A contained cultural explosion passed 2am... What? It really doesn't make sense, but Genésio is something I cannot quite explain what it is, really; menu is painted on the walls without any pricing but not to be on the pretentious side, simply because this place is really old, wait staff really kind and really polite, food is amazing, even though is way passed 2am, they still have a full bar and serving well potent drinks.
If you feel uncomfortable about personal space, this might not be the place for you. Dining room is not small, but they try to squish as many tables as possible, next to us, a group working on their laptops, a large group of young hipsters, talking about biz and make music since one of them had a Spanish guitar, and even with these group making some tunes, it didn't affect sound ambience nor people's behavior in the room.
Food:
Polenta de Colher com Queijo de Cabra e Molho de Cogumelos (Polenta with Chevre and Shrooms)
Bolinhos de Risoto de Alho Poró (Brazilian Leek Arancini)
Bolinhos de Carne com Manjericão (Polpettine with Basil)
Would come here anytime, food, ambience, wait staff, everything awesome! read more
