Restaurants in Brasilia

Brasilia

Every year, Veja, the most important weekly magazine in Brazil, publishes a special edition about restaurants in the major Brazilian cities (read more about restaurants in Recife and restaurants in Fortaleza). Take a look at the current list of the best restaurants in Brasilia.

Because the average income of Brasilia residents is above average for Brazilian standards, many well known chefs from the cities with more tradicional gastronomy, such as Sao Paulo and Recife, are opening business here in the Federal capital.

Below, a list of the best restaurants in 2005, according to Veja.

When available, a link to the restaurant website is provided.
