, buffet of hors d'oeuvres to follow after the traditional caipirinha and its appetizers at the bar. The rodizio consists of meat of the highest quality: picanha, mignon, alcatra, mamiya, cupim… family, friends or businessmen. The restaurant is full every evening.

A high-quality and well reputed churrascaria. The servers dressed in trajes from Rio Grande do Sul, gaucho country, offer you 17 types of barbecue cooked meats only with large salt. In the central buffet there are many salad options and hot dishes. To accompany the meal you can take a chimarrão (maté), served at the table (included in the price). 

Here, it is absolutely the "class". A left-bank atmosphere for this good restaurant with three nets to three sauces, orange duck and French or Chilean wines. Cheese lovers will not be disappointed!

Located on Avenida das Hortênsias, the Vue de la Vallée enjoys a privileged location next to Vale do Quilombo, one of the most beautiful spots in Serra Gaúcha. One comes here to enjoy the view of the valley, and the famous fondue rodizio, made with Uruguayan cheese (exclusive to Gramado), served in two options: traditional or on the stone (La Pierrade). As in any rodizion, everything is in unlimited mode: cheese, meat and chocolate, three flagship products of the region. Very good wine list. A good address!

Club do Balanço is the café-restaurant of the eponymous pousada. Established since 1993 on the second beach (Segunda Praia), this establishment has built a solid reputation in a place that does not lack competition. Inspired by capixaba (from the neighboring state of Espirito Santo), the menu also offers the "classics" of Bahian cuisine such as bobó de camarão and moqueça. You can eat inside or directly on the beach. The menu is diversified, local seafood, fish, but also pasta and sandwiches for the small hunger.

Churrascaria Carretao is an institution for meat lovers. The best quality/price ratio of all the churrascarias in the Zona Sul. We serve you at the table until you are hungry. The meats are varied and excellent, the buffet includes a wide selection of salads, sushi, smoked salmon and trout. It's very good, not too expensive and popular. Children under 5 years old pay nothing and those under 10 years old pay half price. The desserts (which look good) are on the other hand paying and less cheap.

The Café du Mar is both a bar and a beach restaurant. It's a beautiful place, rustic and pleasant. It welcomes visitors until late at night, secluded from the bustling center of Abraão, on the magnificent Praia do Canto. You really can eat here with your feet in the sand. You're rarely disappointed. The dishes are hearty. The choice of kebabs is varied. Wednesday is barbecue day. Excellent grilled fish and meats are on offer. Cocktails and fresh fruit juices are also very good. At sunset, the place becomes magical.

In a place where Argentinians are omnipresent, the presence of an Argentinian churrascaria seems to flow naturally. The 2-storey restaurant offers a genuine Argentine parrilla in a friendly setting. as the restaurant's slogan puts it, "Here, it's the meat that does the show". This restaurant has been an institution since the late 1980s, when a gaucho restaurateur, Juan Levin, had the idea of importing the traditional parrillada. Churrascos are served here, as well as excellent fish dishes. It's a shame the service isn't as good.

Lovers of good sushi will find something here to satisfy the most demanding and delicate palates. A lot of fish and a creative cuisine in this restaurant which is among the best in Pipa. It is a European and Asian fusion revisited with a Brazilian touch. The menu is certainly simple, but the dishes offered are varied and especially the technique of sushi is superbly mastered. The tuna dishes (with sesame or mango chutney) are very popular with the customers... Responsive and professional service, a bit of a wait at the entrance some evenings.

The name of Mangai restaurant will not be unknown to travellers who have been to the Nordeste. And for good reason! This small chain of restaurants was born in João Pessoa and has built up a solid reputation. It has managed to conquer Brasilia. Its "by the kilo" buffet offers good, rich and varied Nordeste cuisine. The great classics of Sertaneja cuisine are presented here in versions that are both tasty and original. The setting is spacious and the terrace with a view of the lake and the JK bridge is equipped with several hammocks.

For many Soteropolitanos and tourists used to the "Black Rome", this grill is the best churrascaria in Salvador. As in many churrascarias, you'll enjoy the rodízio, a round of 24 different kinds of meat served as much as you like by twirling waiters in a well-regulated ballet, but also the rich buffet of salads, seafood and hot dishes, which offers around 80 options as well as quality sushi. The waiters pass through the dining room, serving quality meat at every turn if you wish.

Sirià is a pleasant restaurant in Alter do Chão. The warm-hearted Bethania welcomes you to her shady terrace overlooking a pleasant little garden. Her menu is simple and vegetarian (vegan option available). The dish on the slate changes daily, but the plates are always hearty, healthy and full of flavor. Bethania puts a lot of heart into her cooking, carefully selecting ingredients and preparing them with precision. Excellent desserts and perfect coffee. A precious and beautiful address.

This is one of the most traditional and renowned houses, the dishes are prepared for two and several people can order two or three kinds of meat. The local differs from the traditional churrascarias. At Barranco, you can choose your table among the different rooms, the atmosphere is that of a house with a covered terrace. The place is always full, you have to get there early on the weekend. On the menu, meat of course: picanha, lombo, costela... We choose the side dishes separately and the waiter goes around with a cart offering the salads.

The Lua & Mar restaurant offers a simple, pleasant setting. Garden tables are laid out on the sand on Canto beach. The restaurant specializes in fish and seafood, served in the shade of almond trees at lunchtime and by candlelight in the evening. You can listen to the lapping of the waves as you savor well-crafted dishes. The bobó de camarao (shrimp) and the fish or shrimp moqueca, two Bahian dishes, are two marvels on the menu. The caipirinhas are said to be the best on the island! Expensive but good.

Café Gourmet is one of those little neighborhood restaurants that we love, still untouched by mass tourism. A small, attractively priced restaurant in the heart of Pelourinho, still authentic, which has unfortunately become quite rare! The menu is simple, but the dishes are good. The moqueca, typical of Salvador, is appetizing. Meat dishes (filet mignon, "carne do sol") are also well served and renowned for their value for money. During the day, you can come in for a coffee and relax in this typically Bahian atmosphere.

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...

At the edge of the lake, in a pleasant setting. The Bargaço is a restaurant of seafood and traditional bahianaise cuisine in Brasília, but at high prices.

This superb hotel-restaurant, which overlooks the river of the same name, offers the typical barreado, a regional dish from the cuisine of the herdsmen who regularly crossed the region. You can also eat good fish dishes (Milanese style fish). Ideally located 600 metres from the bus station and 200 metres from the Serra verde train station, the restaurant is an ideal "stopover" during a visit to Morretes.

Mentioning Argentina inevitably brings to mind the idea of meat, churrasco and the sacrosanct parrilada. The restaurant "El Argentino" is no exception to the rule. We are certainly in the center of Canoa Quebrada, at the seaside, but the Argentino proposes on its menu to eat several kinds of meat. The parriladas "argentinas", of the "chef" and of the sea are very generously served and can satisfy 3 to 4 people. The 1/2 portions will be enough for two. Good atmosphere and some wines to accompany your dish, long live the porteño style at the beach!

This former ^17th-century house is certainly a romantic restaurant. Casa da Gamboa specializes in seafood. We'd particularly recommend the tasty moqueca de camarão(they must have something the others don't...), but the menu offers many other interesting dishes. One of the specialties for which diners come from all over the region is undoubtedly the lobster. One of the unmistakable flavors of the house is undoubtedly the quality of the service, the attentiveness and the smile of the team.
