get delivery in the entire southern area (up to 73 pieces for combination dishes!).

The Pérgula is one of the three restaurants located in the wonderful Belmond Copacabana Palace. The majesty of the place and the quality of the food will perhaps justify that you break your piggy bank to be able to enjoy a breakfast or a lunch buffet in this mythical place. If there is an undeniable Italian touch, the cuisine can be described as international. From the "copperto", the tone is set: chestnut bread, cassava chips, artichoke pickle... Meat, fish, vegetarian dishes. Everything is delicate. At the weekend, it's feijoada and brunch!

Originally from São Paulo, the other pizza capital of the world, Pizzaria Bráz is one of the best in Rio. In this traditional setting in the Jardim Botânico district, the great Italian classics are the basis of the menu, but many variations are offered, from the classic award-winning caprese to the basic Neapolitan... or theimigrante. The wine list allows to highlight the flavours of the place. For dessert, the traditional panettone and tiramisus will satisfy the specialists.

This restaurant occupies a beautiful colonial house from the 19th century. Villeiros is both a good "kilo" and a restaurant where a varied and well-prepared mineira food graces the guests' table. The atmosphere of the place is very pleasant. The decoration of the rooms, but also of the plates is pleasant and refined. The food is noble and prepared with care. The shrimp pasta is as good as well presented. The cakes are renowned in the region. Something to satiate yourself while waiting for the Maria Fumaça.

Bar do Alexandre is a beach bar-restaurant with its feet in the water. It's a beautiful, tranquil spot, facing a crystal-clear, azure sea. You can wait in peace for the "por do sol". In the afternoon, the sounds of local bands lull the guests to sleep. The moquecas are as good as in Salvador de Bahia. Petiscos and beer, frozen as they should be, have a special flavor here. Sitting back in comfortable chairs or deckchairs, you're never in a hurry to leave. The staff are very attentive.

The Praça Popular has become a reference point for Cuiabà's nightlife and for the quality and diversity of its restaurants. Haru has established itself as one of the best Japanese restaurants in a city with a large Japanese community. The long waiting line on weekends attests to the quality of the products and the creativity of the chefs who work there. Here too, beyond the sushi, there is a subtle mix of Japanese dishes and regional cuisine. The Japanese ceviches are excellent. Worth knowing.

This blue house of industrial architecture, a veritable oasis tucked away on a little street in Secretário, has established itself as one of Petrópolis' finest restaurants. Here, in addition to the quality of the produce, it's above all the fixed-price formula (starter, main course, dessert) and salads that attracts gourmets from all over Brazil. The kitchen is generously supplied by the in-house vegetable garden. Tomato velouté with cashew nuts and mint, mushroom vatapà, coconut rice and low-cooked pork... A relatively reasonable price for the quality on offer.

Bistrô das Meninas is a French-inspired restaurant. It's an original adventure, part restaurant, part café in a library. Originally, the owners ran a pastry shop. Today, artisan bread "à la française" still features prominently in sandwiches and other compositions, but the offer has expanded. You can try local trout with mushroom sauce, sandwiches (Thai-style chicken with Moroccan couscous, meat risotto with manioc...). One of those places that delights both taste buds and soul.

In her restaurant-gallery, the Farinatta Bistrô & arte, chef Eloisa Ramos offers an inventive and creative menu. She takes pleasure in coming to explain the menu directly to her guests. Behind the names of mysterious dishes - gnocchi à la présidente, agneau profane, osso buco fin du monde -, we discover a delicious and surprising plate, and, at this level of gastronomy, a beautiful aesthetic sophistication. The wine list will allow you to best appreciate these corpus delicti de la gourmandise. The best gnocchis of the region for sure.

The Galeria is a great discovery of PF on Buzios since... 2014. This restaurant, located in the beautiful Insólito Boutique Hotel, offers varied cuisine in a French-Brazilian fusion style. The chef Marcelo works with as much happiness fish, seafood and meats. Here, the appetizer will be the breathtaking view of the Ferradura beach. The team of waiters around chef Rodrigo is very professional. A hanging garden on the sea... To discover absolutely if you can afford it, because at Buzios as elsewhere quality has a price.

