"Awesome restaurant inside the Manauara Shopping located at Manaus Amazonas! Moquém do Banzeiro: the best Amazonian cuisine in Manaus · Recipes prepared over hot coals are the attraction of the restaurant, which opened in 2016."

"One of the best meals i had in Manaus, the fish was perfect and so was the desert. Very warm staff members helped me with my choices as well. I found the prices reasonable given the quality of the dishes. (They also have an English menu which helped)"
Sabri Kürüm
"Excellent choice for tasty local food. Staff was a bit overwhelmed by our group (20 people), so service was not 💯, but friendly and courteous."
