Bar do Mineiro
An established tavern on the hills of Santa Teresa, famous for its award-winning feijoada and deep-fried bean pastéis.
Founded in 1992 and located near Largo dos Guimarães in Santa Teresa, its feijoada once won the Veja Rio Comer & Beber award for best feijoada. The stew is served with rice, collard greens, oranges, farofa, and crispy pork rinds. Other highlights include deep-fried black bean pastéis, feijão tropeiro, and Minas sausage. It is often crowded on weekends, so it is best to arrive before the lunch rush. Sources vary on which days feijoada is served, so please confirm before heading out. The streets are steep and cobbled, making them slippery on rainy days; taking a taxi is the easiest option. Average cost is around R$61-120 per person.
Opening hours
Tuesday to Sunday from 11:00, closing around 21:00-22:00 (sources vary), closed on Mondays
