Restaurants in Chapada dos Veadeiros
Goiás cuisine generally consists of cassava, corn, game and savanna fruits. A traditional dish here is pequi, served with galinhada or with rice. But remember, when you order this dish, not to bite the pit of the pequi, because if you do, your tongue might get covered with thorns. You must try the delectable bitter palm sticks: camargo and guariroba. Also sample curau - sweet corn parcels, and a variety of other corn dishes.
While the local cuisine in Chapada dos Veadeiros uses a lot of fish and meat, you will find plenty of vegetarian food here too.
