Cute and cozy coffee spot within walking distance from our hotel. Our first attempt to eat here…read morefailed due to the wait time. However, the second time we came , we were in luck because a table was leaving when we arrived. Anyway, we put in our orders and still ended up waiting for 25-30 minutes. So be prepared to wait. The food was decent. I had the 1/2 LF salad and veggie omelette. We both had their Irish cream coffee and they did not skimp on the alcohol.

And a small but decent wine list. The staff is a bit under, so my tip would be if you sit outside, order at the counter. It'll move things along.

Cafe Secreto is an amazingly small, intimate coffee shop near the "Largo do Machado" Metro stop,…read morewith friendly staff and good quality coffee. The baristas are friendly and some speak english fluently, while others have a basic english proficiency - You will be able to communicate if you do not speak Portuguese. The owner who brought this unique cafe to life can often be found there, and the entire staff have a love for high quality coffee. Be aware, the actual location can be a bit hard to find. It is down a corridor/alley that has many small businesses along it which is only for pedestrians/for walking. The cafe consists of a long bar, with a few seats, and the baristas (usually anywhere from 2 - 3) working behind it. Upstairs there are a few small tables that are great for enjoying with a friend or getting a bit of work done. Outside, there are a few tables as well. The drinks are of good quality. One of the baristas told me about how most of Brazil's good quality coffee beans are exported to other countries, so they go through a special coffee bean roaster based out of Sao Paulo(? can't remember exactly) that is known for acquiring high quality beans. They have typical lattes, espresso, and cappuccinos, but also inquire if you are interested in being more adventurous, in some of their more unique drinks (ones created by the cafe). I tried a coconut water with espresso iced drink that was delicious and refreshing. Also they have hibiscus tea which is refreshing on a hot day. They have a number of pastries that are more specific to Brazil, and a small oven in which they warm things fresh. They also have a sourdough toast with butter that an expat recommended (sourdough is not common to Brazil and is an unique offering). Prices are reasonable, with drinks from R$5 - R$10. They do have Wifi. I would recommend this place for the ambiance and the quality of coffee.

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. I can't wait to go back to Brazil. I will dream about this place for awhile.
