When you are in the neighborhood this luncheonette is (IMHO) the best one. The owner is very nice…read moreeven though I speak not a lick of Brazilian (okay, beyond the basics). The variety of food is always changing and just darned tasty. Make sure to go up to the steak window and order a filet or two. This well seasoned meat will satisfy the hungriest of people.
You can also fill a plate with salad and hand it to the girls that will dice/chop up the salad for you and put it on your plate. I didn't think anything of it until I tried it and I really like how they manage to dice/chop it down to edible sized pieces.
Staff is always friendly and if you are here long enough you can get their frequent diners card for each visit. I always just used one of my colleagues cards to get them the extra stamp.
