Numerous people have told us is a great place for traditional Brazilian fare, done up in a slightly more posh manner. And, that's exactly what it was. Add a few white tablecloths, a wine list, etc., but all the "usual suspects" of Minas Gerais regional cuisine.
Chilies on the table, check!
Feijoada for one, check! H's dish of choice - started with a couple of linguiça, little sausages, and some chicharrones, crispy pork fat, and some sauce for dipping, followed by the ubiquitous array of the bean, meat, and sausage stew, farofa (toasted yuca flour), a small pot of different beans, and couve (steamed shredded collard or similar greens).
And, several people had told me that this place had one of the best bobo de camarãoes in the city, a sort of shrimp chowder in coconut milk thickened with yuca flour, with, here, two quenelles of steamed yuca porridge, and farofa on the side... I am yuca-ed out. But it was delicious, as was H's feijoada. Definitely a recommended spot. With a couple of waters and tip, R$208 ($50).
