We visited on a Monday evening when it was nice and quiet; may be different on other days/times. Service was ok. The feijão tropeiro was really delicious, with excellent pork and quality ingredients (and cheap too). We'd return just for this! Yum!!

Trindade is so far my favorite restaurant on this trip. The…read moremenu is varied and the focus is on contemporary Brazilian food. Service is attentive and friendly. We ordered the octopus appetizer to start. It had thick slices of octopus on top of soft potato slices. There was a chimichurri aioli that gave a nice kick to the dish. The main dishes were the moqueca and a rice with pork. Both were really well executed and tasty. The pork was amazing, actually. We had pineapple caipirinhas and a glass of wine. Prices were reasonable. They have a nice outdoor patio.

The place itself is cozy, with sidewalk seating and inside open air seating, as well as a small high bar counter. Service was very friendly and welcoming. We were impressed with the options on the menu. We started with a pão de queijo do dia appetizer that came with a creamy soft cheese and an espresso butter which was very unique and incredible. They rotate pão flavors but you can buy frozen ones to take home and try them all. They have a good selection of craft beers and cafes. I had to try the cafe milkshake with was delicious and filling. They also sell the coffee beans for home use as well. For food we tried the burger and the chicken sandwich. They come with an option of a salad, cubes of fried polenta. We tried the polenta which was a good size accompaniment but the fresh salads looked delicious too. The burger was delicious but the chicken sandwich was a little too much. It was topped with pesto and smothered in cheese but a little too rubbery and salty. I didn't have room for dessert but they have pão de queijo filled with doce de leite or goiabada. Definitely worth checking out!
