There are many reasons to visit the Empório Ãrabe. The place is spacious yet cozy, the service truly excellent (which is a rare thing in Brasilia, trust me) and the food both delicious and reasonably priced. Good wine list and drinks. On the busy Sunday we went, we were all well impressed and we're already planning our return. If I were to find any faults among the many dishes we tried: the lamb chops were on the chewy side, the couscous could do with a bit of salt and the falafel was overcooked. But these are just details in an overall much appreciated experience. The mixed starter plate, for exampleâ¦. To die for.Highly recommended!

The dining experience at the Avenida Paulista Pizza Pasta & Vino is a real journey through various regions of Italy. The menu, prepared, brings back the craft of Italian cuisine. The masses are made at home and the ingredients are present in Tuscany and p

The restaurant is near Paranoá Lake, in a nice neighborhood. Original pizzas, great service. The only problem we had was the air conditioning right above our heads, even after we asked for making it slower or not so cold. But it's a nice place.

My wife and I have been to vila tevere early November 2016. We ordered a carmenere house wine (61 reais), a ravioli filled with Brie (60 reais), half portion of 4 cheese gnocchi (40 reais), a cheese cake (26 reais) and brownie (22 reais). Bill was around 230 reais. Everything was delicious. I ordered the ravioli, and ate it VERY slowly as I was dreaming about Italy while savoring it. We have been to Tuscany a couple of years ago, and this was one of the closest things we could get to Italy in Brazil. Purists will say that Italy is much better. Well, it is impossible to replicate the same recipes in Brazil because of the lack of ingredients (finding tartufo in Brazil for instance is near impossible). Nevertheless, this restaurant is really something. Looking forward to come back again already!Ps: sometimes this restaurant has coupons (in websites like Groupon or peixe urbano) that make the visit more affordable. Check this out before going.

Here you will understand the meaning of "small is best". This is truely one of the best Arabic food I've ever had. One can perceive the high quality of the ingredients the cook uses, one can feel that love and caress dedicated by who is behind the pans. Every little detail, from the decoration to the olive oil served, is special and unique. I was welcomed by the owner, Mr. Isaac, arab decendent, who told me that he and his wife are always there, taking care of their precious restaurant. Don't forget to ask for "esfirra de escarola" (escarole esfirra), quibe assado (roasted kebab) and the incredible arab rice (chicken, cashew nuts, beef and arab seasonings). Outstanding food!

Trattoria da Rosario is located in a very good neighborhood in BrasÃlia, Lago Sul.The restaurant is large, nicely decorated. It accepts reservations and is open even on holidays. The food is well prepared, with fine ingredients and tends to the taste of Brazilian/Italian patrons. You may find some dishes with a French inspiration. The portions are big, and the price is high, but in the same range of other top restaurants in the city.

We had booked a large table at one end of this roomy restaurant. The building has a beautiful modern sea-themed decor and is located by Lake Paranoá. There is a beautiful view. From our table we could see the JK bridge. Although some, like me, may need the support of a GPS to find the way, once you arrive the place has plenty of parking space, both indoors and outdoors. From the garage one can reach the restaurant by elevador, which makes it easier for people with limited movement capacity. Our group ordered different dishes, and I tasted the "bolinhos de macaxeira com bacalhau" and a "moqueca de frutos do mar". While the "bolinhos" were not really tasty, as I could not feel the taste of the "bacalhau" (codfish), the "moqueca" was absolutely delicious, and I'd recommend you try it. It is quite a large dish and could be shared between 2-4 people. Sharing this dish is expected, as it would be too large a dish for a single person. For desert I had a sweet of tapioca with guava. It was a slightly hard, but definitely delicious. So, by now, you're wondering about the service, which I'm going to tell you next. I do not want to get into details, but our waiter, although very friendly and accommodating, was not properly trained. I've noticed that this is, still, an issue in BrasÃlia restaurants in general. We were well received, and, initially, chose a Brazilian wine from a quite elaborate wine list. I told the waiter the wine could be slightly cooler, but he took a while until putting the remains of the first service in an ice bucket. Then, he did not take note of all orders, and some stared receiving their orders before others. While some had ended their main courses, others were still beginning it. I gently complained and the waiter answered: "That's alright! You all are having fun while waiting for the others". Wrong answer! It made me feel like I was in being served at an overcrowded beach bar during summer holidays. Finally, we chose deserts that were being advertised on the table but, according to the waiter, were not available on Saturdays. After our complaint, he was considerate enough to make arrangements to serve us those deserts and offer them to us as house compliments. One last comment is that we found the wine list awfully expensive. Wines offered in the wine list were about 3 times more expensive than their market price. I would however suggest the Valduga sparkling wine whose price is more accommodating.

This new restaurant in BrasÃlia has experienced owners, with other restaurants in town. The salted cod served in one large piece was very good, however the dish for 2 in "lascas" - Gomes de Sá - was very, very dry. They also serve a traditional Brazilian dish, called Picadinho, and that's very good. Their "couvert" is R$ 18,00 per person, make sure you say "no" if you don't want the extra-charge. Pleasant, modern decoration.
