Excellent food, excellent service as well. Very busy restaurant with a great selection of foods…read more The ambiance is very busy but very nice. I was there during carnival so it was quite busy. They have an amazing buffet. But apparently if you come after 3:00 or 4:00 they take down the buffet to put more tables to accommodate the people. The buffet has an amazing selection of very fresh salads, cheeses, vegetables, sauces, chicken, and meats. I returned several times because I enjoyed the food and the service. However, when I tried to pay with my bank card, it did not work. But the bank card worked at other locations close by such as pastelaria and verdemar supermercado. So maybe they need to figure out how to accept international cards. Otherwise I would definitely give it five stars.

Good per kilo buffet for lunch and restaurant/bar (boteco) at night. I've been a few times for…read morelunch and quite like it. The food is fresh, delicious and well-prepared. They have some specials such as churrasco or stroganoff on different days. There's seating inside and out on the veranda (can be shielded from street noise and wind by transparent screens) and sidewalk. After you've selected and weighed your food a waiter will come to your table for drink orders. On a recent visit we had a (fresh, obviously) pineapple juice with mint (abacaxi com hortelã) , which was delicious, and a caipirinha (forte and on the sweet side). The place is frequented by office folk. It is clearly more upscale than other local options; obviously reflected in the price. Overall very nice, but it can get busy and congested around the buffets and the scale at lunch time.

Bar do Antonio ticks all the right boxes for me:…read more - Ice cold beer, estupidamente gelada? Check - Delicious hearty yummie food? Check - Sidewalk seating? Check - Popular with locals? Check We recently visited with some people from out of town (Canada) and a couple of Brazilians and enjoyed the place a lot. The food is really fantastic. Several won prizes at the annual Comida di Buteco festival. Highlights for us were the "costelinha embriagada" (beef ribs) and the moela (chicken gizzard). The torresmo was also outstanding; a little glass of Seleta (a well-known chachaça) made it even better. A couple of years back, this boteco was featured in a New York Times article ("36 Hours in Belo Horizonte, Brazil" by Seth Kugel, April 25, 2014). If you're in Belo and interested to explore the boteco culture, Bar do Antonio is a good place to put on your list.

This review is from a Gringo that loves this town and Silvio's, I haven't been there in a little…read morewhile but; Silvio's Great little Miniero style restaurant. The only problem was my estrangeiro visa credit card does not work there, so I needed cash, but esplanada has only 1 single ATM , at the 1 single store that closes at 10pm . The Food is great, come with enough cash or a credit card, or a brazillian debit card because you will want to buy all the drinks and every appetizer on the menu!!! And give your love and respect to the puppies they are like super cute I know brazillians do not tip, but you better tip the employees here, they are worth it! Hats off to the Chef and owner!
