I've only stayed in Blumenau for only a week and wanted to try out a lot of the restaurants. Moinho…read moredo Vale is by far the best one that I've eaten at. The restaurant cooks really good German food and great pasta. They make great German sausages with sauerkraut, purple cabbage and the german mustards. They also cook a great drake. The potato salad is fantastic as is the risotto. There is always a pasta dish which is very good as well. On Saturdays, they have do a seafood buffet in addition which costs a little bit more but there are some great varieties of seafood plates. For dessert, they make a mean apple strudel and I have seen a blueberry pie as well which was absolutely fantastic. Beer-wise, they sell speciality beers (R$20 each) that are very good. I've only drank 3 of them but I want to go back and try all of them. Next time I come back to Blumenau, I will definitely drop by here again.

Well, the hotel referred this place to us. We were looking for a German cuisine once being in…read moreBlumenau. There was only 4 or 5 German dishes. The waiter was suffering of short memory. He was not focused on our table at all. I asked if they have pure malt beer and he promised to get the information for us. Now the adventure began. After take a long time to provide us the menu, he came back to get the order and didn't give us the information about the beer. So, I asked him about it. He then remember to tell us what he found out. He asked us if we would like to have a little appetizer to start with the beer. We agreed. We finished the first beer and it didn't come. I raised my hand and waved wildly to get his attention. He didn't see me but the busboy did. Finally we got it with the second beer and later on we got the meal with a dead fried fly. That was the most disgusting evening! We already have the meal on our plates we we noticed that. The waiter ordered another dish. We decided to take it and give to the taxi driver to have a nice dinner with his wife. A bill of 206 reais for two with a gentle fried fly. If you like cafeteria food at New York prices, you will love this restaurant. Amen! Ingrid.

This is a tier 4 Churrascaria which is not a good thing. I will say that the service was excellent…read more The servers were really attentive and brought out the meat that we wanted in a timely manner. Now onto the problems I have with this place. The buffet is really lacking. I was in no way impressed with the selection that they had. I was actually very annoyed at how low quality selection they offered. The meat is not cooked properly. My girlfriend thought her picanha was pork because it was so tough. Granted that she likes it well done but this was like eating a leather shoe. I asked for medium rare and they brought me meat that was super super rare. I had to let the meat sit for a while just to let it cook itself. Because I was the only one in the restaurant asking for medium rare, they decided to bring everything out medium rare even though I told them I only wanted fraldinha and picanha. I didn't want the maminha nor the alcatra nor the beef ribs. However, they kept bringing them to the table bragging that they were cooked medium rare. I hope they were disappointed when I turned them down. The surprising thing for me is how they didn't throw out the meat that was cooked super well done. Instead of trying to pass it off as well done to my girlfriend, they should have simply tossed it out. The amount of meat that was still left on the stick was very little and it should have been tossed. I just can't see myself ever coming back here again. And Ataliba is supposed to be one of the better churrascarias in the city which is really really disappointing.
