Janaina also told me, those Outlets for Pao de Queijo are now all over Brazil, even the national bread has become a fast food chain. well, thats how it is these days, but don't forget to get a good cup of braz. Coffee...thanks Jana food in general is easy to get and always very tasty, you also can trust the praia vendors..if they would sell bad food, they ould sell there livelyhood..of course some tummies are a lil tender and need time to get used to foreign food...sometimes, Imodium comes handy
Chipa Bread...chiperias, is a stable food from Paraguay. should you be in the Country, these Street Vendors will catch your interest anyway. its very safe to eat, dont worry and it is yummy original paraguayen cheese, strach, milk and corn are the incredience ...goes well with any drink, especiallt with coffee, softdrinks and of course...terere, cold mate tea.have a look at the paraguayen recipes

I´ll try to list here some of the special foods I tried:Fricasé (with Llama) in BoliviaCui (guinea pig) in Bolivia or PeruApi (a maiz drink) in BoliviaCeviche (cool fish or seafood in lemon sauce) PeruLomo saltado (Peru) or Pique Macho (Bolivia) = beef and sausage with potatoes and onions and a hot tomato saucemariscos = all kind of Seafood in Peru or ChilePisco Sour (Peru and Chile.....they are still discussing where the drink is originally from....the Pisco is surely from Peru, there is the town and teh region of Pisco, the cocktail might be first invented in Chile.....at least Chilean have been more successfully in making the cocktail famous worldwide)Chicha (morada) in Peru, another maiz drink, alcoholic and unalcoholicof course bife = beef....most famous from Argentina, but there is also great beef from Bolivia or Uruguay (and more countries)Papa a la Huancaina (Peru) potatoes...
Brazilian cooking tended to involve a liberal use of salt. If you are on a low sodium diet, this might be something to think about. Pao de Quejo (Cheese Bread) - a fantastic treat for any time of day or night.Pasteles - delicio!
Caroline Cafe in Jardim BotanicoThey have the best of everything, food, service, ambiance! Truly a very nice place to have dinner. Everything they have is great. I eat here at least a few times while I am on vacation!
favorite food dish was the 'arepas'. It looks and is about the size of a bisquit and is made of corn. they fill it with meats, cheeses, you name it! Also they make great cheeses that you can purchase at local panaderias.
I do NOT recommend the restaurants. If you are just there on vacation, I guess the best place to eat would be in the hotels. I am guessing they would have the most sanitary conditions. Of the few restaurants I went to, we found insects fried in with our food. At one restaurant there was only one item on the menu and it was supposed to be the best tasting restaurant in the town. A friend found a toe nail in her spaghetti at another restaurant.If you do decide to eat at the restaurants, they are relatively cheap. Hmmmm...Fried Flies?
