Restaurants in Curitiba - expanding the search

Since the weather in Curitiba is cold and rainy during a sizable part of the year, there is a huge amount of choices of places to go for eating and drinking. A few suggestions:

• Mangiare Felice. An Italian restaurant ("cantina italiana") which can accomodate large groups and serves big portions.
• A Pamphylia. Italian restaurant installed in an old house which has several dishes of pasta+steak. It sells a Chilean wine called "Theorema" so, in Portuguese, you could spend the night drinking wine and then claim that you were at work "proving several theorems".
• Armazém 71 Good food, a copious wine list.
• Yellow Dog Beer Store (R. Prof. João Doetzer, 289 - loja 01 - Jardim das Américas). This place is located near to the conference venue and is identified on the map. Several beers on tap from smaller breweries.
• Baraquias Lebanese food with a more contemporary feel, has several stores around the city. Serves
• Restaurante Anarco (Only at lunch time). Pasta, steak and sea food, good wine list. This restaurant is located at the Mercado Municipal, which itself deserves a visit.
• Azuki. Japanese restaurant with "kaiten sushi".
• The crab season is open, and some suggestions may be found here.
• Depending on how deep your pocket is, there are more fancy options such as Restaurante Manu, of Chef Manu Buffara; Aizu, a contemporary japansese restaurant, and Restaurante Durski, an international / eastern european restaurant with one of the best wine lists in Brazil.
