Flor de Ipê
Restaurante Flor de Ipê
A Goiás restaurant in a colonial house on the Vermelho River, serving clay-pot dishes in a courtyard just steps from Cora Coralina's former home.
Located at No. 32 Boa Vista Square (through the back entrance), this restaurant occupies a colonial-era house on the Vermelho River, and its garden is widely praised. Lunch is a fixed-price buffet, with clay pots of braised beef, free-range chicken, pequi rice and chicken rice. Desserts follow old recipes, including the original recipe from the poet Cora Coralina. In the evening, the menu is ordered à la carte, with dishes such as roof-tile-grilled fish and pot-roasted pork ribs. During the 2025 film festival, the buffet cost about R$70 per person, and children under nine ate free. Some reviews note limited meat choices and high prices. Walkable from the old town square.
