What a recommendation from Yelp !! I had been looking for some cool cafes in Porto Alegre and was…read morereally impressed by the number of great reviews this place had, so I promptly bookmarked it and decided to try it out once I got the chance and even though I had high expectations from this place, there was no way I expected it to be so charming and a serious 5-star spot !! Located in downtown Porto Alegre (Cidade Baixa), is this quaint and colourful cafe - the outside is brightly coloured and really seems like an oasis among the other buildings around it. Once you get, the high ceilings with dangling cups, the different decorated ambients, the bar/balcony with Edison bulbs of different types along with the colours really make you feel warm and the same time in a very hip atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, this place is not pretentious - it just oozes charm like there's no tomorrow. Service is attentive but a tad bit slow but then Agridoce isn't the place for you to waltz in and out - it's the place where you spend the afternoon drinking reasonably priced local espumante, drinking the wonderfully blended coffees, eating their 'oh-my-god' cheesecakes & other delicacies or just drinking the Barco beers. They have a book sharing policy - you can take books from their mini-library and leave books there for others to read. It a place that accommodates a single person, couples and groups extremely well as they have assorted seating arrangements - and talking about seating - they have some really cool, colonial style brightly painted/upholstered chair. A definite place to visit and to return - this cafe is one of the best places I have been to...not just in Porto Alegre but in the country.

This place was outstanding value with exceptional cuts of meat cooked to perfection and service to match. I love my steak rare so I'm not going to lie I was in meat heaven, fillet mingon, top sirloin, bottom sirloin, rib eye, ribs, cheese wrapped in steak it was all pink and juicy oozing that little bit of blood. This was accompanied by a variety of local sausages, chicken, fish of the day and grilled cheese, it was all happening. The meat wave kept coming warm and plentiful from the kitchen. For those looking for a side other than meat fear not. Upon sitting down you are given a choice of salad to have many with cheese and then during the meal they bring around polenta chips, chips, onion rings, bread and ceased salad. Come hungry. It's worthwhile as you don't want to be too full to enjoy your meat or pass up a cut because you can't fit it in. If you can fit it in deserts are pretty tasty too. Cudos to the wait staff for their very pleasant and friendly and attentive service. They are always ready to helpful and smiling despite the hectic atmosphere. I was also impressed by the small plate of sausage and kebab we received whilst waiting for our table.

With both inside and outside seating, there was plenty of room to accommodate your preference. The servers were so nice and gave me some light options since I had to make it to a dinner later that afternoon. We decided on the chicken salad. I was impressed beyond my expectations. The size of the salad was perfect! Enough for a meal but light enough to eat again later. Everything was so fresh and I loved the flavor of the shredded chicken and Dijon. Everything came out quickly and I had plenty of time to make my next engagement. I how my next visit allows me to come back and try some more of their options. This was definitely an unexpected treat.

Located in a house on a tree-laden street in Porto Alegre, this place has been winning accolades and positive reviews for over 3 years and they have maintained that impeccable standard set by them in burger-land. The place isn't big and most of the tables are for seating 2 so if you go in a big group (over 4), you might have to wait a bit but trust me, the wait is worth it. They have a covered wooden patio which is better for groups. They have a really good variety of burgers - mostly beef based, one lamb and one/two veggie options - along with one decent beer list ranging from local craft beer to great Belgian and German imports. Service is reasonably quick and efficient. I ordered the lamb with mint/yogurt blend and a German lager - Ughinis Dortmunder - and boy, from the moment the burger came onto the table till I finished gobbling it, there was absolute silence. All burgers are served with a side of fried sweet potatoes and by the time I was done there was only paper left. Le Grand Burger should be on every burger lovers' list - almost all burgers are between R$ 30 - R$ 35 (a bit on the pricier side but worth it) and the collection of beer definitely adds to the charm. Will return for sure !

Extremely tasty cooked to your order. The eighty word review minimum is a bit much don't you think.read more
