O Quinto
O Quinto, Pizzaria, Cozinha e Winebar
A pizza and wine bar named after the colonial-era gold tax 'quinto do ouro', decorated with works by local artists and often with live music in the evening.
Located at 86 Macau de Baixo Street and opened in 2022. The name comes from the colonial-era gold tax, 'quinto do ouro', and the dishes draw on the food culture of Diamantina and the Jequitinhonha Valley. Reviews often mention the burrata pizza, the cold cuts platter, thinly sliced beef with baroa potato dumplings, salmon and spinach risotto, and milk caramel crème brûlée. The extensive wine list includes local wines from Diamantina. Dinner only. Expect to spend around R$60–150 per person. Some reviewers find the service and value only average. It is an easy walk from the old town center.
Opening hours
Tue–Thu 6:00–11:00 PM; Fri 6:00 PM–midnight; Sun 6:00–10:30 PM; closed Mondays (Saturday hours as posted by the restaurant)
