The food is Brazilian, and the welcome is warm. With its open fire, its alcove, and its intimate dining rooms, this converted mansion makes you feel as if you're eating in someone's home. Dishes such as picadinho á mineira (minced beef with onions, peppers, and bananas) or moqueca (fish or shrimp in coconut milk) are always reliable. The beer is Brazilian, too, or you may prefer to sip a more potent caipirinha (cocktail made with cachaça, a rumlike Brazilian liquor, sugar, and lime).
