Dona Cida Restaurant
Dona Cida
A Goiás home-cooking landmark opened in 1994 in the Carmo district, serving pequi rice, dried beef and other local dishes.
Dona Cida opened in 1994 and is a leading representative of Goiás regional cooking in Pirenópolis. It is located at Rua do Carmo 22A, reached by crossing the old bridge over the Rio das Almas. À la carte choices include pequi rice, chicken stewed in its blood (galinha à cabidela), paçoca de pilão (dried beef pounded with cassava flour) and dried beef, as well as meat, river fish and seafood. The dining room seats about 240 people. There is a children's play area and live music at times, making it good for family gatherings, and portions are generous. Reviews have become mixed in recent years, and opening hours differ across platforms, so check before you go.
