You can get food, snacks and a variety of drinks. Service is friendly but not necessarily super efficient. Bäcker is a well-known micro-brewery in Minas Gerais. I've had a couple of their beers. The Bravo is a pretty decent porter. Nice and chocolate-y if you're into that kind of thing; a bit sweet if you're not. The IPA is US style; great hoppy taste, again if you're into that. If you're not, probably better to stick to the Pilsen. Of course, in true Brasil-style you have to first pay for your order at a 'caixa' off to the side of the main bar. You then take your receipt to the bar to hand it to the staff who makes sure it gets to your table. I once got some old and pretty hard pão de queijo; I complained and immediately got a newer batch. (Although nice of them they shouldn't have served the old stuff to start with!)

The food is served buffet style mostly in comida mineira style. Some of the food was not placed on the heating elements and thus cold. Come early to avoid the long lines for the BBQ. When we were there (around 200 guests total I'd guess) they roasted a full pig and a huge each of cow ribs in addition to the regular BBQ fare. Food and deserts are nicely done overall. For kids there are some play activities (e.g., bouncing castle), but not very many. There's also a horse-drawn carriage making loops on the premises. Depending on age, kids will like this. Access is fine (15 minutes over a dirt road) and pretty close to Belo, on the Contagem side. It's not a great deal necessarily (pricey beverages, couvert) but if you're with young kids who eat for free it's worth it.

There are food options for seating various sizes groups both inside and outside. You can order food off the menu (try the bento boxes...) or you can go to the sushi buffet and select anything and everything you want. There is not as much variety in your choices at the buffet, but there is enough selection to please most sushi lovers. And the chef will make any roll you like to order. The sushi itself was... good. There was nothing to complain about. But the overall dishes weren't amazing. For the price, I think it's a great value, and I will come back again. The fruit sake was too sweet and fruity for my taste. But the espresso is excellent. It's a great place to bring a date, because you can pretend to be fancy, and you can both get whatever you want. And you can be adventurous and try something new in front of your date. Just don't overdo it with the ginger and wasabi!

The juice is delicious, we love the açaí with morango (açaí with strawberries). My husband is also a huge fan of the suco de maracujá, laranja, manjericão, e mel (passion fruit, orange, basil, and honey juice) without any sugar added. Even in the winter the soups are good with a nice side of toast. The dessert of choice in my household is a traditional açaí that comes with granola and bananas. Over all, we love this restaurant.
