Consulado Mineiro

Consulado Mineiro Review

During and after the Saturday crafts and antiques fair in Praça Benedito Calixto, it may take an hour to get a table at this homey restaurant. Among the traditional mineiro (from Minas Gerais State) dishes are the mandioca com carne de sol (cassava with salted meat) appetizer and the tutu (pork loin with beans, pasta, cabbage, and rice) entrée. The cachaça menu is extensive, with rare, premium, and homemade brands. Several types of batidas (fruit-and-alcohol mixtures) and caipirinhas are served.
