I'm extremely disappointed with the experience my mother-in-law and her boyfriend had at Porcão BH…read more We gave them a voucher as a birthday gift because we wanted him, on his first trip to Brazil, to have a great churrasco experience. Unfortunately, it turned into the worst restaurant experience they've had in Brazil. When they arrived, they informed the staff about the voucher and were seated normally. However, after waiting for 45 minutes, the waiters were completely ignoring their table. Meat was being served everywhere except to them, and when my mother-in-law asked a waiter about it, he simply laughed and walked away. That level of disrespect is unacceptable. Only after she asked to speak with the manager did the staff suddenly decide to start serving them. By then, the experience was already ruined. They felt humiliated and unwelcome, especially considering this was supposed to be a special birthday dinner and a positive first impression of Brazilian churrasco culture. In the end, they chose to pay only for the drinks and leave without even using the voucher because they no longer felt comfortable staying there. Based on what they experienced, it was their first and definitely their last time at Porcão BH. We are now in contact with the credit card company to dispute the purchase and request a refund for the voucher, since the service that was promised was never properly provided. A restaurant can make mistakes, but disrespect, neglect, and mocking customers should never happen.

My first experience in a truly Brazilian steakhouse and it was amazing! We sat in the porch and…read morewere treated to great views of BH at night. A lot of locals seemed to come here for celebrations in big groups with friends. With covid, the buffet was closed but you could still order the appetizers and sides and they would be brought to the table. The main attraction--the meat--was to die for. Perfectly cooked and seasoned! We even got to try the beef rib, which was a treat. To make the meal even better, we had great caipirinhas which complimented everything nicely. Despite being stuffed we still managed to have dessert: a passion fruit ice cream with black currant spirit on top. All in all a great experience and a great meal!

Wäls - Possibly my favorite Brazilian beer- Alambique county

Pretty good modern craft beer pub and restaurant. Beers on tap are great; but when we were there…read moreseveral of their house beers were unavailable. Crowd is mostly young 20s and 30s. Food is creative and original and tasty. We had some massive ribs, and alcatra with canastra (our "ao ponto" request didn't lead to a medium rare). There can be a pretty long wait to get in on busier days of the week. It's not cheap.

We saw this place as we were walking through Savassi and didn't realize it was only 4 months old…read more Because we are fans of Wäls petroleum we knew we had to try out their gastronomy and it didn't disappoint. First off I started with a flight called "nice to meet you", a lineup of their lighter beers, the witte, hop corn (which they are out of and substituted the verano - a pale ale), citra - a session IPA, and niobium- a double IPA. I'm not a fan of IPAs, but the witte was really smooth. I had the quintessential MG plate of toasted pão de queijo bruschetta with carne seca, a light creamy cheese and a touch of lemon zest. It was delicious and quite filling. The burger collaboration with duke n' duke was one of the BEST burgers I've had (and we've tasted so many Brazilian burgers, move aside Madero, here's the new champion!) Even if you are not usually a burger fan, this delicious speciality burger on its rustic bread bum, topped with special sauce, bacon and caramelized onions is absolutely scrumptious! Another not-to-miss item is the collaboration of Wäls and Goose Island, for an amazing Alambique County black tripel, a spinoff of Goose's bourbon county (one of my favorite beers). This one is a little lighter in color, if you're afraid of dark beers but full of flavor. We even bought the crystal glass it gets served in. If you are a fan of Wäls petroleum and want to try something different, this is the beer for you. Although the prices are a little expensive here, it's definitely worth every reais. Very impressed with this place, great ambiance, friendly staff, beautiful space and exceptional food and beer.
