Bené da Flauta Restaurante e Café

I visited this restaurant in January 2025 with my family for dinner. I have to start by mentioning the amazing service; the staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Despite our table placing a large order for six people, the food came out quickly. The food was delicious! Everything we ordered tasted great, especially the mandioca (yuca). The building where the restaurant is located has remained unchanged for many years, and the servers were kind enough to share its history with us.

Do not try this terrible restaurant. I made booking with the girl yesterday for dinner on Sunday evening. She took it without telling us that it was not ooen on Sunday. We waited in the cold air for an hour only to find out it was close on Sunday!

Beautiful restaurant. Average food quality and quite bad service. Prices are not justified for the quality. Quite empty for dinner. They serve typical Minas Gerais food ONLY FOR LUNCH! Don’t recommend it!

Good food and ambient. Get really busy so plan to arrive early.

They are famous and popular restaurant at Ouro Preto. So, don’t forget to make reservation. Otherwise, you need to wait with long line. Their atmosphere, staff services, and of course food was very good. Their dishes were individual, just the right amounts. Their price was also attractive range, but amazing quality.

Its a general problem in Brazil unfortunately, I face it here as well. Neither the waiters speak English nor the menu is in English. It's really hard for the tourists to order. The food is delicious, the environment is nice and clean. I like it so much.

I highly recommend making a reservation (on the restaurants site), to avoid any waiting lines. The food was incredible, but a bit pricey. The staff was kind and did their work well. The place its self is also amazing and the views are spectacular, BUT (as going to any other place in the city) it does require walking as it has very little parking spaces near. TIP: This restaurant is better during the afternoon (has more plate options, and the views are better) Overall, it was a great experience.

Great experience and wonderful view! Everyone’s food was excellent and the service was particularly good!
