Brazilian flavor and cultural flair come together perfectly in Foz do Iguaçu’s dinner shows. In my decades of European travels, I rarely find dinner entertainment this authentic and engaging. The standout is Rafain Dinner Show, where you’ll feast on perfectly grilled meats while watching genuine South American folk performances – all guided by knowledgeable locals over a relaxed 4-hour evening.
I’m especially fond of the Rafain Palace experience. Their extensive buffet captures real Brazilian cooking, and the traditional dance performances are refreshingly un-touristy. For comfort and convenience, the Steakhouse Show Package includes hotel pickup, which I always appreciate in a new city.
The crown jewel for elegant dining is the Private Dinner Show at Belmond Hotel Cataratas. While pricier, its 5-star service and intimate setting make it worth every penny.
