Mirante Tapiocaria & Crepiocaria

Pará


You've seen tapioca at your hotel breakfast – those spongy white crepes served with butter – but never like the creations served at this popular outdoor kiosk. Run by the same family as Restaurante Piracema, tapiocas here come in all shapes and flavors, from sweet to savory, and are served at tables set up on the plaza with river views.
