Brasilia and the West Restaurants

As the capital, Brasília attracts citizens from throughout the country as well as dignitaries from around the world. You can find a variety of regional cuisines as well as international fare. Brasília also has plenty of "per kilo" restaurants, usually decently priced cafeteria-like places where you pay according to the weight of your plate. Barring the fish dishes, the food in the Pantanal is neither as interesting nor as flavorful as that found elsewhere in the country. That said, the food is hearty, and the meals are large; affordable all-you-can-eat buffets are everywhere.

  • 1. Café Daniel Briand

    $ | Asa Norte

    Frenchman Daniel Brand's café has become a Brasília institution since opening in 1995. As well as the croissants and coffee for breakfast, it's the sumptuous cakes and pastries that keep customers coming back for more, year after year, at all times of the day. Try to get a table in the garden. Service can be slow.

    $$$$ | Amambaí

    Get your fill of the Pantanal's fish varieties at this restaurant run on a fixed-price rodizío system. Couples may want to try the caldo de piranhã (piranha stew)—it is reputed to have aphrodisiac properties.

  • 3. Fogo Caipira

    $$$$

    This is the place for regional cuisine, especially grilled and stewed fish dishes. The standout here is the picanha na chapa (grilled rump steak), but the moqueca de pintado (a local fish stew) is also recommended.

  • 4. Fogo de Chão

    $$$$ | Asa Sul

    One of the most popular fine-dining options in town, this churrascaria (steak house) is one of the best of its kind. The sleek ambience of this spacious restaurant adds to the allure. It's famous for its rodízio service, in which waiters bring various types of meat on the spit to your table, where they'll carve off as much as you like. The prix-fixe meal includes a large and varied salad bar, but it's the beef that draws the crowds.
