As one of the major centers of industry and commerce in Brazil, Curitiba has a wide variety of dining and lodging options that caters to hurried and demanding business travelers. The Santa Felicidade neighborhood has carved a name as the place to go for affordable restaurants that serve locally influenced Italian cuisine.
Recommended for those on a budget, Baviera is essentially a pizzeria, but the menu also includes Brazilian-style steak (thin-cut fillet, usually rare), grilled chicken, and hamburgers, with most dishes serving two. The restaurant, in the basement of an imposing house on a hillside, has an Italian cantina look, with wine barrels at the entrance, rustic wood furniture, and candlelighted tables.
