Great restaurant! As Americans in Brazil, we were looking for a place to try some local cuisine…read morefor luncH. Found Panela de Barro and were very pleased. Super service, very friendly and helpful staff to guide us through the menu with our almost non-existent portugese. The owner made sure everything was right for us. The restaurant was very clean and upscale but the prices were very reasonable. We sat out back in the garden area. Most of our group had grilled chicken or steaks with local vegetables. I had the traditional lunch buffet, which was excellent. We would have come back the next day, but the restaurant is closed on Sunday's. We all thought it was one of the best meals we had in Brazil.
