The South Restaurants

Churrasco (slow-grilled and -roasted meat), one of the most famous foods of Brazil, originated in Rio Grande do Sul. But the cuisine is eclectic here in cowboy country, and rice and beans sit on southern tables beside Italian and German dishes, thanks to the South's many European immigrants. Look for barreado, a dish from coastal Paraná made by stewing beef, bacon, potatoes, and spices for hours in a clay pot made airtight with moistened manioc flour. Café colonial is the elaborate 5 pm tea—with breads, pies, and German kuchen—popular among the Germans in the South.

  • 1. Casa di Pietro

    $$ | Centro

    This Italian cantina–style restaurant has an excellent prix-fixe salad-and-soup buffet at dinner. Surefire soup choices include the cappelletti—best topped with grated Parmesan cheese—and the Serrano (a local vegetable soup). If this light fare doesn't suit you, opt for the grilled beef directly from the grill.

  • 2. Gasthof Edelweiss

    $$$$ | Lago Negro

    With a veranda that overlooks nearby pine trees and gardens, this German restaurant creates a relaxing ambience that perfectly complements its traditional offerings such as duck à la viennese (with an orange-flavor cream sauce)—the house specialty. Some tables are in the wine cellar, which has more than 1,000 bottles.

  • 3. Le Petit Clos

    $$$$

    With fireplaces in the dining rooms and sheepskin rugs on the chairs, the family-run, Alpine-style Le Petit Clos is one for the winter, when families tuck into the house speciality: fondue. The excellent cheese fondue, with chunks of bread and potatoes for dipping, trumps the beef fondue, served with a fussy selection of more than a dozen disappointing sauces. The chocolate fondue, served with fruits, makes for a gluttonous end to the evening. And if that all sounds too heavy, opt for one of the fish dishes instead.
