Restaurants cuisine du monde Manaus

Opposite the Bar do Armando, Casa do Pensador has carved out a place for itself in the small world of Manaus restaurants. Close to the famous Manaus Opera House, right in the tourist and cultural heart of the city, Casa do Pensador offers cheap pizzas and typical regional dishes (fish, for example), as well as good beers. Service is sometimes a little slow, but the friendliness of the staff and the magnificent view of the Opera House more than make up for this.

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.

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
