Restaurants cuisine du monde Brazil

Although the restaurant has changed address, the table is still as famous in Mariana. Dom Siverio has been serving excellent wood-fired pizzas for almost a quarter of a century! The pizzas and calzones come in a variety of options (tuna, cod, Californian). You can also eat a good dish for nothing. The lasagne or the filet parmiggiana are not bad either. The more adventurous can try the sweet pizzas (mozzarella, banana, cinnamon). The owners will give you a warm welcome.

As in Rio, the Manjericao is an excellent pizzeria that has been delighting fans of this Neapolitan dish for more than 10 years now. This pizzeria has the secret of excellent pizzas with extra-fine dough and original ingredients (taste the house specialty, pizza with basil, nuts, garlic, parmesan and catupiry). Vegetarians will not be outdone. The environment itself is very pleasant. The restaurant is well designed and warm and the team is super professional and pleasant. A sure value in Teresopolis at the right price.

This is without a doubt the best Asian restaurant in Rio, quite simply. In a warm and wooded decor, Nam Thai gives pride of place to Thai dishes, not hesitating to spice up some of them to give them almost the original flavour of the kingdom of Siam. Some dishes are unavoidable: the Nuea Massaman (beef strips, coconut sauce, almonds and curry of aniseed and cinnamon, very spicy!), or the Pad Pong Garee (shrimps, ginger, sweet peppers and Indian curry). Try it with your eyes closed!

A fixture in the heart of Búzios for 25 years, Bar do Zé (which is not just a bar, but one of Búzios' top-rated restaurants) has made a name for itself with its fine cuisine featuring fish and sweet-savory combinations, such as grouper with banana and cashew nuts, and its setting facing Praia do Armação, on the Orla Bardot. Its straw hut style gives it a rustic chic feel. Candlelit evenings add to the romanticism of the place. Seating close to the terrace with a view of the sea lends itself perfectly to dinner for two.

Petras, the restaurant of Pousada das Pedras, offers a varied menu, from excellent wood-fired pizzas to the purest mineira specialties, all in a welcoming setting. The team is a family affair, with mother (who's the chef) and son in the kitchen. This family harmony is reflected in the dishes and the small but high-quality menu. The ravioli are incredibly tasty. Finishing the meal with the subtle sweetness of the homemade walnut tart will leave you with a taste of home.

This is the restaurant of the Colonial Hotel. This establishment is in the image and spirit of the colonial hotel. It is rustic and tasteful and it fits very well with the spirit of the place. The Cova do Daniel is a good table with strong mineiras consonances, in a rustic frame. We will taste the tutu mineiro and the feijão tropeiro... Of course. One will appreciate particularly this quiet, welcoming and pleasant place, far from the agitation of the downtown of Congonhas during the days very charged of visitors of the sanctuary.

The best self-service restaurant in town, with a special emphasis on Minas Gerais specialities! The establishment is simple and welcoming, just like Minas Gerais. If the coquettish Tiradentes is dressed in beautiful clothes, its cuisine often remains simple and based on the search for quality food. The Divino Sabor restaurant respects these principles to the letter. The soapstone kettles provide appetizing mineiro dishes that have been delighting locals and tourists for many years. A restaurant by the kilo with a fairly good price-quality ratio.

Modern and functional, you don't come to the Chafariz restaurant for its architecture or decoration, which are very ordinary. It is, however, a perfect self-service restaurant for lunch, located very close to the Maria-Fumaça train station, which is what you want in a restaurant. All the dishes are appetizing, from salads to desserts. The food is carefully prepared and well presented. Chafariz restaurant offers a buffet formula for R$ 30, which means all you can eat, without weighing the plate. Mineira cuisine and churrasco are de rigueur

In the beautiful Pousada do Amparo, the Flor do Côco restaurant offers quality regional cuisine. The kitchen has been arranged so that you can see all the stages of preparation of the dishes and admire its beautiful rustic décor. The appetite is whetted even before the plate arrives. You feel as if you are in an old colonial farmhouse surrounded by pots and pans and beautiful scenery. It is a subtle combination of Brazilian cuisine with a contemporary sophistication. Beautiful flavours to discover and an unforgettable view of Recife.

The Hawaiian word Mahalo means "Gratitude, tranquility, good fortune, inner peace and even divine blessing". And that's what you feel when you walk into this beautiful, sleek establishment. It is an excellent restaurant in Cuiabà. Its contemporary cuisine subtly blends Brazilian products and French sophistication, but regional cuisine is not forgotten. At lunchtime, on weekdays, a simpler and cheaper cuisine is offered. You can thus enjoy the refinement of a great table at very low prices. A must-see!

