"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 veal tongue with celery jus and esparregado (spinach purée); or chayote tempura with amberjack crudo and green apple vinaigrette — as do the wine options. The restaurant recently underwent a renovation, making the space even more comfortable and inviting. Know before you go: Genuíno operates on a fixed seating schedule, so be sure to plan accordingly. You’ll be expected to leave at the end of your allotted time." - Rafael Tonon
