Benja Gastronomia — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata de Foz do Iguaçu

We had an amazing evening! The server spoke English and really went above and beyond to make sure my kids and us not only felt welcome but like family! This was really appreciated as my daughter is super shy and by the end of the evening she was saying they were best friends! We all ordered shakes for drinks and they were great! The strawberry was really good, but the lemon (made with gelato) was literally the best lemon shake I’ve ever had! I would come back to Brazil just for this shake! Food- My son got lasagna which he said was amazing (large serving size also). It takes a while to cook this which they told us in advance so that was appreciated. My daughter got spaghetti with meat sauce (kids meal) and she said it was really good. It was also a big portion size. My husband and I ordered fried shrimp and tacos to share. The sauces and time put into the dishes is really apparent. The tacos are different than “American “ tacos, but I love trying new things. The shells were harder (not bad just different) which did make it a little hard to eat without the tacos falling apart. However, this didn’t stop me and again they were really good. Dessert- We had apple pie, brownie, and cheesecake for dessert. My daughter had issues with the sauce on the cheesecake only bc she is really picky and likes just plain cheesecake. I tasted the sauce and it tasted delicious so don’t let my picky daughter discourage you. Thanks for a wonderful evening and taking such...

Entirely convinced. This place has it all. Absolutely amazing, wholesome and delicious breakfast. Came back for dinner and desert the next day and it blew every other restaurant we had been too in Brazil out of the water. Don’t let the name cafe fool you! This is a 1st class culinary restaurant delight. The chef deserves an award. The passion fruit mash is to die for. The service is impeccable. Top stars for the waiters too! The deserts are super detailed and paired so well with the mini fruits. Highly...

My friend and I ordered the eggplant gratin, the steak tartare, and the Caesar salad. Our servers were really nice and friendly, but unfortunately, the food was basically inedible. We each ate one or two bites of each thing before giving up - everything was way too salty and chewy, and we worried about food poisoning from the steak tartare (we were both fine in the end, but we ate very little). Sorry to say that I would avoid this place because the servers really were nice, but better to spend your...
