Curitiban cuisine showcases a fusion of European and Brazilian flavors, emphasizing hearty ingredients and slow-cooked dishes. Expect a blend of savory, smoky, and subtly sweet tastes.
Barreado
A slow-cooked beef stew, traditionally prepared in a clay pot sealed with cassava flour. The beef is cooked for many hours until it's incredibly tender and flavorful, often served with rice, farofa (toasted cassava flour), and bananas.
Pierogi
A Polish influence, these dumplings are typically filled with savory fillings such as potato, cheese, sauerkraut, or meat. They are often boiled or pan-fried and served with sour cream or caramelized onions.
Carne de Onça
Translating to 'jaguar meat,' this dish is actually raw ground beef mixed with onions, spices, and olive oil, served on bread. It's a Curitiban specialty, similar to steak tartare.
Sopa de Agnolini
A comforting soup featuring small, ring-shaped pasta (agnolini) in a chicken or beef broth. This Italian-inspired dish is often enriched with vegetables and herbs.
Pinhão
Araucaria nuts are a staple of the Parana region. Pinhão can be boiled, roasted, or used in savory dishes. They have a distinct nutty flavor and are often enjoyed during the winter months.
