Belem Restaurants

Belém, like the rest of the state of Para, has a rich and long history of good eating and dining. Unlike Manaus, here you will find a lively foodie scene, with new restaurants and bars appearing regularly, and which use old ingredients in unusual ways. Paraenses take their food seriously. One excellent example is the Bosque do Remanso restaurant which uses the açaí plant, usually eaten as a dessert in the form of a sweet pulp, to make a savory-sweet farofa eaten with main courses, something you won’t find anywhere else.

  • 1. Lá em Casa

    $$

    Regional cuisine, prepared to exacting specifications, has earned Lá em Casa its stellar reputation and made it a favorite of the locals. Consider trying Belém's premier dish, pato no tucupi (duck in a yellow manioc–herb sauce served with the mildly intoxicating jambu leaf). Crabs on the half-shell covered with farofa (finely ground manioc fried in margarine) is another good choice, as is açaí sorbet for dessert. Sitting on the patio overlooking the river and fringed by tropical vines and bromeliads, you feel as if you're dining in the middle of the forest.

  • 2. Boteco das Onze

    $$ | Cidade Velha

    In the Casa das Onze Janelas, the Boteca das Onze has thick stone-and-mortar walls stylishly adorned with antique instruments. The full bar has a complete drink menu with one of the largest selections of wines in the city. The patio has a view of the garden and river. A house favorite is the seafood platter for two. The all-you-can-eat lunch buffet is a good deal, and includes dessert but not drinks. The sunset happy hour is one of the most happening in town, usually with live music.

  • 3. Cairu

    Campina

    The many regional flavors at ice-cream shop Cairu include some unique to the Amazon, such as taperebá, graviola, and cajá (cashew fruit), as well as the more familiar cocó (coconut), mango, and chocolate. Juices, sandwiches, and soft drinks are also served.

  • 4. Famiglia Sicilia

    $$ | Batista Campos

    From gnocchi to ravioli, flawless preparation of the basics distinguishes this Italian eatery from others. Everyone in town knows this, so reservations are a good idea—particularly on weekends. Be sure to try one of their 600 varieties of wine on offer. Don't leave without ordering a scrumptious dolce Paula (ice cream–and–brownie dessert).

  • 5. Palafita

    $ | Cidade Velha

    Ice-cold beers served in buckets, fruit caipirinhas, and pastéis de pato (deep-fried duck pastries) served with postcard-perfect views of the bay are why locals love Palafita. Palafita has music on weekend evenings. During the sunset happy hour, it is a great spot to mingle with locals.
