The best restaurants Curitiba

Founded in 1958, Curitiba's central market is certainly the most pleasant place to shop like a true curitibense. The "belly of Curitiba" is certainly not very big, but there is a good coffee shop (with several national varieties to taste or take away), stalls and a few restaurants on site. You can buy wine, cheese, "ethnic" products and medicinal herbs. On the first floor is the organic products area, with a restaurant. It is the meeting place for people from all walks of life in the city.

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.

Designated by Quatro Guide guide as the best German restaurant in the city. Very good sauerkraut and German specialities. The price is very good.

For who hungry pizza or pasta, a restaurant well, but without a lot of culinary imagination. On the other hand, the place - an old, charming local manor - is a picturesque building, musical animation is of good quality and dining very frequented by female gente, especially on Sunday evening. You can try the fondue.

The decor is Bavarian, but the kitchen is Italian. In the midst of ancient objects you can eat excellent pasta, pizza and meat. This award has been continuously acclaimed since its opening. Certainly a good address.

Its blend of French, Italian and Brazilian cuisines and its creativity make it one of the best restaurants in the city. Good wine card.

This restaurant was built in the walls of an old mansion of 1919. Try to try the regional kitchen. Typical dishes of Curitiba and its region, of good quality and not too expensive. On Sunday, make two stones and see the Feira de artesanato also.

In this beautiful historic house in the heart of Curitiba, you can enjoy excellent gourmet pizzas and pastas to the sound of a piano playing jazz or barcarolles. Fine dough, noble ingredients, wood-fired cooking... The pizzaiolos work hard to make pizzas the Italian way... or the paulista way. The buffet of salads, antipasti and pasta at lunchtime on weekdays really honours the cuisine of the boot. You can find grilled meat (filet mignon), fish (salmon à la mode du chef). A good address.

For almost 40 years, the Swiss chalet has been offering its refined cuisine in Curitiba. French and Swiss influenced cuisine in a pleasant setting. You can enjoy snails with butter and parmesan cheese au gratin! The best fondue in the city according to the gastronome Béa de la Vacquerie. The rodizio Boa Lembraça is a Brazilian all-you-can-eat fondue formula that allows you to try everything. Well, it's not very new cuisine, but who cares, it's good. The price is high, it's true, but when you like it...

In a very cosy setting, this international restaurant is regularly honored as one of the best tables of Slavic cuisine in all of Brazil. The restaurant serves very good cuisine based on recipes from Ukraine, Poland and Russia. Try borscht as a starter (beetroot soup with pork chops), then platzki (potato pancakes). The Slavic banquet (R$ 120) gives a gastronomic insight into Slavic cuisine (plaztki, holopti, filet mignon, Russian salad... of course). A good overview of the diversity of Curitiba.

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

Chief Pedro Pedro has been in the piano of his Italian restaurant for 18 years in a slightly rustic setting. The thematic map (Arabic, Japanese, Italian) varies daily. Live music on weekends. Good and cheap. You can even take cooking courses there.

This restaurant is an attraction in itself and can accommodate up to 4,600 people! It is the largest restaurant in Latin America. Its reputation is not only linked to its size. For the past 30 years, Mrs. Madalosso has always been in charge of the stoves of her eponymous restaurant, fortunately not alone. Her cuisine honours the Italy of her origins! All the customers are entitled to the same dishes served at the table in rodizio: fried polenta, chicken, risotto, salads, gnocchi, lasagne, rondeli, etc. A place not to be missed in Curitiba.

Quintana Café is a traditional, welcoming Curitiba establishment that reflects the people of Paraná's capital. Spearheading local cultural eco-gastronomy. With poems and books scattered around the house, the chef and owner pays homage to gaucho poet Mario Quintana. At the central buffet, the influences are diverse. Mediterranean, Northern European, local and Asian cuisine, depending on the day of the week. Ingredients are organic, fresh and local.

Like the confeitaria das familias, the churrascaria Ervin is a traditional house of grill specialities in the city centre. It's a good option for eating good meat at very affordable prices. Some dishes are prepared for two or three people, others are individual. The choice is certainly more limited than in some churrascarias, but the four types of meat on offer are undoubtedly among the best in Curitiba. The PF does not advocate the consumption of meat, but meat lovers will find their way around.
