3 Best Restaurants 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.

Divino Fogão

$$
This good value buffet in the Norte Sul shopping mall is the place to come for hearty food from Minas Gerais.

Feitiço Mineiro

$$ | Asa Norte

Live Brazilian music, from bossa nova to contemporary, is a nightly feature at this restaurant. But the comida mineira (food from the state of Minas Gerais) is the best reason to come. One of the most popular dishes is the costelinha ao Véio Chico (fried pork ribs with cassava). At lunch, you can help yourself from a large buffet for a set price. The owners run a popular lounge next door, Bar do Feitiço.

Pizzaria Margherita

$$

The pizzas here come with thin crusts, generous servings of mozzarella, and fresh ingredients, but it's the candlelit ambience of the restaurant and garden that have made it one of the most popular eateries in town.
