Strategic Plate Loading
Start with lighter items like salads and vegetables to maximize space for more substantial dishes. Consider the density of each food when estimating weight and cost.
Sauce Selection
Sample small amounts of sauces before committing to a large serving. Brazilians love experimenting with flavours, so use the variety to enhance your chosen foods.
Combine Regional Delights
Explore different regional dishes. Try pairing a bite of Bahian Moqueca with rice and a side salad for a balanced flavour experience.
Watch Out for the Weight
Be mindful of heavier items, like starches or breaded foods. A little can add up quickly in weight and cost. Ask about prices per kilo or gram.
