Frommer's Review

The mother of all kilo restaurants, Couve Flor is where it all started in the mid-'80s. Even now that the system has been widely adopted, Couve Flor still goes the extra mile. The menu is truly astonishing with at least 40 dishes to choose from and includes elaborate and interesting choices such as rabbit stew, fish moqueca, fresh pasta, at least 20 different kinds of salads, and grilled meats. The buffet even offers vegetarian choices such as stroganoff made with soybean meat. In the evenings Couve Flor also serves a selection of pizzas from a wood-burning oven and the weekend lunch buffet is legendary with even more dishes and a choice of 15 desserts. The beauty of the kilo system is that you can have a bite of as many dishes as strike your fancy.
