Brazilians adore Italian food! Italian meals are popular and in great demand due to the large population of Italian descendants in the country. Many areas of southern Brazil converse only in Italian. Most of these Italians traveled to Brazil in the 1800's and yet still maintain traditions and culture from Italy even after all of these generations! Sao Paulo has a huge population of Italians in the Bexiga neighborhood, and in Southern Brazil there are large populations in Caxias do Sul, Bento Goncalves, and Garibaldi areas. These areas usually have the finest Italian food, but competition has maintained the quality of food significantly higher everywhere.
Restaurants in Brazil are typically setup to handle lunch time customers rather than the typical dinner time customers. This significantly changes how they serve meals, and how they price dishes. Many lunch time diners are looking for a very casual eating experience, with a hearty and relatively quick meal. Hot buffets offer them this by having multiple hot dishes ready. Pricing is usually by weight or an all-you-can-eat model, most places have both options available.
Sandwiches are regarded as a snack and not a proper meal! Therefore restaurants commonly serve up hot and healthy dishes for lunch in lieu of the typical North American small style lunches.
Meals are normally served and eaten on premises, but many establishments also offer take away and food delivery services. Of course the dinning establishments vary greatly in appearance and offerings, including a wide variety of cuisines.
For Brazilians it is very prevalent to go back home for lunch to have their meal with their family members. This isn’t always practical, particularly in the larger cities, so restaurants have used this opportunity and designed a business around catering to these individuals. In many of the smaller cities it can be difficult to find a conventional sit down and order off the menu style eatery.
