Brazilians adore Italian food! Italian meals are popular and in high demand due to the large population of Italian descendants in the country. Many regions of southern Brazil speak only in Italian. Many of these Italians moved to Brazil in the 1800's and yet still maintain traditions and culture from Italy even after all of this time! Sao Paulo has a significant population of Italians in the Bexiga neighborhood, and in Southern Brazil there are significant populations in Caxias do Sul, Bento Goncalves, and Garibaldi areas. These regions normally have the very best Italian food, but competition has kept the quality of food significantly higher everywhere.
Restaurants in Brazil are frequently designed to handle lunch time guests rather than the typical dinner time guests. This greatly changes how they prepare foods, and how they price their food. Many lunch time diners are looking for a very simple eating experience, with a healthy and fairly quick meal. Hot buffets offer them this by having various hot dishes ready. Pricing is generally by weight or an all-you-can-eat model, many places have both options available.
Sandwiches are regarded as a snack and not a proper meal! Therefore restaurants normally serve up hot and nutritious dishes for lunch rather than the typical North American light style lunches.
Meals are generally served and eaten on premises, but many establishments also offer take away and food delivery services. Of course the dinning establishments vary widely in appearance and offerings, including a wide variety of dishes.
For Brazilians it is very common to go back home during lunch to have their meal with their family members. This isn’t always practical, especially in the larger metropolitan areas, so restaurants have seized up this opportunity and designed a business model around catering to these people. In many of the considerably smaller cities it can be challenging to find a standard sit down and order off the menu style restaurant.
