Restaurant Y Menu & Review
At Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel, Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil
Intimate creative dining room; tasting-menu led
Y is Cataratas' destination kitchen and the meal that justifies staying inside the park after the day trippers leave. Chef Luiz Filipe Souza, who holds two Michelin stars at Evvai in São Paulo, reinterprets Brazil by region with playful technique rather than hotel-buffet safety. The name comes from Guarani "YY" for water, nodding to the falls and the Triple Border. Expect manioc, cupuaçu, açaí and Atlantic Forest botanicals across a nine-course tasting or individual plates, with drinks that carry the same ingredient logic. This is not a Michelin-starred hotel restaurant; treat it as chef-driven Brazilian cooking in the only dining room with this address.
Menu Highlights
- Nine-course tasting built on Brazilian regional produce
- Manioc, cupuaçu and açaí across starters and desserts
- À la carte option for shorter evenings
- Cocktails and wines paired to Atlantic Forest botanicals
Reservation Tip
Book dinner when you confirm the room in peak months; limited seating and park-captive demand fill Y fast.
