We originally planned to go to Vo Bertila across the street. That restaurant was closed, but we are…read moreso happy we found Vo Luis instead! The food was all delicious, the atmosphere was amazing and so peaceful. The wait staff were all polite and friendly. Prices in general were really good for Foz do Iguaçu, and for Brazil generally. For Italian food of this quality in Brazil, this was a very competitive price. And the menu was very comprehensive, with lots of great options - so many things we wanted to try! There were plenty of vegetarian options and options for lactose-free and gluten-free diets, so something for everyone.
We wound up eating at this restaurant twice during our stay in For do Iguaçu. They bring complementary bread to the table right when you sit down, which was delicious and something that isn't too common in Brazil. The first time we tried the calzone de frango. It is supposed to serve four, but it serves two very hungry people just as well, with space for dessert. The desserts are so delicious. The creme brûlée was heavenly. And the apple crumble was just the right balance of sweet and tangy, with perfect homemade ice cream on top.
Our second night we ordered three entrees. The pumpkin tortellini (listed on menu as tortellini, but more resembled ravioli in my opinion) was savory and delightful, a mix of flavors that I hadn't seen before. The vegetable gnocchi was pretty good, with species and vegetables that tasted refreshing and not overly intense or rich. Not the best gnocchi I've had in Brazil, but certainly satisfying. The tortellini was a smaller dish, more of a light dinner. The gnocchi was larger, better if you have a bigger appetite. The third entree was a pizza with marguerite on half and frango com catupiry on the other half. The marguerite was lovely, but the frango com catupiry's taste was too strong. We would have preferred a whole pizza marguerite because it was a soft flavor, not too much, perfectly satisfying. The frango was too rich.
Overall, we're very happy that we dined at this restaurant twice. If we were in town longer, we definitely would have gone again. If we lived in Foz, this would be a regular place for us to eat.
We definitely recommend this restaurant. Whether you are here for a couple of days, or longer, it's worth stopping here for a nice dinner. You won't regret it.
