Manoella Buffara is one of Curitiba's hottest chefs and her pedigree backs up her impressive creations, which appear on a nightly-changing tasting menu that relies heavily on regional farm cooperatives and the restaurant's own organic garden.
'Manu' – short for Manoella – counts stints in two of the world's most famous kitchens, Noma (Copenhagen) and Alinea (Chicago), as the inspiration behind her ever-evolving dishes, which often get unorthodox pairings with outside-the-box wines, organic juices and craft beer. This is the south's only spot where gourmands can gather over subtle culinary feats – it's the equivalent of a Michelin-starred meal for a lot less than you would pay elsewhere. Reservations essential.
