Don’t miss this local favorite beside a rushing river just off the Teresópolis–Friburgo highway. The menu ranges from linguiça (spicy Portuguese sausage) sandwiches (R$8) to substantial meals featuring trout, picanha (steak) or roast suckling pig. Locally grown fruit also figures prominently, in fresh squeezed lemonade or strawberry-orange juice (R$12 per pitcher) and strawberries with whipped cream for dessert.
