La em Casa

Top choice in Belém


Around since 1972, La em Casa is an excellent choice for Pará specialties centered around Amazon fish and duck dishes, as well as Brazilian barbecued meats. Try the Pará tasting menu to sample the local flavors; if you snag a riverside table on a warm Amazonian night, you'll love being here even more.