Casa da Nati is a good option in Praia do Forte. One of the best proofs of this is that since our first visits in the first decade of the 2000s, there are still just as many diners who come in search of simple, quality food. You can find good quality local food. You can eat by the kilo or à la carte. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you're served with a smile. Soft music lulls diners to sleep. A very good vegan moqueca will delight those looking for appetizing non-meat dishes.

Opened in 2017, this restaurant-bar has quickly established itself as an essential part of Foz's gastronomy. In a sober and elegant setting of brick and wood, people often come here to taste the meat. The picanha and T-Bone are in the spotlight and meat lovers are in favour of the Bendito, but vegetarians and fish lovers (try the bacalhau) will find their happiness here. The Saturday feijoada, buffets, accompanied by cocktails with or without alcohol, Argentinean or Italian beers or wines complete a varied offer of quality.

The Divina Gula, over the years, thanks to the work has become a reference as well as an institution in Maceió. This restaurant offers regional specialties from Minas Gerais and Nordestas. In a very rich menu, we recommend the picanha (noble piece of beef) with macaxeira (fried manioc), the carne do sol with tutu mineriro or the grilled beef with broccoli. Of course, seafood is not forgotten, like the curry-pineapple shrimp. In the evening, the restaurant also offers a bar atmosphere on its large, lively terrace.

Located between the airport and the beach, Miguel's is an Aracaju classic that has been welcoming guests since 1980. The 4 Rodas guide has awarded it several times for the quality of its cuisine. It offers good local cuisine, the menu varies between meat and fish dishes. Try the chef's suggestion: carne de sol, a traditional regional dish made with sun-dried beef filet. More classically, you can try surubim, a typical fish from the São Francisco River, or a picanha in the Argentine style.

In a small fort, clinging to the hill, the Forte da Rocheira restaurant seems to protect the city from a possible enemy coming by the river. In this rather picturesque setting, the Forte da Rocheira offers a good and varied cuisine, but one also comes there and especially for the very nice view on the river. You can then go to the belvedere just opposite, the "mirante da rocheira". The view from there embraces the old town of Penedo and the Sao Francisco river. Fish and seafood are the main dishes. Good salads are also offered.

Good Italian restaurant, card without surprises.

Some specialties, such as empadas, are part of the country's culinary heritage. The empadas (Brazilian specialty) of the Cabana da Empada are famous. They are tasty and inventive. If you have never tasted an empada, then you will not regret this little break on the road. These small cakes, which are basically salty, are a delight. Crab, shrimps, cheese, carne seca are on the menu. On the sweet side (much less usual): doce de leite, cupuaçu, chocolate, guava... The place also has a restaurant side (Bahian dishes).

Founded in 1910, this café-restaurant has kept its Belle Epoque style. Rich fazendeiros and intellectuals of Ilhéus used to gather at its patina tables. Jorge Amado made it the haunt of Gabriela and Nacib, the characters of his novel Gabriela. Its shaded terrace, open to the square (and facing the cathedral), makes it a strategic place to enjoy a beer during a walking tour of the city. Simple and plentiful food at all hours. Impossible to leave without taking a picture of yourself sitting on the terrace with the statue of Jorge Amado!

Naturalmente is another unpretentious address, with a slightly kitschy decor, far from the glitter of trendy establishments, but which reminds us that the essential is in the plate and in the sincerity and friendliness of the welcome. This establishment offers a wide choice of dishes (international cuisine) including very good pancakes and tasty acai bowls, to be enjoyed with your feet in the sand. You can choose dishes oriented "sea" (like the shrimps with curry and coconut milk, or the fish in its maracuja and orange sauce), or land.

As you may have guessed, Leonardo da Vinci is entirely dedicated to transalpine cuisine. For many people, guests and food critics alike, it is "the" Italian restaurant in Jeri. The decor matches the menu. We have left the simple happiness of rusticity for a more cozy dimension. A part of the transalpine finesse blends here with the Brazilian generosity. Pasta and meats are in the spotlight on the main street of the village. The pizzas are among the best in Jeri. Service on the terrace. A sure value.

