Excellent food, very good wine and a good environment, kind and polite service for a fair price, in the best neighbourhood of Belo Horizonte.

A favorite indeed in Belo Horizonte. Go early or reserve otherwise you may not get a table. I went with a Brazilan colleague and it is one of the preferred restaurants to take his wife. A place for the beautiful people so dress smart.

Enjoyed the food but we arrived on a busy night and found ourselves in an ugly room at the back whose major function seemed to be the route to the men's washroom.

I could stay there forever! That's really what I mean. The place is so charming, that one simply don't want to leave. From starters to dessert, everything was perfect. The wine list is a separate attraction. It is a little bit expensive and employees are also a little arrogant, but as long as they keep doing their job well and... More

Don't get me wrong, the food is very good. The atmosphere is nice. What brings the rating down is the overall service. Depending on the night, the place can get pretty crowded. They will seat you though. The main room gets pretty tight. I've been there on a slow night (just our party and one other group in the place)... More

The food does not come out as something truly special or unique. And the place is bloody expensive. But the atmosphere...it has something special...great bottle of malbec! Picanha not one of the best I got in town...

A very sophisticated menu and the food was great. Service was fantastic. The menu changes frequently so it is always nice to have a little variety. I have been here several times over the last 6 months and the food has been great every time. Good selection of wines too.

The food and atmosphere are very good. If you want a more formal experience similar to a good US restaurant this is a good choice. It is a bit expensive and the dining experience will take a bit longer than a simple place but the food is good

I had two dinners at A Favorita. The Badego ( fish) was quite nice, but the filet mignon was poorly cooked and had to be sent back to the kitchen. The restaurant is a place for the rich inhabitants of Belo H. and the ambience is quite attractive ...rich wood panelling, and old wooden bar, etc. It´s quite expensive. If... More
