Bar do Mineiro — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

vintage ambiance, - awful service, foreigners don’t seem to be welcome!

Though Bar do Minero has a remarkable interior being put together from collectibles all over the world I had the strong feeling that foreigners are not welcome. It was suspicious that everyone except our table had a white paper tablecloth and received cutlery with their food. Furthermore we had the impression that they didn’t want us to pay since we were completely ignored when we tried to ask for the check.

This is how I know I have had one of the best stews in my life, not just the best Feijoada. The stew does not cheat - plenty of meat, sausage and beans cooked just to the right texture. The sides were perfect complements to the stew, especially the orange slices with the sauce - yes I ate it that way and saucéed the plate with it. The staff is friendly, attentive and under the classical music backdrop I was losing my mind as I had my meal. Nothing touches the soul of a sick traveller better than such a stew on...
