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.

  • 21. Regionalíssimo

    $$$

    In the same building as the Museu do Rio, this ever-popular self-service eatery offers regional cuisine and Brazilian staples such as rice and beans. Try the mojica de pintado, a stew made from a local freshwater fish.

    Av. Beira Rio s/n, Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, 78005-250, Brazil
    065-3623–6881

  • 22. Taboá

    $$$$

    Since 1995, this dining and—above all—drinking spot has evolved from a hole in a wall into a Bonito landmark that can seat nearly 300 for dinner. The regional food is respectable, but it's the artisanal cachaça, the music, and the boisterous atmosphere that keep the crowds coming. Customers are encouraged to write on the walls.

    Rua Piad Rebua 1837, Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, 79–290000, Brazil
    067-3255–3598
  • 23. Universal Diner

    $$$$ | Asa Sul

    The kitschy decor is one of the main attractions of this restaurant—bulldog statuettes, miniature porcelain dolls, used vinyl LPs, and other antiques cover the walls and hang from the ceiling. The chef-owner, Mara Alcamim, is always on hand and regularly checks to make sure patrons have enjoyed the food. Favorite dishes include the intriguingly named "sexy shrimp" (they're with a sauce of Brie, champagne, and caviar, accompanied by a strawberry-and-sage risotto).

  • 24. Vermelho Grill

    $$$$

    At Campo Grande's premier steak house, the kitchen takes meat very seriously. All cuts come with certification of origin, and the T-bone steaks are a specialty. The restaurant is right on Campo Grande's swankiest street, but the wooden interior, green spaces, and open barbecue create a relaxing, rustic atmosphere.

    Av. Afonso Pena 6078, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, 79040–010, Brazil

  • 25. Villa Borghese

    $$$

    The quiet cantina ambience and fantastic cuisine, closely overseen by well-known chef and owner Ana Toscana, make you feel as if you're in Italy. If you're not too concerned about your weight, try the agnello della nonna (roasted lamb shank).

    SCLS, Q. 201, Brasília, Federal District, 70232-510, Brazil
