This was the first restaurant we went to in Ouro Preto. Following recommendation at our hotel just across the square. Location is good, service was very nice, food so so. My wife's trout was kind of dry. I had dried meat, which was kind of interesting but again not the best dish. Mineiro specialities not available for dinner, which is... More

Our two dinners were nicely prepared. I had the Osso Buco with risotto, my wife had the filet with risotto. The meat was tender and the risotto was flavorful. The chocolate ganache was an excellent dessert choice. For a "white table cloth" rather expensive restaurant, the service was cursory and not very attentive. The staff seems to be satisfied with...

We had a very late lunch/ very early dinner where we could enjoy a fantastic view of Ouro Preto from the lovely 2nd floor dining room of Bene da Flauta. We shared an Osso Bucco, the codfish specialty dish and a mozzarella salad for 3 which was plenty enough. All 3 dishes were very good and especially the Osso Bucco... More

This is probably the best restaurant in town. The upstairs dining room has magnificant views of the town and the nearby church. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great. The food was pretty good and they did not have any problems for us sharing a main dish (although normally genuinely for one).

The food was well-prepared and fresh. Wonderful old building with lovely views from upstairs. Mid range prices.

Excellent food, excellent service. We ate here twice on a 2-day stay. That says a lot right? One of the best restaurants in Ouro Preto

Walk into this colonial house and feel that it could be in no other place but Ouro Preto. Go up to the second floor and enjoy a view of the valley in a well appointed room. Although few of the servers speak English there are enough to answer your questions. The owner-chefs had won a contest and were able to... More

Both beautiful view and good quality food makes it one of the best restaurants in OP. The interior of the house is really cozy, you feel like inside a barroque old house. Suggest to enjoy the lunch, as you can try one of the three traditional "comida mineira" dishes, the local frango ao molho pardo, tutu de feijão and feijão... More

We went for dinner at this restaurant last night and had an OK experience. In view of the lack of choice here we returned tonight. Why did we bother. The menu is a bit limited but the food is fine. However the service was appalling. We understand that since the 10 per cent service charge is added on automatically here,... More

Very nice restaurant, not brazilian food in the evening but amazing red meat. Has a nice little french touch. The view is great but we can't see much at night. If you are tired of the Food from Minas, this is a great choice. Highly recommended!
