Our Brazilian Gaucho style cooking restaurant invites you to experience the enchanting flavors and traditions of Amazonian gastronomy, where every dish is a tribute to the lush landscapes and diverse cultures that call this region home.
A Bounty of Exotic Ingredients:
The Amazon rainforest is a treasure trove of unique and exotic ingredients that form the foundation of Amazonian cuisine. From the versatile cassava root, used to create everything from bread to tapioca pearls, to tucupi, a tangy sauce made from wild manioc, each ingredient tells a story of resourcefulness and harmony with nature.
Fish from Mighty Rivers:
Rivers are the lifeblood of the Amazon, and their bounty is reflected in the diverse array of fish found in Amazonian cuisine. Pirarucu, tambaqui, and surubim are just a few of the fish species that grace our menu, prepared using traditional techniques like grilling over an open flame or wrapping in banana leaves to infuse them with smoky aromas.
Tacacá: A Flavorful Ritual:
Tacacá, a traditional Amazonian soup, is more than just a dish—it’s a cultural experience. Made with tucupi, shrimp, jambu leaves, and spices, this aromatic soup is a sensory delight. Its unique flavor profile, with a balance of sour, spicy, and herbaceous notes, showcases the culinary diversity that arises from the blend of indigenous and local influences.
Pirão and Farofa: Comforting Staples:
Pirão, a thick and hearty porridge made from fish broth and manioc flour, offers comfort and sustenance, embodying the ingenuity of using every part of the catch. Similarly, farofa, a toasted manioc flour condiment, adds texture and flavor to many Amazonian dishes, reflecting the resourceful nature of Amazonian cuisine.
Acai Berry Elixir: Nourishment from the Forest:
Experience the energy of the Amazon through the acai berry, a small purple fruit with exceptional antioxidant properties. At our restaurant, acai bowls burst with vitality, topped with fresh fruits, granola, and honey. This indigenous superfood not only delights the taste buds but also offers a taste of the Amazon’s natural abundance.
