The best French cuisine restaurants Brazil

Once a real gastronomic complex, this establishment (which has nothing to do with Garcia & Rodrigues, the founders) has become a very good bistro. Delicious breakfasts, sandwiches, and high-end bakery. On the map, pasta, risottos, steaks, fish (succulent toasted salmon).

Le Saint-Tropez aims to be an international restaurant and bar with a French soul. The owner Guy, a French expatriate, opened the doors of his establishment in the early 1980s, and the big jovial Obelix at the entrance is now a well-known figure among tourists. The chef offers a good cuisine with an undeniable French touch, the moquecas are excellent. Grilled octopus with bacon, shrimps with thermidor sauce, scallops with "belle meunière" sauce. It's a bit expensive and the service can be improved.

Since 1953, the Ile de France restaurant has been a delight for guests, offering French cuisine in a charming setting. Fish to grapes, Coquilles shells, snails. A little expensive, but it is justified.

In the romantic hotel "Casablanca Imperial", the Casablanca Bistro is a refined and tasteful restaurant. The place itself is well worth a visit. The 60 seats are harmoniously distributed in a room with a wooden atmosphere, where a fireplace is enthroned and candles are lit in the evening. There is a fairly strong French influence in the dishes (although the menu does mention "a slight French accent"). The cuisine is "pure", simple, with noble foods, as in the Casablanca Imperial Hotel.

Modern frame in a sobrado. Chef Erick Jacquin, who is also moving to the Fourneaux of Café Antiquë, has just won his first star, just reward for his seriousness and his skills. French cuisine. Fat liver and fish specialities. Foie gras of duck and its banana-flambées and flambées bananas on its vegetable bed.

Good French table in a window with view of the garden and the open kitchen. A very popular restaurant, quite rightly. A lot of time to park, go by taxi.

Chef Flavio Frenkel offers creative cuisine in a "bistro" setting. Foie gras, wild boar filet with fig risotto. Excellent.

Within a framework of provincial charm to enjoy traditional French cuisine.

A good place for those on a budget. In a rustic and pleasant setting, the bar and pizzeria Evoluçao offers a quality menu of Italian dishes. On the menu are several types of pizza and homemade pasta, salads and fish dishes. The fine pastas are particularly appreciated and the tomato sauce has a tasty flavour. The service is professional and the dishes are served quickly. The wines are also good. There is the traditional Chilean wine "Concha Y toros". Good value for money.

The restaurant illuminated by pretty street lamps is one of the most elegant in Jeri. On the menu: fish, salads and even pizzas. The team in the kitchen offers attractive preparations. The prawns presented in pineapples are as tasty as they are beautiful. The cod in truffle oil is a house specialty. For dessert, the cocada sorbets are also delicious. Numerous cocktails make the Tamarindo's meals a little brighter. Very appreciated by the tourists, it is sometimes necessary to be patient before having a table.

It's one of the latest additions to the Mangai group, which also offers other restaurants by the kilo in Brasilia. In a spacious (sometimes noisy), sophisticated design, combining concrete and glass, Nau offers a variety of fish and seafood dishes. The portions are delicious and can be eaten by several people. A la plancha, in sauce or au gratin, seafood is always tasty and the menu is extensive. For a good start, try the caipiroska de caja or caju, and for a sweet finish, try the cocada. On certain days, the menu costs R$69.

Brasilia was built largely by Nordestins. Many stayed, others moved to the Paranoá lagoon in search of a better life, and all felt a deep nostalgia for their home region. Since 1982, the Gibao Carne do Sol has reconstituted itself as a small corner of the Nordeste, with its typical Nordeste menu and old photos. For a good carne de sol with cassava, salad, beans... In short, a good Nordeste meal in the middle of the Parc da Cidade. Relaxed atmosphere and large terrace.

On the road to various waterfalls and in a wide and pleasant setting, Pedreiras offers regional food from Goiás. You could almost think you were in Robinson Crusoe's house, all made of wood and decorated in a crazy way. Meat cooked on the fire, various casseroles, vegetable fritters and some salads make up the buffet. To complete the offer, a musician plays guitar throughout the afternoon. A nice option for a meal that is not rushed and cool. A bit disorganized. It's a pity.

If you're feeling a little blue because you miss the motherland, or if you're looking for a little delicacy in this world of brutes, this is the address for you. In a beautiful, brightly-lit dining room, chef Adriana Silvério always adds a touch of French soul to her dishes. Here, you're welcome from brunch to dinner, with a menu "in French". Quiche, "frites mayo", croque-madame, boeuf bourguignon, entrecôte au poivre, salade de Saint-Marcellin chaud. Great desserts. A place to know!

Amado is a contemporary Brazilian Michelin-starred restaurant run by Paulist chef Edinho Engel. Amado's cuisine has a French culinary touch, but the influences are international and varied. For starters, why not try the salmon tartar with wasabi and caviar cream, followed by a variation of moqueca with caju and shrimp, or shrimp-stuffed squid with mandioquinha mousseline. Enjoy the superb view of the bay as you savor these dishes.

A restaurant as we like them, where time seems to have stopped. A small wooden restaurant, friendly and simple. Tables placed directly on the beach of Cueira, almost feet in the water. A huge beach and palm trees. What else? Simply happiness. Guido's restaurant, located on the seafront of the Praia de Cueira, is known for its grilled lobsters, prepared in front of you on a wood fire. Sometimes the simplest pleasures are the best. The seafood dishes are not to be outdone. To know!

If Pousada Santa Clara is one of the best addresses on the island of Boipeba, some gourmets refer to the pousada 's restaurant as one of the best, if not the best, on the island. The Santa Clara restaurant offers contemporary cuisine made with carefully selected local ingredients. The menus, concocted by American chef Mark, change daily and offer three options for starter, main course and dessert. Reservations highly recommended during the summer.

Behind a simple front, reminiscent of the workshops of popular Paris, the restaurant l'Atelier offers its culinary art in a jazzy atmosphere. Seafood pasta, fettucine filet mignon, a real gastronomic address at affordable prices. 37 kinds of pasta dishes are offered. It's hard not to find happiness. Be careful with the buffet of starters (R$ 12.5 per 100 grams, i.e. 125 reais per kilo), which can make the bill go up!
