The Best Restaurant in Belem, The Amazon

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.
