The service was good, there's indoor and outdoor seating, and a full bar. The space on group tables is very tight, which was the only negative for me (well and that they don't have cafezinho or any real coffee; just a Nespresso machine).

I came out with my coworkers and we enjoyed everything that we got the drinks were fantastic. The appetizers were so good that we had to order seconds and everybody's entrée was divine. Our favorites are the duck dumplings, the pork belly, octopus Entrees we love the shrimp gnocchi, cod, tuna, oxtail. Service here was top tier. Thank you team at Glouton

It was our last night in Brazil, and we were able to get a last-minute reservation at the chefs table. To say that I was ecstatic is an understatement! The food was everything I expected and so much more. It was a great way to close our vacation to my beloved Minas. I can't wait to be back!.

Great cocktails including traditional caipirinhas (cachaca with muddled limes) and new favs like the caipivodka where you can muddle pretty much any fruit (strawberry or pineapple were my choices) asking with vodka! I now make these drinks on the regular back at home in California! They have amazing food prepared fresh when you order it and served mostly fried and breaded so perfect to soak up all that alcohol! And everything you order is bite sized!!!

We have been here a handful of times and have now tasted a decent portion of the menu. A sampling: Koningüiça: Ragout of calabresa sausage and mandioca with gorgonzola creme. This was the winner of the 2003 Comida di Buteco festival. Cool presentation (looks a bit like little ice cream cones) and also yummie. Tutu Bola: Little bite-size balls filled with layers of bean paste (tutu), kale, and pork. The crust is made with pork rind. Super creative and delicious! Entry for the 2014 Botecar festival. Acarajé Mineiro: Patorocco's take on the famous snack from Bahia state. Some of the classic ingredients have been replaced with local favorites, such as sausage instead of dried shrimp and creme of corn and cheese instead of vatapá. This is nicely presented and the ingredients work very well together. (Minor flaw, the 'bolinha' fried in palm oil was a bit dry.) Tô Fora!: Ragout of dried meat with dehydrated Jiló served on a tortilla. Again, great presentation (6 pieces for only R17,50 in May '16). Although relatively simple this tasted super good. Would definitely order again. Torresmo: delicious pork belly; succulent inside, and crispy outside. Highly recommended. Porco ao Molho Pardo: Served in a miniature traditional Minas kitchen (so cute!), this dish serves tender pieces of pork in a delicious sauce, sticks of fried polenta, and quiabo vegetable. One of our favorites here. Delicious and amazing presentation. All in all, Patorocco is fantastic and should not be missed during any culinary exploit of BH.
