I moved into this neighborhood four months ago, being new to Brazil and not feeling comfortable…read moreenough to drive I was hoping to find a good place to eat within walking distance of my house. Pao D Mais is it! It is a two part establishment, one part is a little bakery and convenient store; which is great for your morning coffee and bread. The second part is a self service restaurant, or as we call them in the States "buffets". I eat lunch here at least four times a week with my wife. The food is prepared fresh daily and is a nice selection for this little quiet place. There is an assortment of finger foods, fresh vegetable dishes, the mandatory rice and beans, and a generous selection of meats; everything from fish to chicken hearts (something I still will not put in my mouth). The only reason I am discounting them a star is because the restaurant portion is not open for dinner, it closes at 3pm. Even though I am comfortable driving now we still eat most of our lunches here, it's more economically reasonable for us than cooking since we have different food tastes.

Well apparently everyone reviewed the bakery and I should have just eaten the bread. I instead went…read moreto the restaurant side and had lunch at the per kilo buffet. They were running out of the popular items like breaded chicken and you had to line up separately and request sliced steak from the grill if you wanted something hot other wise they had a selection of rice, pasta, vegetables, salads, salmon, bolhinhos, beans, and the typical offering at a per kilo place. As expected, the flavor was average. I also tried the in-house mate, not quite the same flavor as mate Leao. With big but heavy plates, a paltry serving can easily run R$30. The best part of it was the dessert which was separate. The chocolate mil folhas was rich and tasty. The pastry itself was still quite crispy and fresh, so I can see how the pastries, desserts and bakery items are lauded. The shop next to the restaurants which you're obligated to walk through had a good selection of beer, cheeses and other specialty items, all for a hefty price. I did try a lata of Rio cha verde with lychee (can of green tea with lychee) which was delicious. Next time I'll have to have breakfast as the other yelpers recommended.

Good food, pay by the kilo buffet with a decent selection of dishes. It was a bit busy when we…read morearrived, but that's to be expected during the lunch rush. We actually got good service here too. To exit the restaurant you have to go through the bread store, which has an amazing selecting of bread and candies.
