Mangai

Brasília


This northeastern por-quilo restaurant is a culinary experience like no other. An assembly line of tempting creative dishes will totally overwhelm you – and that's just the salad section. The space itself is gargantuan and full of Brazilian character. It’s down by the Ponte JK and gets very busy at lunch.
