So I arrived in Cuiabá... What to do? Where to go? What to eat?
Let’s take this step by step and today’s step is summarize the city through your stomach, lol.
The city has many delicious food to offer and I
recommend some of them:
To start a really delicious day, you have to eat a
local dish called “bolo de arroz” rice cake, it is a sweet cake made with rice
(as the name says), truly regional, which I loooove, but go easy on it, people
from Brazil itself may find it different.
'Bolo de Arroz'
There is also the “bolo de queijo” (cheese cake), not
at all related with cheesecake from countries like United States. It is salty
and exists all over Brazil. Cuiaba has its own variation called “Pão de queijo”
(cheese bread) which is made with a more curated cheese, and its flavor is a
lot stronger.
It’s totally worth it to try both of them!
WHERE TO FIND:
- “Bolo de Arroz e Cia” – I do not recommend another place, this is certainly the best in town.
- Business hours: Mon-Fri: 7 am – 8 pm. Sat: 7am – 7 pm. Sun: 7am – noon
- How to get there:

If you want a typical and
local dish, you should order our fresh water fish. The most know is the “Filé
de Pintado” – boneless pieces of fried fish fillet.
"Filé de Pintado" (From: Duca's 7)
Usually it is fried, there
is also the possibility of eating it made in cubes as a stew with potatoes and
red pepper (that I don´t like too much) called “Mojica de Pintado”.
'Mojica de Pintado'
Another traditional and
tasty fish is Pacu (carefull with the bones), it is usually served roasted.
'Pacu assado'
The first one served fried
is the tastiest.
There are a lot of places
and here are some of them, in order of preference:
Where to eat fish:
- Peixaria Popular:
- Peixaria Nativa
- Só pêra Restaurante –
- Restaurante Regionalissimo – not only fish but many typical food
- Lélis Peixaria – the most sofisticated one with a higher price
- Duca's 7 Restaurante
For those who are in love
with meat, please, do not forget to tray one of the most delicious
“Churrascarias” with many many varieties of meat cuts.
'Picanha'
This is how it works: The
price is “all you can eat buffet” (just like a buffet in Las Vegas) including
all these meat cuts, served randomly at your table, cutted in front of you, the
piece that most pleases you. There are also, in the buffet table, salads, pasta
and desert (this last one is included in most of the Churrascarias.
Here are some of them:
- Churrascaria Gaúcha
- http://www.gauchacuiaba.com.br/
- http://www.guiamais.com.br/local/churrascaria+gaucha-churrascarias-cuiaba-mt-1457125-6
- Churrascaria Recanto Gaúcho – simple, cosy, but delicious
- Churrascaria Boi Grill
· I don’t recommend going to a Churrascaria at dinner. Although the price is cheaper, it’s simply impossible
to resist to all these kinds of meat cuts, and fine food but the result in the
other day may be a unnecessary indisposition.
To those who enjoy checking
out the diversity, one great place to go besides the mall is the “Praça
Popular” or Popular Square, with many restaurants, including international
food, such as:
·
