The history of this place is still palpable as we dine in what was once a slave quarter many years ago. If you pay attention to the low ceiling, the barred windows, the materials used in the building, and the decor featuring ancient and historical artifacts, you'll realize that this establishment offers a unique experience and tells a profound story.

The food complements this narrative, as much of the traditional cuisine reflects what the enslaved people could eat and how they prepared their meals to enhance the flavors.

Although the history is somber, I found it touching when our server said, "The story may be sad, but we aim to bring something good out of it and ensure everyone remembers so we don't return to dark times."

This restaurant is the best for authentic food from Minas. The dishes they prepare are incredibly tasty, and the portions are generous, making it easy to share or take leftovers home. I highly recommend ordering the traditional, authentic dishes!
