Boy, I don't know about you but its funny with restaurants that I actually remember the name of good restaurants and forget those that are bad (but the bad memory still lingers). After travelling through South America for the last 4 months, I can honestly say that this is one of the best. the chef's imagination is to be applauded.... More

The dishes tasted very good, but it is quite expensive. The duck with apples is very beautiful, but not so tastefully. The service is fast and very good.

I've been at this restaurant for a dinner last weekend for the first time and my experience was just ok. The food was ok (nothing special), the service could be better and the place is really cool. For the price they charge you, they could offer better dishes and glasses, specially the wine ones. It's a nice place to go... More

All dishes are made by the chef and I have to tell that they are indeed very good. I wouldn't go there again myself because it is quite expensive, but I do recommend.

Contemporary tasty food that feeds body and soul. Perfect music and decoration. Located in a charmng street of "old Curitiba" the restayrant is proving year after year its unique qualities. Congratulations for Joy Perine (elected best chef of town some year ago) and the attentive staff.

We were reccomended to Zea Mais by our curitiban friends. Even though it is not bad, we were a bit disappointed. The dishes sound better on the menu. We were long expecting the duck with apples - which was ok, but not unforgetable. The place, however, is very well decorated and comfortable. A good choice for couples and groups of... More

Some people should realize that, so times, less is more. The cook has it's merits for the daring menu, but the executing is poor, the flavours are unbalanced, and some time you don't even know what you are eating!

I used to live in Curitiba and, because of relatives, keep on coming back to stay for some days. Therefore, I follow some of the moves in gastronomy here. I've known Celso Freire for a while, since Boulevard, a good restaurant in this southern capital in Brazil. Everything could be for me, then, a good reason to dine at Zea... More

Once more it proved to be a great experience, chef kindly came to our table and adjusted the sauce to please my aversion for tomatoes !!! The menu is varied, keeping in mind the brazilian aspect in almost all the dishes. A great drink with sicilian lemon is not to be missed. This does deserve to be one of the... More
