Jiquitaia

Jiquitaia

"If you're looking for typical homemade Brazilian cuisine prepared with quality ingredients, then this is the perfect place! Jiquitaia occupies a charming 1950s house surrounded by greenery, with a large, elegantly decorated dining room, where a plethora of wood and beautiful photos on the walls provide the decorative backdrop. Here, chef Marcelo Corrêa Bastos conjures up comforting traditional cuisine that feeds body and soul. During the working week, the playful “executive” menu is complemented by a concise menu featuring delicacies such as “coxinhas de frango caipira” (deep-fried dough filled with chicken), fish “moqueca” with shrimp, and grilled fish of the day served with a tasty pirão porridge. It's also worth noting that Jiquitaia also has a superb array of cachaças from across Brazil which have been carefully selected by the owner." - Michelin Inspector
