We went there for lunch, had a tutu de feijao. It was OK, but not exceptional by any means. I expected better. But again, just like the other places we went to, price was consistent with quality, not overly pricey. So no grounds for complaints. I just wish there would be better places around.

I went to this restaurant with my love and we had an excellent dinner, amazing service and nice candle lights... the prices are not high at all, background music is not loud and you can have a great view from the balconies, very close (a block) from the Praça Tiradentes, excellent choice to have a great valued food :)

A group of four of us visited the Casa do Ouvidor on the advice of a local guide. The building itself is a treat with beautiful wooden floors and classic full length windows leading to a view of the cobbled street. The selection of food was excellent and the cuisine is very different for visitors from Australia. The service was... More

I love black beans and rice and this restaurant, located just off a side street from Tiradentes Square had some of the best black beans and rice I've ever had.

If you want to experience the classic dishes of Mineira Gerais, this restaurant is the place to go Having won several awards for their regional cuisine the setting is quite nice. Candle light and table cloths can make for a romantic evening.

My husband an I had lunch at this restaurant; as it was Sunday afternoon the place was crowded with especially Brasilian families that were visibly enjoying their meals. We immediately felt at home. One dish is meant to serve two, but we discovered that in practise it can feed at least three. We loved the Mineira dish with meat, rice... More

Buses, Trucks raving their engines to get up the steep slope, loud techno music blasting from party goers arriving into the square. - Staff although friendly, kept rushing... More

I was there with friends to eat " Feijão Tropeiro" e "Frango ao Molho Pardo". It was a nice experience. Good food in a nice and traditional place, close to Praça Tiradentes.
