O Passo
In a lovely 18th-century building, this restaurant has intimate candlelit rooms with marbled walls; outside, the relaxed terrace overlooking the Casa de Contos is ideal for an after-dinner drink. Everything’s superb – pizza, pasta, salads and the wine list! On Tuesday nights, don’t miss the rodizio de pizzas (all-you-can-eat pizza, R$21.90).

Casa do Ouvidor
Just downhill from Praça Tiradentes, Ouvidor has garnered numerous awards for its comida mineira (typical cuisine of Minas Gerais) main meals. The ancient upstairs dining room is especially appealing at night, when low lighting enhances its rustic charm. Definitely come with an empty stomach – portions are immense.

Bené da Flauta
Directly below Igreja de São Francisco, this place occupies two levels of a gorgeous colonial sobrado (mansion). The open, airy atmosphere, the views and the wine list nicely complement the menu of trout, steak, pasta and Mineiro specialties, all presented with flair.
