Eating well is part of any trip to Pirenópolis. The food scene is concentrated in the historic centre, above all on Rua do Rosário — the so-called Rua do Lazer (“leisure street”) — and Rua Aurora, where tables spill onto the cobbled pavements in the late afternoon. There are also options on Rua Direita, in the Carmo district and at guesthouses and attractions in the countryside.
What to consider
- Days and hours vary. Many places are busiest on weekends and public holidays and may close on some weekdays. Check beforehand.
- Booking in high season. During the Festa do Divino, long holiday weekends and festivals, book or arrive early.
- Payment. Ask which methods are accepted; at fairs and stalls, having Pix (Brazil’s instant payment system) or cash in reais (BRL) helps.
- Dietary restrictions. The town has vegetarian options, but mention your restriction when ordering.
What to try
Goiás cooking shows up in dishes with pequi (a strongly flavoured fruit of the cerrado), empadão goiano (a savoury pie), galinhada (chicken and rice) and homemade sweets. To understand what to order and where, read where to eat in Pirenópolis.
