The Best Restaurant in Brasilia, Brasilia and the West

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Brasília enjoys what is generally regarded as one of the best restaurant scenes in Brazil, behind only the much larger cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The city has by far the highest per capita income in the country, and in recent years this affluence has been reflected in the rapidly expanding range of dining options. Brasília may be relatively small, but nowhere else in the country can you find such a variety of fine regional and international restaurants and cheerful local bars and eateries all in close proximity to one another.

Oliver

$$$$ | Setor de Clubes Sul
If you're in the vicinity of the Ponte JK or the CCBB cultural center it's well worth dining at Oliver, which specializes in Mediterranean cuisine. It overlooks the golf course, giving it a more open and lighter atmosphere than is usual in the Brasília restaurant scene. Come on weekends for the paella (R$79), or try the signature cod dish Bacalhau Ze do Pipo. Musicians play in the evening.
