"Regina’s, located in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, offers a slice of Brazil that’s quickly become a local favorite. Reservations are highly recommended, as this charming spot is almost always booked. Upon arrival, guests pay a flat fee and enjoy a family-style meal in the owner’s backyard, surrounding a massive outdoor iron-topped stove. The diverse menu features Brazilian staples such as cheese bread, soups, roast chicken, fish stew, and feijao tropeiro (pink beans mixed with sausage, bacon, collard greens, and eggs). Save room for dessert, as the traditional pudim (caramel flan) from the dessert buffet is a must-try, best enjoyed with a strong cup of cafezinho (sweet Brazilian black coffee)." - Juliana Accioly