Bar da Perua is a bar and restaurant that offers quality regional cuisine. One of the specialities is goat meat, which is very present in the Nordeste, as goat breeding adapts very well to the biogeography of the Nordeste, and carne do sol, another traditional dish. Pirao, beans and chicken gizzards are other "arguments" on the menu that have made the reputation of this simple, friendly and typically regional establishment. A real culinary dive in the Nordeste. The dishes are good value for money.

The Leite is certainly the oldest restaurant in operation in Recife, it was founded in 1882. The great names of business, politics and culture have frequented this establishment. The place is refined, the guests are received under the pleasant music of a grand piano. The show continues in the plate. They serve a good varied cuisine of meat and fish. We will try the lobster with champagne (89 R$). The most popular dessert is the grilled banana covered with cheese, sugar and cinnamon, the cartola.

On the beach of Pirangi do Norte, the paçoca de pilao is a good restaurant of regional cuisine, which is worth the trip. The dishes are prepared with care and the menu is diverse. Try the dish that gave the restaurant its name: pacoça, a delicious mixture of carne-do-sol and cassava flour accompanied by green beans, cassava, banana and rice. For those who don't like the traditional carne do sol, you can try the very good shrimps in the Paçoca de pilao, the vatapà, traditional Bahian dish. A good address.

Sorriso da Dada is a Salvador tradition. Now it's Dada's daughters who take charge of the restaurant in Pelourinho. The famous chef, a true legend in Salvador (she's on TV and billboards, a bit like choumicha in Morocco, for those in the know), runs her other restaurant, located in her former home (Sabores da Dada). Both are great places to discover Bahian cuisine. The food is deservedly renowned and the atmosphere assured, but get your wallets ready.

La Cabana do Sol is a large, pleasant straw hut located near the São Marcos lighthouse. The price of success is that this seaside restaurant is always full, and you'll often have to wait to get a seat (we opt for the Rua João Damasceno restaurant for faster service). Whether you opt for meat or fish dishes, the menu offers several options of typical, tasty dishes. Excellent service. We're greeted with small pasteis in chilli sauce, offered by way of welcome.

Live music on Thursday evening. MPB (Brazilian Popular Music), wander and jazz.

The Maza restaurant is interesting in more ways than one. It has an intimate atmosphere, in a megalopolis where you can sometimes feel lost. A cherry tree takes pride of place in the middle of the lounge. Young chef Seiji Enokizono is a Brazilian of Japanese origin who grew up on a farm in the interior of the state. He offers an interesting take on Japanese cuisine. Products are carefully selected on his farm and processed in the restaurant or picked from local stalls. Try the yellowfin tuna tartare or roast beef sandwiches.

In the bohemian district of Rio Vermelho, the Casa de Tereza restaurant has been an institution for many years. Chef Tereza Paim has successfully met the challenge of offering an innovative cuisine that combines art, culture and gastronomy. Local artists are called upon to decorate the restaurant's various lounges, and Bahian culture and its African origins are duly honored. Whether it's a menu from the sea or from the land, everything is created with high-quality ingredients. A successful challenge to "sustainable" cuisine. Worth knowing.

Named after the man of Brasilia, Oscar Niemeyer, this restaurant could not help but be dressed in the finery of the place that houses it. Opened in 2009, this Italian-influenced establishment attracts attention not only for its refined contemporary cuisine, but also for its sleek surroundings and its location in the city's oldest (and one of its most chic) hotels, the Brasilia Palace Hotel, designed by Niemeyer. View of the gardens and Lake Paranoa. Perhaps one of the best seafood risottos in the city.

