The burrata with candied grapes and homemade bread was so fresh, really hit the spot. Just wish the mains came out faster.

The cheese ice cream with guava was such a nice surprise. Really fresh and not too sweet. Gnocchi was good too, though I wish the portion was a bit bigger.

The truffle pasta was the star &mdash; rich, earthy, perfectly cooked. Pricey for sure, but that dish alone made it worth it.

Cozy spot with cold beer and good appetizers. Staff was on top of things. Got busy later but we grabbed a table fine. Solid for a relaxed bite.

The vibe here is really something &mdash; dark, moody, feels like a proper hotel restaurant. Service though? Hit or miss. One moment they&#39;re right there, next you&#39;re waving your hand around like a fool. Still, the atmosphere alone makes me want to come back. Just wish they&#39;d figure out the timing.

Veggie burger was actually solid. Good bun, decent patty, didn&#39;t fall apart. Beer list has some nice picks too. Only thing &mdash; smoking area sits right next to the tables, so you get that smell while you eat. Not a dealbreaker but kinda annoying. Fine for a quick bite if you grab a seat away from that side.

The churrasco is still solid, no complaints there. But honestly, the place lost a bit of its soul. Feels more corporate now, you know? And the price tag definitely went up. Still a reliable spot if you&#39;re craving good meat, just don&#39;t expect that old charm anymore.

The galinhada was solid, real Minas comfort food. Place is rustic, kinda out there, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

Burgers are solid, shakes hit the spot too. Service dragged a bit but the food made up for it. Decent spot for a quick bite.

Came here on a Tuesday night, place was busy but not crazy. Got the grilled fish with rice and beans, pretty solid. Sauce on the side was a nice touch. Service was fine, nothing fancy but they kept my water full. Prices are fair for the neighborhood. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m craving this kind of food again.

The filet with risotto was spot on, cooked exactly how I asked. The waiter checked on us just the right amount, not too pushy. Place was a bit noisy but I&rsquo;d still come back for that dish. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area and want a decent steak without the fuss.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Buffet by weight is the way to go here. Lots of fresh options, and the bakery corner with breads and sweets is a nice bonus. Place was clean and tidy. Got in and out fast, which is exactly what I needed. Solid spot for a no-fuss bite.

The chicken with okra and angu was really good. That cheese ice cream with warm guava syrup though &mdash; wow. Sitting in that old historical space made it feel special.

Stopped by because the place looked busy. Got the daily special, pretty solid. Cozy inside, not fancy but comfortable. Bill was way lower than I expected for the portion size. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Been coming here for a while now, and the truffle gnocchi still hits the spot every time. Consistent quality, which is rare to find. Service was a bit slow last visit, but the food makes up for it.

Came in on a quiet weekday, had the pork fillet. Really good, and the place wasn&#39;t loud at all. Easy to find near the center.

The fettuccine with the local sauce was the highlight &mdash; really rich and flavorful. Bruschetta was a solid starter too. Chef came out for a quick chat, which was a nice touch. Place is small and cozy, felt comfortable the whole time. Only thing is it got a bit busy later, but that&#39;s on us for going at peak time.

Good vegetarian options and fair prices for this area. Menu&#39;s not huge, but what they have is tasty. The seats were a bit hard though, got a little uncomfortable after a while.

Came here late night after studying near UFU. Got the snack plate, pretty decent for the price. Nothing fancy but the ingredients tasted fresh, which I appreciate. Service was friendly too. Not somewhere I&#39;d go out of my way for, but fine if you&#39;re in the area and hungry.

The Thai rice with trout was the star &mdash; so much flavor in every bite. The mushroom platter with pesto was solid too. Neverland dessert surprised me, sweet and savory at the same time.

The owner has that Minas Gerais warmth that just makes you wanna stay longer. Cold beer hit the spot after a hot day. Sat near the window, felt the breeze coming through. Simple place, nothing fancy, but the vibe was right. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but I left satisfied.

Came for a burger, ended up with the ribs in barbecue sauce. Meat was tender, sauce had a good kick. Filet was decent too, cooked right. Place is comfortable enough to sit in, so skip the takeaway. Service was fine, no complaints. Prices are fair for what you get.

The grilled meat was spot on, and the seasoning really stood out. Nice little spot for a quiet dinner. My only gripe&mdash;some menu items weren&#39;t available. Still, the wine list had a decent Malbec that paired well.

The pistachio gelato here is seriously good&mdash;so creamy and rich, you can tell they use real quality stuff. I grabbed a cone and it was crispy and fresh, perfect combo honestly. Great spot to hang with friends after a walk. Just wish they had more seating inside, we ended up standing around 😅

Good beer list but kinda pricey. Food was solid though, just wish the menu had more options. Make sure you book ahead for the weekend.

The pastel was pretty good, and the beer came out fast. Place was a bit of a see-and-be-seen crowd, but that&#39;s fine for a Friday night. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area.

Burger came out exactly how I asked, medium rare and juicy. Seasoning was on point, meat tasted fresh. The rustic fries were still hot and crispy when they hit the table. Tried the cranberry tea out of curiosity, actually went pretty well with the meal. Nothing fancy about the place but the food does the talking.

Stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed a seat near the bookshelves. The steak tartare was solid&mdash;good seasoning, came with decent bread. I had the iced lemongrass tea instead of wine since it was still early. Nice change of pace. Place gets busy fast, so timing matters. Worth checking out if you&#39;re in the area.

The esfihas are really good - light dough and the filling tastes fresh. Got a good portion for what I paid. Place is comfy too, but honestly I&#39;d come back just for the food.

The food&rsquo;s really good, but honestly the portions are kinda small for what you pay. I left still a bit hungry. The little kids&rsquo; corner is a nice touch though, made it easier to relax for a bit. Cute spot, just wish the plates were a bit more generous.
