Brazilians adore Italian food! Italian meals are popular and in very high demand due to the large population of Italian descendants in the country. Many regions of southern Brazil converse only in Italian. Many of these Italians traveled to Brazil in the 1800's and yet still maintain customs and culture from Italy even after all of these years! Sao Paulo has a huge population of Italians in the Bexiga neighborhood, and in Southern Brazil there are huge populations in Caxias do Sul, Bento Goncalves, and Garibaldi areas. These regions often have the very best Italian food, but competition has maintained the quality of food significantly higher everywhere.
Restaurants in Brazil are typically designed to handle lunch time guests rather than the typical dinner time customers. This drastically changes how they prepare dishes, and how they price their dishes. Many lunch time diners are looking for a very simple eating experience, with a healthy and relatively quick meal. Hot buffets offer them this by having numerous hot dishes ready. Pricing is usually by weight or an all-you-can-eat model, most places have both options available.
Sandwiches are thought of as a snack and not a proper meal! Therefore restaurants commonly serve up hot and hearty dishes for lunch rather than the typical North American small style lunches.
Meals are ordinarily served and consumed on premises, but many restaurants also offer take away and food delivery services. Of course the dinning establishments vary greatly in appearance and offerings, including a wide variety of foods.
For Brazilians it is very common to return home for lunch to have their meal with their loved ones. This isn’t always possible, particularly in the larger cities, so restaurants have taken up the slack and designed a business model around catering to these individuals. In many of the considerably smaller cities it can be difficult to find a everyday sit down and order off the menu style business.
