Restaurant Y

Discover one of the best restaurants in Brazil moments away from the Iguassu Falls. Our name refers to the Guarani word for water, as well as the confluence of the region’s two rivers and the tri-border area between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Restaurant Y brings together local ingredients and traditional techniques from across the country to create dishes inspired by the rainforest.

Accessible through a panoramic terrace, the restaurant boasts spectacular views of the falls and the surrounding UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon entering – with the ambient sound of the cascading water still discernible – discover a menu that celebrates the richness of rainforest ingredients and the country's most iconic dishes. From cupuaçu to coxinha, moqueca to tucupi, each dish offers a taste of Brazil’s culinary heritage, elevated to its finest form.

Y is helmed by Executive Chef Luiz Filipe Souza, a star of the national gastronomic scene for over a decade, with a passion for Brazilian ingredients while exploring classic Italian influences. His award-winning knowledge shapes a menu that invites diners on an imaginative journey through the country’s regions.
