The best Brazilian restaurants Minas Gerais

A rustic and romantic restaurant that serves generous plates of comida mineira prepared with love, and not at all expensive. In a setting that only Minas knows how to offer, with its whitewashed walls, its exposed stones and its long room, Bem te vi is a historical, folkloric and culinary adventure. In the evening, the candles add a romantic touch to a place that is never without it. We are far from Copacabana or Ipanema and we are not complaining. A delicious buffet and not expensive by the kilo.

One of the most popular restaurants in BH, on weekends a queue forms at the entrance! A traditional and classic cuisine that has proven itself since 1975. If the room is ordinary, what is on your plate will delight you: meats, dishes of the Nordeste... Well, the problem is that the proposed menu is infinitely long, between fish, beef, mineira.... Some dishes are more than enough for two people. Also a good wine list. A lively place often voted "best traditional restaurant in BH".

Despite its name...it's a good plan for lunch! Located on the first floor of a beautiful building, this restaurant offers a very well-stocked buffet (salads, meats, fillings, desserts), as well as a "grilled meat" station. The price is based on the weight of the plate (it is a restaurant by the kilo or a buffet. The room is pleasant and spacious. It is a self-service restaurant with a sophisticated look. From the dining room, you have a nice view of the Mercado Velho square if you choose a table near the windows.

A few dozen metres from the church of Santo Antônio, you can't miss the chef's Harley-Davidson. Motorcycle and whiskey fan, the chef André Grobério makes a very nice food. The pizzas are cooked on a wood fire, the mineiros dishes are also quite good. On the restaurant side, in the air-conditioned room, an interesting wine list. When the sun is shining, it is pleasant to sit on the terrace.

The Bistrô at the Congonhas Museum is the best option for a sweet or savoury break during your visit to the city. A few dishes are on offer, as well as a very good coffee. The charm of the Minas Gerais of yesteryear is gone. The Bistrô has a resolutely modern design style, perhaps a little impersonal. Some spaces, near the bay windows, offer a magnificent view of the city. Music groups sometimes perform in this place of culture and gastronomy. Sandwiches, picanha, "grand gateau", heart of palm salad...good for a snack.

Bichinhos is definitely a place that holds all kinds of treasures. In a small, simple house with bucolic charm on the road to Bichinhos, chef Leonidia honours simple regional cuisine with products from the garden that you come across as you enter the restaurant. We work here in short circuit or in locavore. The dishes are family-style and very tasty. The desserts are also excellent. The "straw hut" style is romantic. The cuisine of the place has been honoured for a long time. A good idea for a break on the Estrada Real.

A small typical bar whose small dishes perhaps allow you to get a better idea of the "mineiro" spirit. The bar do Zézé offers a real mineira atmosphere and for some, one of the best tropeiras cuisine of all the botecos of Belo Horizonte. Of course, one does not come here to seek the sophistication of the trendy bars of Ipanema. This old grocery store has kept its "neighborhood" spirit that mixes so well with the "boteco" spirit. Zezé has won numerous culinary awards.

The central market of Belo Horizonte is a must-see place in the city. Although there are tourists, the central market is a guaranteed dive into the heart and soul of the Belo Horizonte city. The restaurant Casa Cheia is one of the most popular botecos in the central market, where you can find some small specialties from the chef's piano that are definitely worth a visit. Try the carne do sol with manioc or the feijao tropeiro. A place to know.

Certainly one of Belo Horizonte's many gastronomic temples. In this large, friendly establishment, you can "compose" your dish by choosing certain "options". The menu also includes grilled meats and filet mignon. Risotto is the house specialty. The "policy" at the heart of the project is to seek out quality food and balanced dishes. A place to know, for sure! Delivery service is also available.

Le Glouton is a culinary address that enriches the offer of Belo Horizonte. The young chef Leonardo Paixão, aptly named, studied in French cooking schools and then trained in the kitchen of Taste-Vin, with chef Rodrigo Fonseca, another enthusiast of the "French touch" in cooking. The cuisine is of great finesse and originality. You can see the cooks practicing their art in the kitchen. Beyond the quality, the quality-price ratio is to be underlined. You can't go there without a reservation and a deposit is required.

It feels like another mineiro "rancho", the one in Mariana, a city dear to our guide Kenio Maximiliano Azevedo. The Rancho is a typical mineiro restaurant. At noon, the buffet offers a wide variety of regional dishes, cooked on wood fire, of good quality. The whole is simple, rustic and friendly. In short, a vario mineiro. When one stops in Serro, in general, stage of any journey to the hidden beauty that is Diamantina, the Rancho makes it possible to appreciate a very good local kitchen while impregnating oneself of the places.

This restaurant occupies a beautiful colonial house from the 19th century. Villeiros is both a good "kilo" and a restaurant where a varied and well-prepared mineira food graces the guests' table. The atmosphere of the place is very pleasant. The decoration of the rooms, but also of the plates is pleasant and refined. The food is noble and prepared with care. The shrimp pasta is as good as well presented. The cakes are renowned in the region. Something to satiate yourself while waiting for the Maria Fumaça.

Petras, the restaurant of Pousada das Pedras, offers a varied menu, from excellent wood-fired pizzas to the purest mineira specialties, all in a welcoming setting. The team is a family affair, with mother (who's the chef) and son in the kitchen. This family harmony is reflected in the dishes and the small but high-quality menu. The ravioli are incredibly tasty. Finishing the meal with the subtle sweetness of the homemade walnut tart will leave you with a taste of home.

This is the restaurant of the Colonial Hotel. This establishment is in the image and spirit of the colonial hotel. It is rustic and tasteful and it fits very well with the spirit of the place. The Cova do Daniel is a good table with strong mineiras consonances, in a rustic frame. We will taste the tutu mineiro and the feijão tropeiro... Of course. One will appreciate particularly this quiet, welcoming and pleasant place, far from the agitation of the downtown of Congonhas during the days very charged of visitors of the sanctuary.

The best self-service restaurant in town, with a special emphasis on Minas Gerais specialities! The establishment is simple and welcoming, just like Minas Gerais. If the coquettish Tiradentes is dressed in beautiful clothes, its cuisine often remains simple and based on the search for quality food. The Divino Sabor restaurant respects these principles to the letter. The soapstone kettles provide appetizing mineiro dishes that have been delighting locals and tourists for many years. A restaurant by the kilo with a fairly good price-quality ratio.

Modern and functional, you don't come to the Chafariz restaurant for its architecture or decoration, which are very ordinary. It is, however, a perfect self-service restaurant for lunch, located very close to the Maria-Fumaça train station, which is what you want in a restaurant. All the dishes are appetizing, from salads to desserts. The food is carefully prepared and well presented. Chafariz restaurant offers a buffet formula for R$ 30, which means all you can eat, without weighing the plate. Mineira cuisine and churrasco are de rigueur
