LORENZO - PIZZERIA & CANTINA
Read moreLorenzo-Pizzeria & cantina is an establishment that honors transalpine cuisine. In this restaurant with its old-fashioned tablecloths, the pizzas are thin-crust and cooked over a wood-fired oven, which is unusual in Brazil. Homemade pasta, picanha or seafood risotto, prepared with meticulous attention to detail and fresh, noble ingredients. A fine wine list means you can enjoy Italian, Chilean or Argentinean wines by the glass. Regular concerts.
BANANALAND
Read moreThe Bananaland restaurant, not to be confused with Paraty's Banana da Terra, has been a popular spot in Buzios for a quarter of a century. Chef Beto, who owns the place, has succeeded in making Bananaland a compromise between good food and affordable cuisine. Just off Santos-Dumont Square, this high-flying "kilo" offers a good variety of very good dishes (25 salads and 25 hot dishes). The moqueca is unforgettable. Some dishes have won prizes in national competitions. Try their famous crepe with maracujá liqueur!
BAR DOS PESCADORES
Read moreIt's not a bar, it's a good fish restaurant. There are excellent moquecas, (vegetarians and vegans can enjoy excellent vegan moquecas ), succulent lobsters, fisherman's salad, grilled fish and squid. We were seduced by a plate of pink conger eel. Some customers were converted to seafood even though they weren't necessarily fans of it, that is to say. Admittedly, the restaurant is simple, but the decor and the dishes are worth the trip to Porto da Barra.
SALSA TEMPERO & ARTE
Read moreSalsa is an address that does not demerit since we discovered it in 2014. Here's another good kilo in the center of Búzios. The dishes on offer are well cooked: fish, meat, lobster, vegetables... No emphasis, but a very correct cuisine and a relatively sweet addition to Buzios. The starters, the main courses, the desserts, everything is up to the guests' expectations. Salsa offers a majority of carefully selected organic products. The cuisine is light and varied. The reception is very professional and pleasant.
FARINATTA BISTRÔ & ARTE
Read moreIn her restaurant-gallery, the Farinatta Bistrô & arte, chef Eloisa Ramos offers an inventive and creative menu. She takes pleasure in coming to explain the menu directly to her guests. Behind the names of mysterious dishes - gnocchi à la présidente, agneau profane, osso buco fin du monde -, we discover a delicious and surprising plate, and, at this level of gastronomy, a beautiful aesthetic sophistication. The wine list will allow you to best appreciate these corpus delicti de la gourmandise. The best gnocchis of the region for sure.
A GALERIA
Read moreThe Galeria is a great discovery of PF on Buzios since... 2014. This restaurant, located in the beautiful Insólito Boutique Hotel, offers varied cuisine in a French-Brazilian fusion style. The chef Marcelo works with as much happiness fish, seafood and meats. Here, the appetizer will be the breathtaking view of the Ferradura beach. The team of waiters around chef Rodrigo is very professional. A hanging garden on the sea... To discover absolutely if you can afford it, because at Buzios as elsewhere quality has a price.
BAR DO ZÉ
Read moreA 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.
ESTANCIA DON JUAN
Read moreArgentinean 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.
