Moinho do Vale
Restaurante Moinho do Vale
A long-established German restaurant on the banks of the Itajaí-Açu River, opened in 1971 and famous for its stuffed duck, said to be the best in town.
Opened in 1971 on the banks of the Itajaí-Açu River in the Ponta Aguda district, the restaurant is housed in a building shaped like a mill. The menu offers nearly a hundred traditional German and international dishes. The most famous is the 'Blumenau-style' stuffed duck, served with apple purée, sweet-and-sour red cabbage and mashed potatoes. Salted pork knuckle, smoked pork chops and rustic sausages are also popular. It holds a rating of about 4.7 on both Tripadvisor and Google. On weekends, reservations can be made by phone. One portion of stuffed duck costs about R$130 and is ideal to share between two. It is just across the bridge from the city centre.
