    Our first taste of the touted Minas Gerais pão de queijo had to be at a place that specialized in…read moreit. We found this place on Yelp and knew we needed to try out be pão de queijo hamburger. The place itself is cozy, with sidewalk seating and inside open air seating, as well as a small high bar counter. Service was very friendly and welcoming. We were impressed with the options on the menu. We started with a pão de queijo do dia appetizer that came with a creamy soft cheese and an espresso butter which was very unique and incredible. They rotate pão flavors but you can buy frozen ones to take home and try them all. They have a good selection of craft beers and cafes. I had to try the cafe milkshake with was delicious and filling. They also sell the coffee beans for home use as well. For food we tried the burger and the chicken sandwich. They come with an option of a salad, cubes of fried polenta. We tried the polenta which was a good size accompaniment but the fresh salads looked delicious too. The burger was delicious but the chicken sandwich was a little too much. It was topped with pesto and smothered in cheese but a little too rubbery and salty. I didn't have room for dessert but they have pão de queijo filled with doce de leite or goiabada. Definitely worth checking out!

    Great place for trying hand made Pao de Queijo. Good beer and sandwiches, even vegetarian options…read more Good for a quick local bite.

    My eat.pray.love moment happened at this restaurant. I was first introduced to it by a friend who…read moretook me here for my farewell lunch. I was not that hungry that day but still managed to finish the whole plate while marveling that this entree was fantastic. I ordered the dish that they have based their restaurant's name upon - L'Entrecôte (steak) and opted for pasta instead of the traditional steak frites. My friend got the steak frites and ordered more later (I tasted one and it tasted great - crispy thin and lightly salted). My steak was medium and was absolute perfection. The pasta that accompanied it was even better - garlicy and buttery fettuccine - so simple yet delicious. Our entree came after the main salad which is simple and hearty; Greens, cherry tomatoes and walnuts topped with a dressing of yogurt consistency. The dressing is kind of genius because it works so well with the simple salad. I did not have room but dessert but promised myself that I would return. So I came back a day before my departure from Belo Horizonte and ordered the same dish accompanied with the special sauce on the side of coarse. My server was delightful and conversed with me in English. The dish tasted even better today because I came hungry. You have to come to this gem of a restaurant and get their steak with pasta/frites (I recommend the lovely pasta) and save room for the absolutely delectable and airy chocolate mousse for dessert. It's the perfect end to a great meal and now I am going to go back and experiment with trying to replicate this marvelous yet simple dish.
