Fogo Caipira
The best dishes at this regional institution require an advance order, such as the galinhada (chicken stew, six hours) or pacu recheado (a tasty fish stuffed with manioc and spices, three hours). It’s pricey, but as the only restaurant in the city with culinary stars, it’s worth it.

Mangai
Newly awarded its culinary stars, this Bahian per-kilo offers a host of creative dishes served up by Natal chef João Pessoa at a startlingly low price. Try the sovaco-de-cobra, a kind of beef jerky with green corn. It’s down by the Ponte JK.

A Casa do João
The new top spot in town for fish dishes, being especially famous for its traíra (a predatory fish) which comes in a range of sizes depending on your appetite. All the furniture here is made from recycled wood from fallen trees in the local area.

Mania de Pizza
No fewer than 55 different toppings to choose from, with some interesting combinations such as Coreana and Stroganoff, as well as a raft of dessert pizzas for those with a sweet tooth. Delivery option available.

Al Manzul
It’s difficult to argue with reports that this is the best Middle Eastern restaurant in all of Brazil. There’s no menu: it’s a 30-dish feast of Last Supper proportions. Reserve in advance.

O Galpão
If you like the all-you-can-eat experience but don’t have a wallet as big as your stomach, then give this central cheapie a go. It has the added bonus of being open on a Sunday, too.

Pizza na Pedra
A lively pizzeria right on ‘Praça Popular’. It does an excellent pizza rodízio (all you can eat) on Tuesday and Thursday for R$28. Save room for the ridiculous sweet pizzas.

Choppão
Occupying an entire junction, this Cuiabá institution offers huge portions of meat and fish for two, all chased with frigid chope (draft beer) in specially iced tankards.

Ceará
One of the city’s best peixarias (fish restaurants). The pintado in a tomato stew with banana mandioca (cassava) incites tears of culinary joy.

-
R & J Café
A swanky bistro that inexplicably charges corner-café prices for inventive, top-drawer, lunchtime meals. There is a fantastic variety of desserts on offer, too.

Peixaria Popular
The lunch course for one will feed you plus a horse. It comes with three types of regional fish dishes and all the accompaniments. A must.

O Casarão
Bouncing buffet joint on the main drag. It’s worth paying the extra for the fish rodízio.

Comitiva Pantaneira
A massive per-kilo swarming with locals digging into seriously good Pantaneira cowboy cuisine.
