The Best Restaurant in Manaus, The Amazon

Background Illustration for Restaurants

If you expect to find much regional cuisine using local, exotic ingredients in Manaus, you may be disappointed. Belém has a much more vibrant and creative eating scene, although there are enough good restaurants to keep you interested over a few days. Here expect to find rather bland, brightly lit restaurants serving much fish caught in Amazonian rivers and served with the ubiquitous farofa, the ground manioc flour that is fried in oil and served crispy and dry as a side dish.

This floating restaurant has an innovative menu (detox juices and exotic tapioca pancakes), trendy vibe, and complimentary stand-up paddleboards for diners to paddle out on the Rio Negro. It can get busy, especially around sunset, when good tunes enliven the bar with a party atmosphere. To avoid the crowds and sun's strongest rays, head for a morning coffee. Access is from Praia Dourada, where a small boat will transport you to the middle of the river.
