The South

Brazilian restaurants in The South

  1. Muffato

    Want to eat where the locals eat? Trust us on this one. Inside a hideous hypermarket near the bus terminal is a place with little atmosphere but one that serves a very typical, very tasty and cheap Brazilian pay-by-weight (the food, not you) buffet.

    Búfalo Branco

    The best churrascaria (restaurant featuring barbecued meat) in town is known for its succulent meat and fine service. Arrive hungry to take full advantage of the endless rodízio (smorgasbord) of grilled beef and pork.

  3. Casa de Coimbra

    Heavy wood doors open up to a cool, country casa, right in the heart of the city. The rustic interior, filled with folk art, is a perfect atmosphere to enjoy hearty, home-cooked Brazilian fare.

    Box 32

    This historic bar and restaurant in the Mercado Municipal claims to be ‘the most democratic box in Brazil.’ Local celebrities come during happy hour for frothy beer and fresh seafood.

    Casarão

    Housed in an old colonial building, this breezy place has a huge per-kilo lunch buffet and an á la carte menu in the evenings. Live music nightly.

  6. Armazém

    Seat yourself on the shady terrace at this attractive, colonial-style house – a lovely setting in which to enjoy gourmet Brazilian food and a nice selection of wines.
