Cozinha do Cavaleiro — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata de Flores de Goiás

Who would have believed that in this little dirt road town 3 hours drivefrom Brasilia would be a hidden gem of a restaurant. I have dined at dozens (hundreds??) of Michelin restaurants including at least 6 that are 3over the years. This place is amazing and in my opinion deserves at least 1 star. The owner-chef is world-class and as we got to know him during our dinners it makes sense why as he trained at several of the very best 3 Mich restaurants in Spain as well as "the best restaurant in the world" at one point, (his resume far exceeds these data points). This is not to say that the experience itself is quite up to Michelin 2/3* quality when it comes to the service, setting, and table wear. But I don't feel like that's what they are trying for, just yet. The place is spacious, warm and in some way homely. Some of the food is definitely 3* worthy including the burger (yes, I know - it's a burger, but to my taste it was by far the best burger I have ever had. Nothing I have had in NY (having lived there for 10 years) or anywhere else in the world comes close - it's all about the quality of the meat, the sauce, the cheese, the bun and the balanced ratios of all ingredients) and the onion soup (again, I know how good could it be, but once again it is by far the best onion soup I have ever had - and again I have tried a lot of different onion soups in my time). Not all dishes were this good but nothing was sub par. I ate here three times in four nights. I did not have the prefix dinner but my friends did and also thought it was great. Lastly, the price, when the food is really good I normally don't care much about the price, but it's worth noting that dinner for 3 including drinks was less than $70 USD. Unless you are a foodie I would not drive 3 hours just to come to this restaurant, but if you are coming to this national park (which itself is amazing if you like hiking and waterfalls and an eclectic town), I would stay in this town just to be close to...

Estamos em uma viajem a casal para conhecer a Chapada dos Veadeiros e a sua beleza natural. Com um turismo de pegada mais aventura/Low cost, procurando a valorização do turismo local. Achamos o restaurante por indicação da página de turismo de São Jorge. Acabamos nos interessando ja que possui os ingredientes do cerrado e o estilo slow food, com a valorização de produtores e ingredientes locais. Contudo, como tudo que é muito bom, precisa de um certo investimento, para entrar dentro de nosso orçamento acabamos não escolhendo o menu degustação. (Que por sinal é muito interessante e acho que vale super a pena para experimentar e valorizar um restaurante que investe tão bem em seus pratos). Mas optamos por 1 entrada, 2 pratos principais e 1 sobremesa sem Bebida (aprox total R$ 260). Saímos extremamente satisfeitos! O restaurante com ambiente super familiar, parecia que estávamos no quintal da casa dos chefs. O chef e a chef sempre solícitos trouxeram e explicaram cada prato. Toda a sua história e os ingredientes presentes. A entrada pedimos a sopa de cristal, que é um carinho no estômago e visualmente linda! De principal pedimos o nhoque com farinha de jatobá e queijo regional. E o arroz de frango com pequi. Foram dois pratos bem servidos e o nhoque super leve!! O pequi do arroz também era incrível, nada enjoativo e a folhinha de coentro trouxe uma grande refrescância! De sobremesa, foi o predileto das araras. Fechamos com chave de ouro. Um sorvete refrescante com chantilly de doce de leite e compota de cajuzinho do cerrado. Foi uma grande experiência gastronômica!!!! Lembraremos com carinho desses ingredientes que foram tão bem trabalhados. A cozinha do Cavaleiro é incrível 👏🏻👏🏻 muito obrigada pela experiência ❤️ fica aí a dica para quem quiser receber um carinho no estômago e conhecer as...

Michelin stars are in the making! Come here asap to discover amazing cuisine at very reasonable prices before this place gets overrun. Crystals onion soup is a must! So is the burger. Filet minion and the ostrich are flawlessly executed as well and will stand on their own in top gastronomic capitals of the world. All of this takes place in a lovely, friendly and relaxed setting where the chef Lui personally greets every guest. We dined here 3 out of 6 nights in San Jorge. Cannot recommend...
