Top 5 / Latin America

Whether you’re looking for fine dining or affordable eats, you can find it all in Curitiba, Brazil. Here are the best restaurants to sample next time you’re in town.

 

Barolo Trattoria

While Brazilian food is fantastic, the locals around here also have a knack for crafting amazing Italian treats. Barolo Trattoria is far and away the most popular restaurant in town and for good reason. The filetto cremona con ravioli is a favorite, but you can’t really go wrong no matter what you choose.

 

Badida

Badida is the place to go for a fine-dining atmosphere and excellent Brazilian meats. The lamb is superb, but the steaks are where the restaurant truly shines. It can get a little hectic inside, so book yourself a table in advance.

 

Poco Tapas

Fans of molecular gastronomy will be delighted with Poco Tapas. Every meal here is a surprise and often even more delicious than you probably expect. It’s a bit costly, but it’s certainly worth a try if you’re prepared to throw down the money.

 

Quintana

Quintana is a bit of old school charm nestled within the city. The chef designs a new buffet menu on a regular basis and the outdoor garden seating makes it a cozy and relaxing place to dine during the day. The vegetarian options are hearty and healthy and full of taste.

 

Madero Batel

If you’re craving the taste of home, look no further than Madero Batel. They cook some of the best steaks and burgers in town. The rustic design and wooden tables make for a warm atmosphere that will remind you of home.