The restaurant has blended the food from Nordeste with food from Minas in the South-east of the country. The result seems to be appreciated by customers, who are still numerous. The menu is wide and the evening some pass just to get a drink and nibble. 

Several recipes from the traditional soil carne, some kind of more salty and well-cooked meat, very popular in northeastern Nordeste.

Waku Sese is a café-restaurant specializing in iced açai. In the 90s, the Amazonian açai fruit saw its nutritional virtues being recognized beyond the borders of its region of origin. From the 2000s, it is the iced açai that will conquer the country. Waku Sese offers very good preparations of açai, but also buriti. It is also a very good option to eat typical and tasty manauense food like the traditional Amazonian tacacà , or melted cheese with tapioca. Varied menu

Whether in Olinda, Aracaju or Natal, our culinary knowledge will not be complete if we do not try the traditional tapiocas. A very nice option to taste tapiocas. Several colorful tables, a cheerful decoration and the smiling tapioqueiras (the women who prepare tapiocas) provide the atmosphere. There are more than 40 options on the menu, ranging from the traditional to the very creative. We recommend the carne seca com nata (dried meat with cream) or the one with cheese, dried tomatoes and basil.

In a small pink house, this restaurant, with a little retro inspiration, has become a reference to Foz de Iguaçu. It offers quality Italian cuisine, with of course pizzas and pasta, gnocchi, lasagne. The typical dessert is sagu with cream, imported to southern Brazil by Italian immigrants. We often speak of "canteen", but here we must find a noble meaning. It is indeed a place where you come to eat frequently, and at a fair price. Cachaca is offered for digestion.

The Chef Lopez buffet restaurant has changed its location. It is now in the Catuai shopping center, but the ingredients that made it successful have not changed. Chef Lopes is a good restaurant where the meat pieces are served in the best Brazilian style. At lunchtime, the buffet is good and fairly cheap. The house risottos also attract gourmets. An effort is made to make the dishes as good for the palate as for the eyes. Simple and sophisticated, this is definitely a good value for money establishment.

In the upper town, girded in the red and green colors of Italy, the Don Francesco Trattoria is an address that honors transalpine cuisine. Close to the "Quatro Cantos", where all the Olinda carnival lines gather, don Francesco is undoubtedly one of the best Italian restaurants in the region. Spaghetti carbonara, ricotta ravioli, risotto, gnocchi... the classic and the not-so-classic are all on the menu, to the delight of gourmets. Quite good value for money.

Leila drew on the origins of Bahian food to create her restaurant. The result: African-influenced food and Baiano recôncavo. The air-conditioned main room is reminiscent of a candomblé terreiro. As for the food, lots of shrimp, seafood, peanuts and cashews form the basis of this gourmet cuisine, also inspired by dishes prepared in public markets. For the main course, the choice is between the seafood feijoada, a house specialty, theEfo (of African origin prepared with taioba, a green leaf full of vitamins), the coconut Mariene (Leila's creation), a real favorite of this place.

The Lebanese restaurant "Castelo Libanes" honors Lebanese and Arabic cuisine. In a sober and pleasant setting, the menu offers the classics of Middle Eastern cuisine. Hummus, kibe, kebab, baba ganoush, esfihas (meat skewers) allow the guests to know some of the specialties of the cedar country, where we meet in a friendly atmosphere tourists, members of the Arab and Lebanese community of Foz, and regulars. A place to know in this multicultural city. Marhabaan!

In one of Lençois' liveliest streets, the Quilombola restaurant is a fitting tribute to regional cuisine. In reference to the origins of many of the Chapadas' inhabitants (quilombolas are communities of former maroon slaves), all Bahian and regional cuisine is offered in quality in a simple, welcoming setting. Shrimp moqueca with banana da terra, fried apnhari with manioc purée, with good music in the background. What else?

"The place" maybe for cheap and good food on Foz. At the Barracao you will find a very good value for money buffet, with dozens of cold and hot dishes offered to guests. It's a little piece of Minas Gerais in paranoiac land. Some dishes are proposed à la carte. Dona Izabel has been cooking for almost 40 years in this soberly decorated but delicately decorated restaurant. The last but not the least, the barracao happy hour recently opened right across the street and is becoming one of the must-see places in Foz.

