Porto Canoas
Restaurante Porto Canoas
The most famous restaurant inside Iguaçu National Park, offering a buffet of regional Brazilian flavors on a terrace overlooking the Iguaçu River.
Located on the Brazilian side of Iguaçu National Park, this restaurant is at the final stop of the park bus, just a few minutes' walk after finishing the waterfall trail. A park admission ticket is required to enter. Lunch is served buffet-style, with dishes rotating by the day of the week to showcase home-style cooking from across Brazil. Common items include Argentine chimichurri steak, free-range chicken, tilapia, and mushroom risotto. The terrace tables face the Iguaçu River directly. The buffet has recently been priced at around 150-164 BRL, with drinks and desserts potentially costing extra. Reservations are recommended during the peak season from September to April; when guest numbers are low, it may switch to an à la carte menu.
