Chafariz
Restaurante Chafariz
A family restaurant open for more than 60 years, filled with antiques; okra chicken and tropeiro beans are the classics.
Located at 167 Rua São José, the restaurant has been run by the Tropia family for more than 60 years and is considered one of Minas's most respected old eateries. The interior is full of antiques and has a nostalgic feel. It was once known for a Minas buffet, but recent reviews mostly mention à la carte orders, including okra chicken, tropeiro beans, Minas tutu bean purée, and Parmigiana steak. Orange pudding is generous enough to share between two. Prices are moderate for the old town. It is about a 3-minute walk from Casa dos Contos.
