Barracas de Tacacá
These are street stalls serving tacacá, a classic Brazilian stew made from dried shrimp, manioc root, and jambú , an Amazonian herb that leaves tingly, jumpy feeling in your lips.

Bufolete
The service and ambiance here are less refined than its sister restaurant next door (Churrascaria Búfalo, a Manaus institution) - and the dining area is rather cave-like, with low ceilings and arches - but the food is good and the prices palatable.

Cafeteria do Largo
This unassuming boutique eatery specializes in all-natural tapas -style appetizers, and they may well be the most creative and well-prepared edibles anywhere in Manaus. Most are distinctly Amazonian, like smoked pirarucú pâté with açaí (berry-like fruit) rolls or a miniature log cabin made of tender palm hearts. The caipirinhas are stellar, and the setting - a scattering of outdoor stainless steel tables opposite Teatro Amazonas (opera house) - is hard to beat.

Churrascaria Búfalo
There's no better place in Manaus for rodizio , an all-you-can-eat meat extravaganza in which a cadre of tuxedoed waiters bring skewer after skewer of sizzling meat right to your table. Accompanied by a full salad and pasta bar, there's no chance of leaving here hungry. The price is rather steep, and some travelers complain about being approached by freelance guides here, but it's still a Manaus institution and a worthwhile splurge.

Restaurante Giratório
She's starting to creak and groan a bit, but the revolving restaurant atop the Taj Majal hotel still offers unbeatable views and better-than-average meals. Snag a table just upstream from the view of Teatro Amazonas (opera house) so you're sure to get at least two passes. The menu is a bit pricey, but not outrageously so; try the filete mignon or tucanaré in cupuaçu (a tart, tropical fruit)sauce.
