1. Lelis Peixaria

4.5 based on 1 reviews
Reviewed By Resende99 - Belo Horizonte, MG
Before leaving Cuiabá we´ve decided to have a last stop at the Lelis. Good reviews and references but it was not the experience that we´ve expected. The diversity of fishes and flavoring mix all tastes making it difficult to separate the flavors and taste the true taste of the different varieties of fish at their best. In spite of that it is an experience on its own, not to be missed.

For Brazilians, the "Quatro Rodas" travel magazine ratings used to be the only reasonable reliable ratings source for restaurants and hotels before Trip Advisor. The magazine is still great and better in details relating to the true experience for every atraction in Brazil. If you are not a native Brazilian, a Lonely Planet carefull Reading combined with Quatro Rodas Reading will be a great source for narrow your options on restaurants, places to visit and hotel. Quatro Rodas rated Mahalo the BEST restaurant in Central West Brazil. We doubted and booked to check, The reservation process was kind, efficient and without exageration, cozy. Mahalo is a fancy, modest, classy, friendly and outstanding experience. You may wear black tie or jeans and polo shirt and still get EXACTLY the same treatment. The service, while top class, is not invasive. The service is quiet and discrete, not overwhelming and " brazilian". The food is really unbeatable and in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro would be three times more expensive. We can not suggest one particular dish as we had four different ones and the were all to perfection. I chose the " pintado" that is in the menu for over a decade. It tasted so fresh it seemed as if the "pintado" was caught that morning. The desserts, particularly the brazilian style ones, are delicious. Ariani, the stylish, simple and royal family speaking tone came to our table to meet us and understand how we would like our food. We know several chefs, but Ariani has been able to assemble a team to envy the best paid executives in the world. A can't miss experience in Brazil and definitely one of the best in this full of great genuine options country.

Hours are not correct on TripAdvisor. Best if you can call ahead to make sure. No reservation was needed. Careful as it's on the East side of the city so opposite direction of the airport.
We got one of the meal combos. There are only menus in Portuguese and servers only speak Portuguese. We got the meal for 2 people which was R$105. Battered fish x3 large filets, bowl of a fish stew with a yucca like root, puree of squash, rice, a tomato slices. With 2 sodas it came to a total of R125.40. It was more than I was expecting to pay for sure. Food is quite salty but that seems on par for Brazil. Lots of locals. The fish was great as well a service. Portions were large.

The name is misleading because it is not a traditional Italian restaurant considering that it is specialized in cod dishes that are typically Portuguese. My favorite is cod with cream. The cold cod salad is also very good. The service is friendly and efficient. The vine list is simple with a very limited selection.

Looking after new options for the tourists who will come to Cuiabá, a host city for the world cup 2014, SESC (System related to the commerce sector) founded the restaurant SESC MANGABA where it used to be a very famous local restaurant called Regionalíssimo. I consider it the best restaurant in town despite the price not being so attractive for an everyday meal but I go there at least twice during the month to appreciate the best local dishes in a very charming confortable ambient... if you´re passing by the city it´s a must be place and very close to SESC ARSENAL a cultural meeting-point and the food is unforgetably great.

Já havia provado a pizza em casa no serviço Delivery, mas resolvemos conferir o local. Atende mediante reserva. Estacionamento próprio em local todo murado. Provar a pizza saindo do forno é outra coisa, delicioso! Atendimento eficiente e atencioso evidenciando que valoriza o cliente. Com certeza retornaremos para provar outros pratos típicos como porpetone, polenta frita etc...

We went to this restaurant as we were staying in the Grand Odara hotel but did not go with particularly high expectations. We were however pleasantly surprised; the dinning room is quite elegant at night (although we had breakfasted in the same room this came as something of a surprise) and the two dishes we tried, prawn risotto and fish moqueca, were both very good. We seldom bother with hotel restaurants, but because the situation of this hotel precludes simply strolling around to 'suss out' nearby restaurants this turned out to be quite a good option.

This small and nice family run coffee shop located in an old house in a narrow side street is specialized in Brazilian style tapioca crepes. Tapuoca is extracted from casava roots native to the north region of Brazil. The crepes are served with a wide range of salted or sweet fillings. My favorites fillings are sun-dried salted beef with cheese, withe sauce and clarified butter and for dessert chese with coconut and condensed milk.

Good portions of hearty fare at reasonable prices. We enjoyed fresh pasta, tender portions of beef, fresh juices and unlimited access to the salad bar too. A nice little restaurant - a charming place to stop for lunch.

Barbecuing at home is a family tradition. We rarely go to "churrascarias" as a family as everybody prefers, by far, our classy home made barbecue. As an executive, I go with certain frequency for business lunchs. We had lunch at Gaucha in Cuiabá we were delighted with the top class and elegant service. For those who know "churrascaria's" service may agree that they are usually close to invasive to say the least. At Gaucha, well trained waiters constantly supervised provided to us an alegant and extremely efficient service in a busy day for them. The beef, lamb and pork as well the salad buffet were impecable. Particularly, the lamb was 5 star restaurant style. In Central West Brazil, "churrascarias" are everywhere and offer an ample range in terms of quality. Dont expect modest prices but dont expect to regret.
