Juanita Voucher R$250 + Free Gift | Bonito-MS

The right value to order the pacu, the drink and dessert without looking at the price even once.

Summary of what’s included: R$250 credit valid for food, drinks (including alcohol) and dessert, during lunch and dinner hours, plus a gift of 1 portion of Moqueca Fritter for Bonitour customers.

There’s a kind of traveler who goes to Juanita knowing exactly what they want: grilled pacu, a good drink and Chico Balanceado for dessert at the end. The Juanita Voucher R$250 was designed for that profile—comfortable coverage for a complete meal for two, without needing to calculate at the table or give up any step. It works like money: you present the voucher at the restaurant and deduct it from the bill. And those who buy through Bonitour also receive 1 portion of Moqueca Fritter as a free gift, exclusive for agency customers.

Juanita Battilani, the chef responsible for Juanita Restaurant, arrived in Bonito in 2006 from the border with Paraguay and built the restaurant with the city’s community, not for tourists but for those who lived there. That DNA still shows in the service: Juanita’s team treats a couple’s table and a family table with the same care, regardless of the order. In 2015, the arrival of her son Jean Pierre marked the shift to à la carte and the launch of boneless grilled pacu, the dish that placed Juanita in Tripadvisor’s Hall of Fame and keeps the restaurant #1 in Bonito for consecutive years. The menu crosses the border between Pantanal cuisine and Paraguayan heritage: Pintado Stew, Rubinéia Slow-Roasted Ribs (10 hours over fire), “Lambe Dedo” Shrimp, Alligator Tail Fillet in clarified butter. The dessert Chico Balanceado closes the meal with identity—it isn’t a generic dessert; it’s an ending that matches Juanita’s way of cooking.

Buy in advance through Bonitour, arrive at Juanita and present the voucher at payment time. The R$250 credit is deducted from the bill with no category restriction. Service is first come, first served, with no reservation guaranteed by the voucher.
