Iguazu is not famous for it’s food, however there are some great options here for the hungry traveler. Of special note is La Mamma (see below) for great Italian food and the various restaurants blending Argentine and Brazilian cuisine. You have to stop here on your Brazilian vacation, so you may as well enjoy the food!
By far the best bang for your buck in Puerto Iguazú (and probably in Foz too)! This small little pasta bar, originally a take-out only place, has set up four tables on the sidewalk outside the store and serves up hearty portions of delicious, fresh, homemade pastas and sauces at bargain prices! They also make excellent empanadas. The staff are extremely friendly and cheerful and service is great. The cannelloni are excellent!
Regular pastas R$7.50 or AR$15/kilo; stuffed pastas R$8.50 or AR$17/kilo.
Avenida Misiones & Bompland.
If you’re craving BBQ, this is one of the best budget options for parrilla in town. The set menus are a great bargain too! You certainly won’t lack for meat at this restaurant!
Entrees from R$5 or AR$10.
Avenida Córdoba, 106.
This great little place serves up delicious, filling, and healthy sandwiches (on whole wheat, if you like), yummy snacks like pão de queijo stuffed with chicken and caitupiry, and great smoothies and juices, all at very reasonable prices! Great for a quick snack or a cheap meal. A travelers haven.
Meals from under R$15 or AR$30.
