Brasilia Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Brasilia
Renowned for its modernist lines and futuristic design, Brasilia is a study in urban planning and the only city built in the 20th century to be counted among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Where only five years before its inception there was desert, now there are innovative buildings and imaginative monuments, ranging from the hyperboloid Cathedral of Brasilia to the lunar-esque Complexo Cultural da Republica to the glass-box Palacio da Alvorada.

Mangai is a great restaurant in Brasilia, they serve traditional food from de northeast of Brazil! The restaurant has a beautiful decoration a generous self-service buffet, it's difficult to eat a small meal there!

Fantastic shrimp dishes and high quality tropical cocktails. This is a huge restaurant which is very popular. Tons of attentive staff everywhere. Delicious seafood but they do have other options (chicken, steak, salad) available for kids. For people who are not big shrimp eaters - you will be pleasantly surprised. Signature dish is the International Shrimp. Especially great service by Genilson.

A Darling friend recommended this restaurant but they did not open on Sunday. I left Brasilia like missing something. But this time I did the lesson well.
The place is very sophisticated. Nice light and service.
Not cheap but I paid with great joy because it worth every penny.
Starter - crunchy pancetta. The flavour was very interesting. But they lacked one thing: it was not crunchy at all. So not a good starter
First plate - ceviche crioulo simply the BEST EVER MEGA BLASTER CEVICHE IN THE WORLD! The taste is just gorgeous! Definitely a marvellous delightful sensorial experience!
Second dish - Porquito. Very nice combination of flavour. Pork did go very well with tamarind sauce! Wow!
Dessert - cupuaçu sorbet with mouse of passion fruit and biscuit of açaí! Just majestic flavour!
Well I cannot wait to go back! What are you waiting for?

Full of table and chairs, this Brazilian Self-service restaurante has a great Brazilian Barbecue. All foods are well prepared and tastes good! But if ou like Brazilian barbecue ou will love this place. Many kinds of meat, chicken, steaks, lamb to choose. It's not cheap, but it worth the price. You pay what you serve. Drinks and desserts are charged separate from foods.

The place looks unpretentious and unassuming, but it's surprisingly clean (for Brazilian standards) and the staff really knows how to wait on customers. Even though it was quite crowded when I visited, my juice was prepared after only a couple of minutes and it tasted really delicious. I can't say anything about snacks, though they also looked good.

It was a pleasure to eat there. We ate the Mediterranean shrimp and the Greek shrimp. Two dishes for five people, and it was more than enough! Delicious food, and excellent service from the waiter Daniel.

Reviewed By P R - Limerick, Ireland
This restaurant has a good location on the lake. New restaurant nicely decorated but very large
The menu had a huge range of shrimp dishes in particular. Appetisers and mains portions are huge. Two appetisers and one main and we couldn't finish it all between three of us
So we ordered a beef dish - fine and an octopus appetiser -I have had better. The main we just had to have shrimp. But we had to wade through the shrimp dishes that contained cheese or even multiple cheeses. So we landed in shrimp with leek. It was fine
A bottle of Chilean wine and beers - we were happy but I guess this is faint praise. However this was one of our better meals in Brazil
