The restaurant has a great variety of typical dishes, especially those from the northeast part of the country. You name it, it's there. Always a great experience for foreigners and brazilians as well. Definitely worth a visit when you're in Brasília

Watch the meat - some is disappointing, One steak I had could have been used for resoling boots and I could hardly get my teeth through... More

This place cannot be missed during a visit to Brasilia. It provides great and varied northeastern Brazilian food in a very nice atmosphere and for an acceptable price.

This is a great place to taste the Northeastern Brazilian Food in Brasilia, Brazil. It's self service restaurant with a buffet and you pay per kilo. There is a lot of options to choose from and it is really hard to decide between all the different dishes with "carne de sol" (good thing the plate is huge, but keep in... More
