Palmas, Brazil
Cara de Pastel
Cara de Pastel operates out of Palmas, Tocantins, Brazil's planned inland capital and one of the country's youngest cities. The name signals pastel culture — Brazil's ubiquitous fried pastry tradition — rooted in street-market sourcing rather than fine-dining convention. For visitors building a picture of interior Brazilian eating, it anchors that conversation in Palmas's own food identity.
