Maria e o Boi

Local cuisineLocals' pick

Chef Vanessa Rocha researches regional Brazilian recipes and cooks them with a modern hand: barreado pastéis from Paraná, a Rio-style peito de boi "à Oswaldo (quase) Aranha", slow-roasted cupim with tapioca polenta. MICHELIN gives it a Bib Gourmand for value.
