Recommended by receptionist at Ouro Minas Hotel this restaurant is ‘challenging’ to find but be persistent as it is worth the trip. Like many other reviewers I would concur that the place does serve good Minas Gerais food (I know that because we went with a colleague who lives locally). Enjoyed the Caipirinha and the deep fried ribs. We also... More

Regional food is served at its best in this cozy restaurant that looks like a farm huge eatery. Hard to find its location, be sure to get directions or a taxi. Minas Gerais food is heavy, so take time to enjoy it

This place has excellent Minas food that is very rustic. I had the feijoada (bean stew) that was fantastic and they had some deep fried ribs that were very good. The atmosphere here is what sets it apart and it kind of reminds me of a stable/farm. They have a live mariachi type band coming through and playing. We sat... More

We went there for an end of the trip lunch. Widely regarded as the best mineira food place in Belo Horizonte, was a bit of a let down in that regard. The appetizers were excellent and on par with any other place i've eaten this kind of food, but the main course was disappointing. I've had better in Rio. The... More

The perfect place for a good comida mineira. It's kind of far away from the city center and it is hard to find.

perhaps we went on a bad day, or because there was a food festival going on in the city (belo horizonte restaurant week) but the food used to be better, so as the service. But it worths a visit, especially on a winter day.

Delightful restaurant, but be warned it is in the far end of Pampulha and a good half hour away from the centre of town. It is, however, a delightful drive, and you can see a lot of the Niemeyer architecture as you as you drive round the scenic lake. The food is typical Minas food and is delicious. Most portions...

If you look for the best mineiro food, this is your spot. Chef Nelsa Trombino runs a remarkable restaurant with the right atmosphere. It may be a little crowded on sundays and hollidays, but if you choose to go, be prepared for a little wait. It is better to reserve. It is a good place to go when you visit... More
