UPDATE: eat like a KING for R25-ish! I am writing this update primarily to comment on the por quilo…read morebuffet that we just tried. The selection is somewhat small compared to your average Brazilian lunch buffet, but the quality more than makes up for it. Man it's good. The different meats (ribs, slow cooked beef & torresmo in our case) and tropeiro were excellent. Veggies and salads no dealbreakers. Add a nice cold beer. Was 5 stars, remains 5 stars! Great Buteco in the NE corner of Mercado Central (2nd floor). This place is popular and nearly always busy, so unless you show up before 11:30 you can expect a line. Service is quick and friendly. The food is very, very good. Worth the wait. Mineirinho Valente (winning entry of the Comida di Buteco festival 2005) is a cute little hot pot with canjiquinha (staple), cheese, smoked pork, ribs, sausage & spinach. It sounds great and tastes even better. Simply delicious! Fígado Acebolado com Jiló is a favorite on the menu and was recommended to us by friends and random co-diners. It has excellent strips of beef liver, onion & jiló (scarlet eggplant, originally from Africa but popular in Brazil), which is a bit bitter vegetable that pairs very well with the liver. Delicious also. We have tried a few other dishes in years past and nearly all are good. Feijão Mexicana looks excellent but might be our least favorite. Drinks include the typical beers, a range of specialty beers and various spirits, including a good collection of cachaças.

Great food with amazing environment. I've been there twice. Once with the owners and I thought…read moremaybe because of them, the service was amazing. But then I went there without an early notice. So my girlfriend and I, we went there Friday late night. We arrived there and someone really kind was "waiting" for us at the entrance. Then another person conducted us and let us comfortable for choose our table. They were super friendly without to invade our space. The time between our order and the food to be serve, was perfect. We could talk and enjoyed the place with no interruptions. Congratulations for such good restaurant in Belo Horizonte. It's one of my favorite places now ;)

Really pretty covered plaza on the ground floor of the museum is the setting for this chain cafe…read more They had plenty of tables both inside the restaurant and outside in the covered patio, encased by the beautiful architecture of the building. The menu was quite complete with drinks, appetizers, salads, sandwiches and pastas. We tried a few specials of the day. Suco do dia 2was an orange juice mixed with caju. The cafe of the day was a cherry roast which was very tasty and properly served with a tiny stick of chocolate and a spritzer chaser. The beer of the day was from KÜD, a local brewery, a tangerine ale which was awesome. For food, the Moroccan couscous salad with chicken pieces covers in mint yogurt dressing was pretty tasty. The burger came smothered in American cheese and had a huge helping of unsalted fries on the side. It wasn't too remarkable but fine. Service was prompt and friendly. Definitely a great place to meet a friend for lunch. There's live music on certain days, just check the museum schedule online.

We ordered the octopus appetizer to start. It had thick slices of octopus on top of soft potato slices. There was a chimichurri aioli that gave a nice kick to the dish. The main dishes were the moqueca and a rice with pork. Both were really well executed and tasty. The pork was amazing, actually. We had pineapple caipirinhas and a glass of wine. Prices were reasonable. They have a nice outdoor patio.