The restaurante bom Sabor is an interesting option in Araruama. Admittedly, it's a little sanitized, but it's functional and pleasant. Bom Sabor offers a buffet of quality food by the kilo. We come here especially for its Japanese sushi options. (sashimi, sushi, makimonos uramaki and ossomaki. Hot sushi is also available. The "combos" are made up of different assortments and contain up to 80 pieces. Open only until 4pm, however.

On Fora beach in Trindade, 30 kilometers from the city of Paraty, Vagalume do Meio is a seafood restaurant. Logically enough for a beach restaurant, it serves fish, seafood and grilled meats. The seafood risotto is hearty enough for 3 or 4 people. The shrimp portions are also generous. Fish in shrimp sauce (molho de camarao), seafood caldeiradas, lobster tails... In short, a simple and interesting gastronomic experience.

Bartholomeu has become one of the best restaurants in Paraty. For the meat of course, but not only. It must be said that the chef, Don Julio, is an Argentinean who has been living in Brazil for a long time. So he knows about meat. But his menu goes far beyond the "picanha". He offers a delicious modern international cuisine, inspired by Argentine recipes. Try the picanha with Roquefort cheese, it's a success. Excellent wine list (Argentinean, of course!). The plate reflects the decoration: sophisticated and refined.

The small door and the long corridor of the entrance do not suggest such a space... When you enter the establishment, it is an explosion of colors. The place is decorated with care and you can sit in the room or on the patio. In this decor with hippie accents and a Zen atmosphere, we find on the menu perfectly executed Thai specialties, with delicate flavors, carefully presented in banana leaves. Pad Thai, of course, but also shrimp curry and vegetarian dishes. The service is very pleasant.

As Minas Gerais regulars will have gathered, chef Ricardo Martins offers a fusion of the delicacy and spice of Thai cuisine with the richness of regional Minas Gerais cuisine. Uai is in fact an interjection referring to the Mineira culture and expressing surprise. Uaithai is indeed a pleasant surprise. The chef has succeeded in highlighting and marrying the most subtle flavors of the two cuisines, with the blending skills of the Bordeaux cellar masters. A crazy combination of aromas to discover.

As its name suggests, Restaurant Takê has been honoring Japanese cuisine for almost a quarter of a century. With its sober decor and welcoming atmosphere, the menu features fine Japanese and international cuisine. Culinary innovation is the watchword of the men at the piano. An excellent sushi rodizio is offered to guests. Guests can choose to eat à la carte or try the tasting menu. Quality honored by numerous culinary magazines.

For a few years now, this store of Amazonian culinary specialties has brought the flavors of Pará to Rio de Janeiro and seduced the demanding Cariocas. It must be said that the virtues and flavors of the acai, an Amazonian berry, are now known far beyond the borders of Pará. The Tacacà do Norte store is entirely dedicated toaçai na tigela, (açai ice cream). The neighboring store Tacacà do Norte Gourmet, offers typical Amazonian dishes, such as the eponymous tacacà or the vatapa, a shrimp soup. A change of scenery guaranteed!

For 3 years now, this former store founded in 1854 has been transformed, much to the delight of the bohemian Santa Teresa district, into a bar and pousada that has quickly made a name for itself in the sun. The traditional coverings have been preserved, and the mix of old and new has been perfectly adapted to the spirit of the place. Modern cocktails alternate with traditional cooked dishes or beautifully crafted caipirinhas. The "spirit of Santa Teresa" is guaranteed, with good ao vivo music on certain evenings.

Argentinean restaurant, to satisfy the strong community of holidaymakers hermanos (brothers, that's how Brazilians call their southern neighbors). Obviously, the best meat in asado (barbecue) in all its forms: picanha, entrecote, olho de bife... All to be accompanied by a good bottle of Malbec. Very pleasant patio. Tango shows are offered on Tuesday nights. Obviously, if you don't like meat, you will lose a bit of the soul of this restaurant which puts forward the Argentinean traditions.

The restaurant at the Pousada Passargada lives up to its reputation. It serves excellent Bahian cuisine, as well as a variety of dishes, salads and burgers. The view from the terrace is magical. You can enjoy an afternoon tea(chà da tarde) or sip an aperitif while admiring the play of colors on the Por do Sol, before sitting down to dinner. Land (grilled meat), sea (seafood and fish, ceviche), salad, pasta, snacks, veggie, there's something for everyone. A good address.

