"In a city historically known for its Port wine, the number of good wine bars (with great food) has only recently improved. In a casual, cozy space on Miguel Bombarda Street, known for its art galleries and studios, Genuíno joins the trend with a sharp wine list focusing on organic and natural winemakers, mainly from Portugal, along with comforting yet creative dishes. The menu changes weekly — think cod fritters, Scotch egg, steak tartare, spinach pancakes — as do the wine options. Brazilian owners Gabriela Johann and Gustavo Schmidt just partnered with baker Jorge Mariano to open a sister pizzeria project next door, Generosa." - Rafael Tonon
