This little market used to be giant in the 70’s, when my mom was still a teen. Now it’s just the place where the 70’s kids spend their thursdays nights eating traditional food and spending time. It’s the best place to find an acarajé, tradicional brazilian meal, in the middle of the week.

This restaurant is located in the bohemian neighborhood Santa Tereza where there are lots of bars, bistros and restaurants. It is the ideal place to eat something that for sure will taste good since it mixes two great cuisines: ours and French. Their crepes are usually big enough for two and its weird lighting makes the place look cozy and cute.

The Central Market of Belo Horizonte is undoubtedly one of the best municipal markets in the world – except for the animal shops section, my opinion. Founded in september 7th 1929, this traditional indoor market is one of the best representation of the State of Minas Gerais culture.

This offbeat bar is located in downtown, in an unexpected spot (bars like this are usually found in cool neighborhoods), where, during the day, common citizens pass frantically on their way to work or shopping. In the evening, when the fuss is gone, trendy people invade the place and parade through the bar showing their alternative style.

Although we natives politely eat and value every food, we don't have formal rituals for the main meals. Usually, we eat a single dish, and the "prato feito" (ready made dish) – or PF – is one of the best versions of this simple meal. At Jorge Americano, customers find nice and varied PFs prepared according to local recipes.

This is one of the places where locals eat and drink informally, but without giving up sophistication. The drinks are quite good, the appetizers are awesome and the prices are reasonable. From pork crackling, through bruschetta and ceviche to fillet and salmon, the Mercearia 130 is a must go in BH!