This restaurant, in a restored farmhouse, decorated in a 1940s style, offers regional cuisine spiced up with some more exotic dishes and varied with farm products. Rustic and comfortable environment that brings in its decoration a collection of objects from the mid 40s. An open and charming space with a balcony and a garden, a beautiful rural museum with antiques that were part of the family collection. A bit of regional culture from the mid 30's and also a cultural exhibition of the folklore of Pirenópolis

The Nordeste culinary tradition is omnipresent in Pernambuco and in Recife in particular. The Parraxaxa is a good and traditional self-service restaurant of Nordestino food in a pleasant setting, with a typical decoration of the region. On Sundays, the restaurant opens its doors at 7am and offers a special brunch where you will enjoy many nordestine specialities. Pleasant service. There are now two Parraxaxa restaurants, one in the residential area of Casa Forte, the other in Boa Viagem.

The Tropicana restaurant is a small tropical paradise surrounded by forest and mangroves, just a stone's throw from the beach. In a simple atmosphere, under the vast wooden canopies, seafood and fish dishes grace the vast tables around which delighted diners gather. The menu is rich (including the famous peixada, for which people come from all over Rio, and grouper moqueca ) and the dishes are generously served. You don't always have the strength to order dessert. The service is very professional and pleasant.

Since 2000, Casa Di Pietro has established itself as a gastronomic landmark in Gramado. It is certainly an establishment that has succeeded in the challenge of being one of the most popular and pleasant restaurants in the city. A sculpture of a Franciscan friar greets the guests of the house and whets their appetite. The restaurant offers a self-service buffet by the kilo at lunchtime (not so common in the city). Various starters. Everyone should find their way around the diversity of dishes on offer (salad bar, grilled meats, soups, desserts, etc.).

The Catete Grill is the annex of the Arvel-voyage groups. Well located, close to the Catete metro station. It is an excellent restaurant by the kilo, certainly the best in the area. The buffet is varied and of good quality (salads, hot dishes, grilled meats...). If there is some space left, try the desserts. You can find sushi as well as "minute" cooked meats, lobster, raw vegetables. To be recommended for those who are very hungry at lunchtime! Like all popular restaurants, it's a bit noisy and full. An address to which you often return

This restaurant, led by Chef Pichi, former of Emiliano and of the ancient Café, offers both a pleasant framework and a careful kitchen, which ranges from oak to robalo on its lit rice bed. Very good spaghetti with seafood. Desserts are not in rest (fruit salad with basil sherbet) The addition is not too salty. Some clients complained about the slowness of the service.

Small and inexpensive Italian restaurant. A pleasant address in a neighborhood that is no less. Good pasta and pizza, but also a whole range of Italian dishes. Zucchini stuffed at 17 réais, gnocchi at 22 réais. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 12 a. m. to 15 p. m. and from 19 p. m. to midnight.

In an Berber style, you can enjoy good couscous and tagines while listening to the bled music. Desserts are also very good. The chef and owner of the premises, casablancais bon, imports his ingredients to make authentic Moroccan cuisine. One would almost think of the corniche in Casa at Bea.

Le Térèze is the restaurant of the magnificent Hotel Santa Teresa, now McGallery, in the eponymous district, one of the most beautiful establishments in the city of Rio. The menu, signed by chef Esteban Mateu, is of contemporary inspiration and high quality, and the use of "unconventional plants" is surprising. The wine list (particularly Chilean) is full of surprises. Thursday dinner: tasting menu (with wine). Excellent breakfast too, available daily to non-guests. Prices are reasonable.

At the foot of the Tulip Inn Hotel, the Branch is one of the few restaurants on the mythical Avenida Atlântica, which instead makes the beautiful part of the second zone or the pizzerias without flavor. In a modern and sober decor, the map, contemporary and international, offers delicious shrimp salad with artichokes and vanilla sauce or an amazing piece of beef, pie at the cresson and polenta. 

In a romantic setting with a very pleasant retro touch, the home-made pasta dishes are served on 33-round subdishes! Excellent comfort and beautiful wine map. Small piano jazz concerts in the evening. An excellent address! By descending the small stairs we get to «Escada Baixo», a beautiful surprise! The bar offers a modern rather rock-like atmosphere with a very cozy courtyard, and a simplified menu. Recommended.
