I visited the Gruta da Lapinha as the first stop during my visit to Lagoa Santa in Brazil last…read moreweekend . I loved their Brazilian Grilled fish! The gauchos never stopped coming around with the skewers of various types of beef, lamb, chicken, sausages. The grilled pineapple was amazing! I also loved the rice and beans. Though I didn't have anything from the salad bar, but it looked spectacular. I will absolutely return for dinner there anytime again am in Brazil - I was told the price after my dinner and it is extremely reasonable. The staffs are very friendly, and the interior is beautiful with nice background music.

This is one of the hot spots to go in town. They have live music on most weekends. The outdoor…read morepatio is a great space to hang out, enjoy a cocktail, some food, and the company of friends. The cocktails are good, but nothing extraordinary. The service is prompt (but don't be afraid to speak up to get their attention). Upon request, they will set up and tear down folding tables in any configuration you want. I only had a chance to try the nachos, which were delicious, albeit a little soggy. I hope to return and update with more info on the food next time!

This café/bar is a convenient and pretty comfortable hangout in the main terminal of Confins -…read morelocated between Gol and Tam/Azul check-in counters. Its open and airy. You can get food, snacks and a variety of drinks. Service is friendly but not necessarily super efficient. Bäcker is a well-known micro-brewery in Minas Gerais. I've had a couple of their beers. The Bravo is a pretty decent porter. Nice and chocolate-y if you're into that kind of thing; a bit sweet if you're not. The IPA is US style; great hoppy taste, again if you're into that. If you're not, probably better to stick to the Pilsen. Of course, in true Brasil-style you have to first pay for your order at a 'caixa' off to the side of the main bar. You then take your receipt to the bar to hand it to the staff who makes sure it gets to your table. I once got some old and pretty hard pão de queijo; I complained and immediately got a newer batch. (Although nice of them they shouldn't have served the old stuff to start with!)

Best place for per kilo in Lagoa Santa. The meat is yummy. They have fresh juice drinks. The food…read moreis fresh. The service staff is also very friendly.

This is my go to place every time we come to Brazil. My daughter loves it. We usually get the #13,…read morebut I haven't had a sandwich yet that wasn't yummy. The juice is delicious, we love the açaí with morango (açaí with strawberries). My husband is also a huge fan of the suco de maracujá, laranja, manjericão, e mel (passion fruit, orange, basil, and honey juice) without any sugar added. Even in the winter the soups are good with a nice side of toast. The dessert of choice in my household is a traditional açaí that comes with granola and bananas. Over all, we love this restaurant.
