The hosts, Marcelo and Bebeto, made me feel so welcome. Yes, it is super pet-friendly so when my Firoozeh and I showed up, by Uber, we were greeted by their dogs as well. It is an incredible vibe because it is unexpected that so much elegance and sophistication would exist in such spot. The food is superb. The kitchen crew is amazing and stylish. Such elegant dishes and professional demeanor from all staff surprised me. I have enjoyed my visit and my wonderful meal so much. I suggest the beef ribs, the quindim ice-cream, and the salads. I'd like to comment that the place is sparkling clean and beautiful. Congrats to Lá Bistrô and all staff. My best wishes for health and success. Thank you so much!

As I was with a tour from my cruise ship, the Crown Princess, my meal was included so I don't know the price. What I can tell you is that it was my best meal in Brazil and that the city of Petropolis is beautiful in itself. The setting for the restaurant is on Lago do Quitandinha (picturesque dining). The service was good as well.

Yes, chicken hearts were cooked with love. It's amazing what they can do with meat. Worth every dollar. The Papaya Cream dessert is to die for and the drinks were made right.

A very local Portugal Cusine off a street. You would fall in love with once you see it. Full of sun kisses, red wine aroma and fresh seafood smell. All local people dine in for hours, laughing, chatting.... Down-to-earth. I can so picture myself doing it every day. Grilled fish: 10/10. Superb! Very little oil to no oil but abundant of flavor! It perfectly reflects " no ingredients is the best ingredients!" Mixed meat: I am not a meat eater but my family says it is quite light too. Thin slices and tasty. The old gentleman served us is so well-groomed and very humble. I like Portugal for that matter. Seriously there is nothing to not like about Portugal: weather (300 days out of a year sunshine), food (seafood every meal), ppl ( calm, humble n warm).

The restaurant has a modern feel with a beautiful backdrop including a lake (it's really more like a pond). The service is outstanding. The servers simply keep coming with what seems to be dozens of food items to choose from. I didn't focus enough on taking photos but I did manage to get a couple that help give you an idea of what's in store. The prices were incredibly reasonable so out this place on your list if you're in the area.
