Excellent

I always have lunch there, excellent food, varied menu and great service.

Very good food and affordable price and very nice atmosphere

I'm a fan of this place. Excellent food and even better service. It's worth stopping by late at night. Tonight we ordered fettuccine Parisienne but the parmesan was fantastic.

I really like the food and the service is always very good. Historic place in Belo Horizonte and a great place to have lunch. The atmosphere is old but well preserved.

Everything was just ok. Nothing special. Given the tradition and values of the place, I expected more, much more. The service was not very welcoming. Everything was very atypical of what is expected in Minas Gerais.
