Rio de Janeiro, a cosmopolitan city, boasts high-end French and Continental restaurants, while the outskirts of Curitiba, in the south, are home to some of the best churrascarias, where an array of meats is cooked to order, resulting in an overwhelming feast. In the central western region, Campo Grande is gaining attention for its Okinawan-inspired soba noodles, a specialty that the author unfortunately missed due to a flight delay.
