Carmela Food & Bar — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata de Pelotas

Incredible cozy restaurant, great for dinners. Perfect for a date, due to the quality music (on many nights they have live music or a DJ) and comfortable atmosphere. The area inside the restaurant is dimly lit, with organic decorations. And outside there is an area with wooden benches for relaxing. The waiters were all extremely kind, paying attention to everyone there. We felt very welcome to be eating there, and didn't feel rushed to leave once we were done eating (although that may be due to the low demand on the day we went because of rain, on busier days I can't guarantee it will be like that). The menu is extremely cute, with attention to detail in the quality of the paper, the design of the lists and the naming of the items. The food quality was tremendous, with each dish clearly having thought behind each ingredient. We ordered a salad, with lettuce, tomatoes, almonds, and mango, which fit extremely well with the other dishes. As a side, we ordered a pumpkin puree with provolone, which was by far the best pumpkin puree I've ever eaten. And our main dish was a cut of pork called matambrito, served with lime farofa. For dessert, we got a popular dish in the region which is grilled coalho cheese with doce de leite. They have a good selection of beers and a wide variety of drinks. The Sicilian Lime Italian soda was extremely delicons. It was all excellent quality, and I'm sure all the other available items have the same degree of...

Nice place. Service was very, very slow. We waited 30 minutes for our first drink. More than 90 minutes for our main dish. The food wasn't a disappointment, nice steak. The coalho cheese wasn't good at all. Inside the restaurant, there was a not pleasant smell. Music was too loud, almost impossible to keep a conversation. I understand it's a resto bar, but people should be able to talk, especially if you need to wait at least 90 minutes...

Constrangimento total! Em comemoração ao aniversário da minha esposa realizei uma reserva para duas pessoas no dia 18/01/24 às 20h, com antecedência e na opção de espaço coberto. Chegando no estabelecimento simplesmente nos apresentaram uma mesa adaptada em um degrau aonde não conseguimos ao menos se acomodar na mesa por estar extremamente apertado e sem privacidade pelo fato de estar “colado” de lado para outra família. Com educação foi solicitado junto a atendente possibilidade de remanejar aquela mesa para um local pouco confortável que pelo menos desse para acessar a mesa, nesse contexto a resposta foi negativa com a justificativa de que foi necessário adaptar o pessoal que por opção havia reservado a área descoberta na área coberta. Realizei a reserva de área coberta e com antecedência justamente para nos prevenir de questões climáticas, mas não valeu de nada, tive consequências por falta de planejamento de terceiros. Em fim, não foi possível permanecer no ambiente e classifico como uma experiência constrangedora, pois tivemos que nos retirar por falta de espaço e organização do restaurante. Imagino como será que deve ser o tratamento com pessoas que no optaram...
