The Best Restaurant in Brasilia and the West, Brazil

Background Illustration for Restaurants

As the capital, Brasília attracts citizens from throughout the country as well as dignitaries from around the world. You can find a variety of regional cuisines as well as international fare. Brasília also has plenty of "per kilo" restaurants, usually decently priced cafeteria-like places where you pay according to the weight of your plate. Barring the fish dishes, the food in the Pantanal is neither as interesting nor as flavorful as that found elsewhere in the country. That said, the food is hearty, and the meals are large; affordable all-you-can-eat buffets are everywhere.

Café Daniel Briand

$ | Asa Norte Fodor's Choice
Frenchman Daniel Brand's café has become a Brasília institution since opening in 1995. As well as the croissants and coffee for breakfast, it's the sumptuous cakes and pastries that keep customers coming back for more, year after year, at all times of the day. Try to get a table in the garden. Service can be slow.
