Rancho do Dilino

We discovered a new restaurant in São João da Boa Vista in September, 2009. We liked it so much we have had lunch there four or five times since then.

We had taken a lot of photos while there on our first visit but unfortunately we lost all of them due to a computer problem. So we went back on Oct 23 and took a fresh batch of photos. That was a good excuse to have another great lunch.

Here is the Rancho do Dilino. It is open air, clean, very spacious and seats over 234 Dilino's has been open for about half a year and has developed a good sized clientele. You can either pay a flat rate and eat all you want or pay per kg.




The restaurant is located at 473 Av. Dona Gertudes in São João da Boa Vista.




There is a wide selection of foods and the menu varies daily. We have never been disappointed. It begins with a good sized salad bar.




This is followed by a wide variety of foods including Rice, Noodles and Pasta.




They are complimented with Beans, Chicken. Bean Cassarole and Chicken Cassarole.




For those who prefer, there are Vegetable Cassaroles and Beef Cassarole.




This particular day they had a large meatloaf.




There was a selection of French Fries, Fish, Pumpkin and Mashed Potatoes.




We filled our plates with our individual choices and sat down to enjoy a terrific meal.




After I ate I had a HUGE cup of Cafe Pacaembu. Notice how big the coffee cup is beside a Coca Cola can.




Seated at the next table was our friend Eliane and her family and friends. Eliane is a frequent customer of Dilinos.




Her family and friends, from right to left, Caique, Cris, Eliane, Delores, Carmrn and Neusa, all enjoyed the lunch as did we.




Following is a collection of photos of patrons and staff there for the lunch.





























Here is Marcel preparing coffee at the Coffee Bar.



















They have a good selection of beer to go with the meal.









Even as we were preparing to leave there were people waiting to be seated.














There was a selection of sweets to accompany the meal.









Marcel and Izaias bid us goodbye.


We will be back for lunch many times. It is a very pleasant atmosphere and the food is both delicious and economical.
