In English we don't use the word food when referring to a meal option in a menu. The same ways as in Portuguese, the word dish (prato) is perfectly suited.

Food is also rarely pluralized. You may say "foods" when referring to categories of food: cereal, legumes, meat, eggs. These are different foods, or different food groups.
