Bar do Mineiro in Rio de Janeiro - State of Rio de Janeiro

"The food is authentic and tastes amazing. The portions are huge and reasonably priced. The service is fast, but they not always speak English"

"Bar do Mineiro was exactly what we needed after a hot morning exploring Santa Teresa. We stopped in for an early lunch and couldn’t have been happier with both the service and the traditional Brazilian food. Our younger kids devoured the Brazilian fried chicken—perfectly juicy, crispy, and full of flavor, which is no small feat when traveling with kids. I was equally impressed by the beer selection and especially enjoyed a pilsner from Minas Gerais that they import specifically for the bar—light, crisp, and absolutely ideal for the heat. I ordered the feijoada, and it was outstanding. Rich and deeply flavorful, served with yuca, vegetables, and fresh slices of sweet orange that cut through the richness beautifully and made the whole dish come alive. We arrived around 11:45am on a Monday and had no trouble finding seating, but by about 1:30pm the place was packed with a line forming. Plan to arrive earlier if you want a relaxed experience and time to enjoy everything. Fantastic food, welcoming service, and a great local atmosphere—this is a must-visit in Santa Teresa."

"Bar do Mineiro is the perfect stop in Santa Teresa! Everything we order was amazing! We had the Feijoada (delicious!), the porção mista de pastéis, Queijo coalho a milanesa, Frango a passarinha, Feijoada Caldo and Vaca atolada Caldo. Would eat everything again now ;) The service was great, food came out fast and I love the Santa Teresa vibes. We walked from here to Parque das ruínas and to escadaria Selaron. I would recommend ubering as it can be hard finding parking in the area."

"Considered the best feijoada in rio. It was good. Pro: - ambience - decent food Con: - packed - expensive It was worth going"

"Iconic is the best way to describe this restaurant. Seven friends and I went for a big family dinner and had so much fun. The portions are huge, 3 people can split one order! I don’t remember the names of everything we ordered, but you can’t go wrong. Even had options for our vegan friend! I’d also recommend trying the cachacas and desserts."

"Popular spot but lots of tables so there was no wait. We had the feijoada which was great, definitely one of the best in Rio."

"The dishes are amazing though I wish the plates would be a little smaller allowing us to sample more. I highly recommend to sample a selection of aged cachaça."

"What a lively, authentic Brazilian restaurant in Santa Teresa! We ordered the classic feijoada. A comforting black bean stew with beef and pork, served with rice, garlic sautéed Brazilian kale, farofa with crispy pork belly, and sliced orange. The meat was incredibly tender, the beans rich and soft, and the flavours perfectly balanced. We also tried the mixed mini pastels, crispy and freshly fried, with fillings of black beans and pork, minced meat, shrimp, and jerked beef with Brazilian cheese, all so tasty. The Brazilian lemonade was bright, very lemony and less sweet, so refreshing. Charming decor, full of soul, and quick, friendly service. A must visit in Santa Teresa."
