Don't be guiri!
Mercearia Bresser Av Sete Septembro 5831 (cross with Rua Herculano)
Big pizza from R $ 40-70 (16-28 €)
Although few people know Curitiba, it is not a small town but quite the opposite. It is a fantastic city, safe, clean, tidy, with a museum of Contemporary Art designed by renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer (“Eye”), a great theater, gorgeus botanical gardens and many parks.
Amongst all these tourist visits, its restaurants do not clash at all, quite the opposite. Prices can become exorbitant sometimes, that’s true, but food is great, service is always impeccable, and design is enviable.
The Mercearia Bresser is a perfect example of this. Although it is a pizzeria, the design is like a big kitchen with antique touches, from the outside you can see their spotless kitchen, the service is fantastic (they only have the menu in Portuguese, but if you have any doubt about an ingredient or plate, they bring a sample of it to your table), pizzas are first class and prices are European.
If you ask for a large pizza, you can always choose two flavors (paying the most expensive, of course). Here or elsewhere, try someday Catupiry pizza, which contains this creamy cheese “registered” in Brazil. And do not miss their Mozzarella di Buffala! If you like to try new beers, here you can take the special Chop Brahma.
