Bene da Flauta

Reviewed By delmd2015

We chose this restaurant, a block away from our hotel, for dinner our only night in Ouro Preto. We sat by a window and had a splendid view of the hills and city. The soft Brazilian music in the background added to the great indoor atmosphere. Our waiter was excellent and even was able to give us the typical Brazilian dish of the region (feijao tropeira) which normally they only serve at lunchtime. This was a very tasty dish. It was a great introduction to Brazilian food our first night in Brazil

House Ad'vinho

Reviewed By marciat-roscoe

Casa bacana, bem decorada, tem ambientes internos e também área externa gramada! Preferimos ficar no jardim, que estava mais silencioso. Lá dentro tinha música ao vivo. O fetuttine com molho gorgonzola estava muito gostoso. Já o filé simples deixou a desejar. Estava duro e com nervos. Atendimento cortez. Vale a visita.

Cafe Geraes

Reviewed By ed-TO

We had a lunch there and bypassed the luncheon specials for some menu items that looked really appealing. The choice meant that it took a bit longer to get our lunch but it was worth the wait. We had a front table and the people-watching outside helped pass the time. Service was friendly and capable. We enjoyed the meal and wanted to go back, but it appeared closed for holiday when we tried.

Escadabaixo Bar Cozinha

Reviewed By 657reneey

First, you may get confused that there are reviews for Escada Abaixo and Cafe Geraes and the location is the same, we have confirmed, they are the same restaurant, same kitchen, same chef, same menu. There's the casual atmosphere in the basement, with tv and more bar like and upstairs, more classy with a piano. The restaurant (whichever one you are at) is fabulous!!! We loved our meal start to finish and the ambience (we were upstairs with the piano) was really lovely, plus great service. My husband and I shared the meat dish for two, it was fantastic. I would absolutely return! Best to make reservations and go early, there was a line outside the door starting around 21.30.

Le Chalet Fondue & Bistro

Reviewed By fonzworldwide

I am still relatively new to Brazil, so I am acclimatized to eating my dinner earlier. When we stopped in for dinner last week, we found ourselves in the same charming candy shop we had visited earlier in the day. The waiter, who was loitering around in the lobby, showed us up stairs to the chalet. We were his first customers of the night. After reviewing the menu, we settled on the fondue for two. We were informed that tonight was special, and if we wished to have any of the food we finished replaced, that it would be done so free of charge. My girlfriend is vegetarian and I am not, but we were both overwhelmed with the amount of food that came with this meal. Everything I tried was very nice and the meats were of high quality and good freshness. I especially enjoyed the Pastel Carne. I have been trying these all over Minas and this was maybe the best one I have had, yet. So after eating three, I asked for another, you know, because they were "free" tonight. My girlfriend really like the farofa balls, so she got some more of those and a little extra cheese for the pot. The service was commendable and the chocolate pot dessert did not disappoint.While we were dining, two other parties came in and one ordered the pasta that my girlfriend suggested we should have. As usual, she was probably correct. I am unsure of the name on this dish on the menu, but look through the restaurant's photos for the giant cheese wheel and blowtorch for reference. If we come back, which I would without hesitation, I am ordering that meal just for the presentation value!

Brazilian Food , home cooked traditionally . with a dessert to follow, Delicious .The two Ladies were exceptional hosts and we managed to converse with our basic Portuguese .