Not far from the airport and accessible by road or by boat (the restaurant has a private beach), Casa do Saulo is a reference in the Santarem region and beyond. This good Brazilian restaurant is located on top of a small hill overlooking the Tapajos River and has several very pleasant areas under the trees, one of which has a pool. The food here is excellent fish dishes - including the famous tambuqui - served with hearty side dishes. A very nice place where you can linger with delight.

Giuseppe Mar is a restaurant in Barra's Village Mall, dedicated entirely to seafood. The restaurant's trademark is a display case filled with ice, fish and seafood brought in daily by the teams of divers and fishermen. Depending on the day's arrivals, guests can choose from grouper, whiting or sea bass for their dishes. The prices are high but the menu, very well prepared, will certainly justify exceeding the budget.

In the beautiful "Village mall" of Barra de Tijuca, Adega Santiago (a franchise that can be found in São Paulo) features Spanish and Portuguese cuisine. We recommend the seafood dishes (cod, paella, black paella, tuna salad, cod fritters), which are very good. Vegans can try a very good veggie paella. On a nice wine list, you can find excellent Chilean wines. The seats near the large windows offer a superb view of the beach of Barra. A bit expensive.

You won't necessarily appreciate its location, in a shopping center, especially the one in Barra, far from the center and south of Rio, where tourists are usually to be found. However, once you're there, it's clear that the Gabbiano is a fine Italian restaurant, well worth "relocating" to this remote area for an evening. In fact, everything is done to make you love the place. The restaurant was designed by the architect Bel Castro, the waiters are super pro and the food very good. L'ospitalità italiana!

The Quatro Amici pizzeria is a cosy place in this lively and quiet area of Barra, a few meters from the Farol beach. It is a pizzeria with a chic restaurant service (valet parking at the entrance). The façade and the interior show a real aesthetic research. The alternation of bricks, which gives a vintage aspect, with the wood of the ceiling and the bright white walls, gives a cosy and pleasant aspect. The pizzas and Italian dishes are of good quality. The food and wine lists are rich and of high quality.

For lovers of Asian cuisine, Mr. Lam appears more and more as a must. The place itself, near the lagoa, in one of the most popular neighborhoods of Rio, is already an invitation to travel. This magnificent residence propels us to China, under the protective shadow of the Ming statues. Chef Lam has "repatriated" many of his dishes from his London and New York establishments. Traditional satay dishes (shrimp and chicken), spring rolls but also an interesting tasting menu at R$ 300. Worth knowing!

In the pleasant Gavea district, near the Jockey Club, Braseiro da Gavea is a veritable institution. In a rather sober and cosy setting, the food is simple and of high quality. The traditional picanha takes the lion's share. The side dishes are also of high quality (rice with broccoli, potatoes, sausages...). Arrive early on weekends, as tables fill up quickly. Beer and caipirinha accompany the dishes. The service is very professional, the setting pleasant...What else?

Here, we are not in the standards of the great restoration but it is precisely what we like to find at random in the streets of Rio. In the district of Catete, very central between the commercial and cultural activities of the Centro and the beaches and animations of the South zone, the rotisseria Sirio Libanesa is an interesting option. In this small restaurant, often crowded, you can find the classic esfiha, the kibe, very good fruit juices. A good plan, cheap.

Located in one of Lençois' liveliest streets, the Don Oba restaurant has earned a reputation as a fine dining and convivial venue. All the regional classics are served here with excellence. Carne do sol is a favorite, as are picanha (grilled noble meat) and the more basic "aipim" (cassava French fries). The "poço encantado" cocktail, to be enjoyed with or without moderation, is excellent. The decor is both sober and tasteful. The welcome from Leivi, her family and her team is absolutely friendly and professional. A must visit!

The quiet Las Sorrentinas restaurant is one of the few places on Ilha Grande to delight the palate of gourmets and novices alike. This cozy, wood-framed restaurant is run by Argentinian chefs, but the reference to Sorrento is unmistakable. A wide variety of homemade pasta dishes are lovingly prepared. Try the house specialty, pasta a la Sorrentine, a large ravioli generously filled. The desserts are excellent. The maracuja mousse is incomparable.

L'Atelier Cafeteria offers simple, good food in a pleasant setting, lively day and night. Salads, wraps, crêpes and tapiocas are served generously indoors, on the terrace, on the beach or on the sidewalk. Cocktails are served in moderation, and can be enjoyed while watching the sunset. With ao vivo music on certain evenings, very competitive prices and a very attentive staff, it's easy to see why this is such a popular address.
